Baikal Giant X10

Anyone else having problems with this forum? It keeps crashing for me.

Yes, it looks overloaded: today slow performance, database errors and cloudflare connection failures.

Right now Im mining skein on MPH with all 3 machines. Having a real hard time figuring out profits as the auto conversion to BTC takes a while.

I am getting more and more concerned about my order of 10 units of Baikal X10 from ASIC miner market.  They keep sending the same crap email they have posted on the face book.. blaming everything on Baikal.  I subsequently placed orders with Baikal for "second batch" for 15 units and recently heard from Baikal asking for shipping address confirmation...

So while Baikal is getting ready to ship the second batch, ASIC miner market, is still giving excuses and saying that they have provided my shipping details to Baikal.  Bottom line is, I bought my miners from ASIC miner market and I feel it is their responsiblity to get the miners out of Baikal.  Now I am begining to feel that ASIC miner market MAY ACTUALLY BE A SCAM. Buyers beware..

They are offering "refund" but that is not good enough for me.. I feel I have been cheated.  I bought the miners at a premium in expectation of early delivery and now facing the music from them.

Has ANYONE received any Baikal X!0 ordered from ASIC miner market in the first batch?  Any thoughts on legal action?

My X10 came from ASIC Miner Market. I purchased as part of the first batch on the same day Baikal made the announcement about the miner on their Facebook page.

Just figured out how to do the profit switching on MPH. The port numbers in the browser were wrong for algo switching. They need to be 12's.

I'm warning everyone to avoid Baikal, they are as bad as they come. They sell units out from under you, they mine with the units and then they try to dump them at inflated prices when they are near becoming obsolete.

I must admit... for well over a month now I had assumed I was never going to see this miner, and chalked this entire thing up to a loss.  It's disheartening that I was not able to see the profits I originally anticipated.  I was hoping to get in on some dash or other x11 coin before it got out of hand with the Bitmain stuff.  In the end, I'm pretty pleased that it looks like I _might_ be able to see a little ROI.

I can't really find any physical evidence that allows me to conclude the miner was used before I got it.  However, as I may have mentioned, I did some digging and found that the example mining pool settings were copied on to the filesystem image in early November.  I'm not sure that proves anything... I'll leave that up to the reader.

The extra algorithms yet to come are still a bit of a wild-card.  It would be really sweet if it could mine siacoin before those ASICs hit.  I was slightly interested in one, but felt they were overpriced.  This would be some sweet irony!


Update on my experiments with fan speed settings:

I'm mining Skein right now and have had the baikal-fan setting on 30 for the past 2 hours. I finally noticed a 1 degree up-tick to 21c. Worth noting that the miner is in a finished basement.  The basement is heated, but the thermometer is just set to ensure the pipes won't freeze.

For comparison sake, I still have a meager little cube running in another room, and the temp on that is 28c.

I don't think there is a way to set a specific fan speed for a specific algorithm, so be careful if you are doing a low fan speed and have the miner set up with the possibility that it switches to one of the higher wattage algorithms...

I don't agree with you. In my experience they are trust worthy and honest. I wish them best of luck.

Where are our batch 1 units then? They are 28 days late now....

I was also in batch 1 and got my unit just a few days back, it was late for me too. But good thing is they delivered, so lets have patience and you will get it.
Baikal is honest people.

Hi im using
stratum+tcp://quark.mine.zpool.ca:4033

thanks

Am I missing something here? Why would you mine Quark at $9.92 per day when DGB-Skein will give $24.15 per day according to whattomine?

Hello, I am mining on qubit and profit is about 2000 DGB per day on miningpoolhub. what is your profit?

I'm mining Skein on one machine, with around 2000 DGB per day.
On another machine I'm running myriad-groestl with around 1900 per day.

Skein is slightly more profitable and has the least power useage, I will switch both over to it now.

but skein has 5GH and qubit 10. how is it possible that it has more profit than qubit?

Qubit:

Skein:
https://whattomine.com/coins/114-dgb-skein?utf8=%E2%9C%93&hr=5000&p=120&commit=Calculate


The numbers on whattomine are slightly low, but gives you a good idea.

which pool do you use?

don't worry, it is new algorithms

Lbry profit is huge.

yes, at this time is huge, but no one know what will be after receiving the miners.

[bitcoinexplorer]

You see another new innovation, i told you guys Baikal is honest and trust worthy and here comes with another super product. Baikal well done

Well... you are right, there will be some premine...

Different algos for this new miner, they did the right choice.

[Steven3iii]

Sooooo...why those algorithms? They seem pretty specific and unused. Obscure choices that will be mined out quickly.

[Mattthev]

Yep, the new B model with LBRY :3
