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

[cod3gen]

I already have a working version. Which will be made public in a short time. Bummer is, not possible to OC, and not possible to mine V7 at this moment. Firmware updates are needed.

Awesome, so what possible tweaks could be made? Intensity or something?

From this photo is clear they use two crystal oscillators to drive the ASICs clocks, could be for simpler design they use fixed frequency multipliers in every ASIC chips and the chip frequency is not configurable through software but the crystals oscillators can be changed , some old school overclocking


Also they use I2C or SPI protocol to communicate to the "command" board this could be reverse engineered also and custom firmware could be crafted but this require skilled person with a lot of free time

[wudafuxup]

lol 

not possible to OC, and not possible to mine V7 at this moment.

Fan speed? :-D
From my findings, both clock and algo is limited to firmware on the ST chip. Maybe a brighter mind can figure out some more, its out in the public: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3206908.0

So fan speed and api port? That's cool

That can be easily checked like i wrote they are using I2C or SPI protocols to communication with off the shelf STM32 chip, most like I2C judging from the number of pins to the main board, I2C or SPI communication can be sniffed with standard equipment and the communication protocol reversed engendered ....

did you mine with baikal giant N now? how much the powerdraw of that asic, sir?

[cod3gen]

did you mine with baikal giant N now? how much the powerdraw of that asic, sir?

Yes, but i have not checked power draw at the moment, but its around 60w, no doubt. Produces no heat with fan at 20%.

I haven't checked that too, but I've set fan to 5%, still 32°C only.

[valthonis]

We still think these are going to be profitably after the Monero fork and possible ETN fork?

Doubt it.

In b4 MoneroVer Cash.

Calling it.

Hey man, have you checked if your baikal miner fpga or not? 

[Mattthev]

Hey man, have you checked if your baikal miner fpga or not? 

It's ASIC.

[Wananavu99]

Hey man, have you checked if your baikal miner fpga or not?  

It's ASIC.

Oh man, I was hoping it was going to be fpga....You think you can recoup your cost before the fork?  

[yrk1957]

Are there 100 days to go before the fork?

If you get lucky you might make over $100 before the fork.

...and HODL for very very long time.

Baikal seems still to be sitting on a bunch of devices. They just onlined 7.5MH on my pool
