Baikal Giant X10

[minernoob1978]

i m so curious to know what will be the new algo , and sto frustrated to dont know when and dont have any news about it

You are not alone, mate!

Anybody has something like a changelog for the newer firmware 1.1? I really dont like the silence of Baikal. Suddenly theres a new firmware uploaded (but no announcment). So what is it all about, Baikal? Please keep us a bit more up2date. We feel a bit abandoned.

i wonder why baikal not makes 3rd batch for x10 there are so many ppl who would buy it

Easy, because they can make more profit selling Giant B.

Some have speculated that they will announce a 3rd batch at the same time they announce the new algos. My best guess right now is that they would do this after the B has shipped.

Perfect asic atm. Only 150w on groestl, and super effective.. Why bother with gpu mining...

Does anyone knows what extranonce option is and what it's purpose?

Just received my 2 Giant X10  at last!

It wasn't that late, taking into consideration the Holidays period!

1st, lets hope for operations with minimal problems as it seems to cause lots of them
2nd, any one would like to propose a pool to point these midgets?

Thanks and hope you all happy mining!

https://www.mining-dutch.nl/ are a good pool with auto btc conversion, xvg and geo doing well there

Baikal is an x11-x14 algorithm, quite and quark, X10 should not apply to XVG.

Hey Guys. I have created a few pools for my x10s to solo mine and I'm focusing on newer coins with relatively low network hashrates and offer masternodes. PM me if you are interested in doing some speculative mining and I will give you details. Trying to keep this small for the time being but I do have the ability to add new coins as needed.

Dude - you're wrong. X10 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DNYbXcfV4AA2LO7.jpg

Myriad Groestl = 1 of XVG's algo's

Easy, because they can make more profit selling Giant B.

But some ppl cant pay 4000 usd for giant b, thats why some ppl want x10 because its cheaper.

p.s maybe someone knows what profit actually would be per day with x10 vs baikal giant b?

Some have speculated that they will announce a 3rd batch at the same time they announce the new algos. My best guess right now is that they would do this after the B has shipped.

wonder when that is going to happen and how long we will need to wait till we can order x10 again, end of January?

Hello,

I get also my Baikal X10 (1 week ago - Austria/Europe) and everthing work nice

Until I get them, I try to find the best pool and so I have try a lot dofferend pools. For me idcray work well but the payout could be higher :/

@s2.altcoinix.com/xvg/public/ : This pool was also nice but to much issues and I don't get my mined coins! I'm not sure if I should try them now again, maybe I will again lose my mined coins?

Guys, need some help

I was digging the filesystems and i found the command history where they compile sgminer and delete the source. I'm now trying to recover the deleted files using Photorec, i could recover more than 10k files and i found many lines like this :

the problem is the photorec recovers the file with different filename like:
f0755216.txt  f0762000.gz   f0767984.txt   f0769472.h     f0770816.c  f0771216.h  f0771712.c     f0786984.txt  f0788464.h    f0808320.elf   f0819912.txt  f0820216.txt   f0820496.txt  
Its very difficult to figure out whats the original file name.
I need the original /home/baikal/sgminer folder and contents

The reason i'm looking for the original filenames and folders is because if i have the sgminer source folder i can compile with all algos and check one by one if it works. sgmine sources i can download from github but there is a driver file driver-baikal.h and possible more baikal files that i cand find anywhere.

Do you guys know how to recover deleted files with original folder and filenames? Any software or if you have chance try to recover the deleted files and se if we can recover the entire folder

I found something very interesting while poking around the x10 file structures.

I found these 2 lines:

Code:

poolAdd({url:'stratum+tcp://nist5.mine.zpool.ca:3833',pass:'x11=1,quark=1,qubit=1,groestl=1,nist5=1',priority:'6',algo:'nist5',extranonce:true});
poolAdd({url:'stratum+tcp://groestl.mine.zpool.ca:5333',pass:'x11=1,quark=1,qubit=1,groestl=1,nist5=1',priority:'5',algo:'groestl',extranonce:true});

So I am guessing either the 2 new algos are nist5 and groestl, or they originally had nist5 and groestl and decided to change the algos to skein and myr-groestl.


I also found this line:

Code:

sudo mv sgminer_300MHz_fix_NoHW  /opt/scripta/bin/sgminer 

So I am assuming they have their own custom sgminer with a fixed clock rate so there goes the overclocking dream.

Guess someone at Baikal didn't remove all their traces. Now I wonder how would we get nist5 and groestl back on there. LOL.

good work man
nist5 and groestl makes perfect sense.

dont know any nist5 coins, but this will also be very power efficient.
groestl will be slower i guess, but very profitable-
maybe too profitable to release anytime soon..

I don't know about recovering filenames... but I'd be willing to help try to sift through those recovered files for the missing custom ones. For starters, do a full text search on them for the string 'baikal' and look at those files first.

If I have some time tonight, I will try to recover some as well. Wast his done on the newly released sd image, or the original one that came with the x10?

Send him a message, he said to message him and he will pay the balances. I have asked him to respond here at forum.
As far as i know him he is not going to withheld anyones coins. Lets see!

I was able to get a successful recovery with DiskInternals Linux Recovery. There's a significant amount of info in there...

Are Baikal x10 again available for sell?

[pikachuy]

I was able to get a successful recovery with DiskInternals Linux Recovery. There's a significant amount of info in there...

Did you get a chance to compile it and does it match the sgminer on the x10?


Anywho, seeing that log on the recovery files of blakecoin share submitted and accepted, I am guessing that the Baikal Giant B is the same as the Baikal x10, just with different firmwares for different algorithms. Repackaged and re-programed with a $3k+ markup compared to the x10, smart company/choice. So I am assuming now that the 2 new algos is 2 of the algos on Giant B, but they are waiting for the Giant B to be released first before they release the updated firmware for the X10, so the difficulty don't shoot up before they can sell the Giant B.

lol damn thats a dirty move by baikal it makes sense though, the giant b came out
way too soon after the x10 hard to imagine they had a whole different team on a different fpga
for such a small company
