What Fan setting do you guys use? 50%?

Probably depends on the ambient temp and other operating settings and also seems like the protocol its processing would affect heat alot along with the power.

i think it will happen like with the x10 - till we get it is not really profitable anymore.
atm lybr would give about 490$/day.

Sounds good depending on the daily average power usage over hashrate, uptime and the going price for these actually delivered.   I would also only order on a credit card in case of 'delays'  pays to be paranoid

Well you can let the X10 run at 20-50% fan without any problems depending on the algorythm (if you´re not mining X11)... so I guess there is a "sweet spot" for the B too ?!

Talked to Baikal Support... max 40 Degree is a safe working temperature... that should be possible with fan at 60% or less.

I've currently bought 2 at the buy 1 get 2 rate. I would like to buy potentially 4 or 6 more, but I'm unsure if thats the right decision.

It seems fairly obvious that the only value in this miner is with LBRY and PASCAL. Do you think there could be a competitor coming out with a LBRY or PASCAL asic that would brick this machine?

Nobody has a crystal ball. It’s all a gamble.

Nobody knows about new ASICs for these algos, there's been no announcements and recently new miners just pop up out of nowhere. The best advice I can give you is don't put all your eggs in one basket. Profitability changes with the wind with coins like LBRY or Pascal.

Hi. On my Giant B, I did a SD card reset (it was freezing more frequently recently). When I turned it back on, the red LEDs are solid, and the blue LEDs don't light. I can connect to the GUI and I have the "no devices running" banner. I realized that I plugged the orange pi incorrectly. I offset it forward (away from the heat sink) by one pin. I reset it correctly, but red on, blue off persists.

I read the post about "STM Device in DFU Mode" and thought I hit paydirt, but "lsusb | grep 0483" returned "Bus 007 Device 003: ID 0483:5740 STMicroelectronics STM32F407"

I traded the OPI/controller with my X10 and the X10 still works.

I got nowhere with Baikal support.

Can anyone help, or have I killed the B?

I am still stumped by this. Can anyone else help? Is there a better place to post this question?

   On their website , they state operating temp is 0-40 C.   Do they mean the room temperature or the miner ?

      40C seems very low for the max of the miner.     My GPU's run 40-78C .

Chip Temp!

But as I guess... X10 and the old products are able to run much hotter.. so this is just a statement to be on the safe side maybe.

I think by ambient, baikal means means room temperature. Also, if you check baikal monitor software, there is an overheat protections set to 55 C degress if i am not mistaken.

I chatted o Baikal Support on this today, he confirm that 0-40c is device temperature show on Baikal interface. I told him it is impossible for me below 40c when I mine Lbry. I ask him if he knew any clients run more than 50c and still running fine. His replied is that he knew clients running fine at 50+ but better don't run more than 60c.

I would assume this giant b should be ok to run 50+ but below 60c.

    I think something got lost in translation.    Could the chip run properly at zero degrees Celsius ?   Mine have been running 29-46 C .

Indeed. 0 - 40 C is a room temperature for sure. My chips are appr. 40 C and pi zero 50 - 55 C for several months without any problem.

I had some Baikals X10 running some cold winter days at -1C room temperature without any problems.

Edit.:  I mean the chip temperature showed -1C.

Can anyone confirm if their Giant B ever auto-switches to Library while on Nicehash? Mine definitely do not.

[citronick]

Can anyone confirm if their Giant B ever auto-switches to Library while on Nicehash? Mine definitely do not.

Mine doesn't as well.  I have switch to CoinMine.PL from NiceHash to mine on just Library.

set the following:

scan-time 0
no-submit-stale true
enable-nicehashsma: true
extranonce true

In my case, currently on Nicehash on LBRY, sometimes it goes to DCR, but mostly stays in LBRY.

My Giant B does auto-switch to LBRY while on Nicehash using the same settings posted here.

           Is nicehash paying better ?  Mine are paying about 47 coins LBC per day on supernova pool.   (About $15.00)

2 ways to look at this:

1. Sell hash at NH and get BTC up front

OR

2. Accumulate LBC coins into wallet or exchange

During a bull run just around the corner, it will be wise to have a bag of BTCs

This strategy may be good for many and some may disagree...

I understand that .  However , is it currently paying better on the Giant on NiceHash ?      At times I would run Nicehash on my gpu rigs at it was good . Later after they got hacked it seems like the auctions were paying below market .   I have seven B's running on SuperNova LBRY and I manually sell 300 coins a day or 600 in two .

[/quote]Nicehash is about the same, some days a bit better some days a bit worse.

   I am happy with Supernova so I'll keep them there .    It seems more stable than Nicehash that would occasionally run amuck .

I tried on NiceHash and their reported hashrate always lower on my Giant B, therefor also under pay.  I am on CoinMine.pl for just few days and seems like daily is getting around 42 coins.  I am thinking to try out Suprnova since you manage to get 47.  

May I know are you using highdiff port lbry.suprnova.cc:6257  ?  What is your setting for d=xx in the password field?

[/quote]


I am using :   stratum+tcp://lbry.suprnova.cc:6257 .   I just put a single x.      I just checked the actual payouts .  They have been averaging 1.92 coins per hour .  About 46 coins per day .  My machines are reporting 42.4 Gh/s.   I now have most on 240v , but don't think that would matter much.  Its pretty exciting and much less headache than the GPU miners.
