Would be great if you could also ssh into the box as baikal and root and type history and post that here.

Baikal...are devs from Russia?

...Unless you can get a screaming deal on a GPU or something, I think you would be hard pressed to find anything for sale that will pay itself off in under 6 months, even with free electricity.

Yes it seems like all the miner manufacturers these days price for about a year of mining to make your original investment back.  But a lot can happen in a year: more efficient miners released for the same algorithm, your miner breaks long before the year is up, coin prices crash, etc...  Doesn't seem worth buying anything anymore.

I think like you do, after all maybe buying mining is not that useful.

Thank you everyone for your answers

I'll pull the firmware and try it out in my BK-X10 in the next day or 2..

would be great if you could post the firmware here to download, my network technician can then look at it and test whether it is accordingly adaptable to the X10, this possibility I would have

Do you have any link we can download?

If you guys order some, don't forget to order 6pin PCI-E splitter cable, this time, Baikal delivers not cables at all

And you need to know there are 14 6pin molex connectors on the BK-G28, so order plenty of this splitter cables.

[baikal]

Hello, Thanks for the support on Baikal miner.

BK-G28 will need total 14 PCI-E plugs and it is recommended that all 14 connectors connected, but if are not able to get enough plug, make it at least 9 connectors plugged. see below:
There is no PCI-E cable included in the box, kindly note this.

"2 hash boards, with fan cable attached, plug two connectors,  other 5 hash boards can plug just one connector“

Guys, jsut for you to know: Shipping is withing 10 (!!!) days after payment received from baikal. Thats bad....

Guys, jsut for you to know: Shipping is withing 10 (!!!) days after payment received from baikal. Thats bad....

And now the profit with Groestl algo is 8.38 $/day....... i think that ROI of this G28 that will arrive now is very difficult/impossibile..... .........

Anyone with a little knowledge should have seen that this would happen within days and should not have calculated with the big initial Groestl profits.

...and its easy to infer that releasing Groestl on X10 would have been useless given so many X10's out there.

Baikal tried to  make the best of the situation, just released it on G28 to make a quick buck, nothing more. But that trick is over now.

I got my BK-G28 delivered yesterday. I have it up and running on Skein but am only getting 12 GH/s poolside instead of 14 GH/s advertised; tried two different pools so far.

Baikal Miner Web UI is useless for checking actual hash rate and it just seems to display a dummy number per card no matter what. Case in point: one of the hash-boards on my BK-X10 is seemingly dead 2 months after ordering, and the web UI still shows 1.746 Gh/s for the board and 3 boards for 5.238 Gh/s total; just that it shows 0 accepted shares on the faulty board. Pool-side shows around 3 GH/s because of the broken board despite that Baikal Web UI shows 5.238 GH/s

It seems BK-G28 behaves similarly and shows the hardcoded advertised speed of 2.028 Gh/s per board for 14.19Gh/s total no matter what. Either that; or my broken board on my BK-X10 IS still hashing at 1.76 GH/s and it's reporting correctly and just for some reason is getting no shares.

[astraleureka]

The hashrate report is correct, it is generating that number of hashes, but there is damage or other problems preventing valid shares.

interesting, do this cheat also apply to baikal x10

[astraleureka]

It's not a cheat.

[Andartis]

Be careful though on the power intensive algos. You will draw more current from one connector. If you use your PSU cable without splitter, that should be fine on low power algos. But if you e.g. mine X11 and, even worse, connect one splitter from a 6pin PSU cable to two boards, this wont be a good idea.

And just remember again: Ratinds: 8pin connector 150w, 6pin connector 75w.
[edit]

[percy_tc]

you have to attach all 14 cables, if you want to prevent burned circuit for x11 algo. each of them is certified for 75W, do the math.

Yeah, thats what i mean. I edited my sentence, since it could be misunderstood.
