Baikal Giant N - Cryptonight, Cryptonight-lite FPGA/ASIC miner

[charles2k]

Would someone be able to share the Baikal payment details they have received for their Giant N order?
Thanks.

I have the same question.
I sent order yesterday and still no payment details.

Remember guys, the main proposal of cryptos in general is Decentralization

Asics and big farms are total against Decentralization, we are losing focus here, we can say NO to every Asic and DO NOT BUY these craps

Totally agree!!! Plus, just about EVERY cryptonote coin has used "anti ASIC" or "ASIC resistant" as one of their selling points. It's time for every one of these projects to live up to that promise and support the CPU/GPU miners that have built them up. 

 We have to spread this, lets see what devs will do to prevent Asics

You make me laugh, have you ever been to a mining farm ?
Go and see how many GPUs they have ...... and then come and talk for Decentralization 

I know about farms, but the main reason for cryptos is decentralization...right? Or I have to teach you?
It's not only me, but the devs of cryptonight coins are doing something to prevent this bs

I'm on cryptos because every single person can mine and give security to the network, and also it's a fair game
If the day of only asics and big farms come, I will leave cryptos

Fate of this asic is sealed after fork, no asic is good for crypto, they sell it only when its no more profitable. Asic buyers are always losers (hello bitmain d3 buyers).

[Msobh]

one of the main idea behind crypto is decentralization . and if one company or even two control the mining , then that basic principle is destroyed
what i like about monero is that it can be mined using GPU , CPU . so AMD and Nividia cant control it .

i will quit buying or trading on Monero if they went to ASIC .

Unfortunately, people never learn from the past... just for remainder, here is a thread from Bitmain D3 owners, it will worth to see before buy new ASIC.

Hi I have purchased 6 but have no idea where I'm looking for a power adaptor and PSU. Can someone point me in the right direction ?

Same problem, but I hope they will at least ship it with the 6pin adapter, then you just have to buy some cheap laptop PSU at least 100W I would say.

They have said they won't Any ideas where find an adaptor ?

Fate of this asic is sealed after fork, no asic is good for crypto,

And No GPU is good for Crypto neither, only decentralization is good for crypto, all major coins sooner or later should switch to POS instead POW, its the only way Crypto will rule the future.

But the price to enter on a POS is very high at the moment, GPU you can purchase for less money

PoS is a stupid idea by design.

I am hear in one of chats what baikal dont making many asics how bitmain, and this miner cant change big, situation in difficulty

[aditya6997]

GPU's and CPU's gonna be having a break from mining.

[vlad230]

It seems like every active cryptonight coin will follow the hard fork Monero will do to counteract this new ASIC.

I think this will also sort out all the coins that will make it in the future because having ASICs for new coins is always a bad idea (disregarding the algorithm).

In my opinion the coin needs to be well established and with a decent trade volume created by real investors before ASICs can be introduced to help the soon to be congested network.

All in all, I would suggest not investing into this ASIC unless you can manage to get a profit quickly and then get out fast.

How do 1 or 2 companies own mining exactly?  Using your argument you could say that Nvidia and AMD control all of GPU mining.  Producing products to mine does not equal centralization.

PoS has failed in pretty much every implementation in every single coin in crypto history. There’s a reason most coins today use some form of PoW. PoW is still the better option by far compared to PoS, and it’ll likely stay that way with algo changes to keep ASICs out on some coins for a very long time.

I thought I was going to dig ETH, and the whole net was fired, and it felt like it was too expensive.

[oomurashin]

anyone have this shipped? 

[eeX]

100% fake.

[floppydisk]

Whoa, 60 watts and MOQ of 6. Not everyone get hold on this. Too expensive even though against the risk of the coin forked to avoid these ASIC.

Yeah I agree...at 60 watts it is likely to be FPGA and thus they can tweak the firmware for other coins of that type it is made for...but if EVERYONE

is going to fork their coins, that run with this machine, well....it could be an expensive doorstop ...even before shipping.


Is there a thread or a running list of LIKELY coins that ACTUALLY will fork ...to kill this ASIC ...or is it just noise and drama, for the most part?

Monero is definitely forking with new pow on the 28th, already merged in master.

It used to lay golden eggs, now it will only lay shit.
