Oh very nice Grin

I just bought one, but i did something wrong with power and some chips are burnt sadly. Embarrassed

I m looking for a picture close by from one side to see what it says on the chip.
The right side on the board next to the power switch.
can you take a photo pls?

Same thing happened to my cube some months back. weird, a chip on the right side suddenly burst when >i turned it on. The fan works but no ip signal. Have given up on fixing it, am just gonna take that loss. Embarrassed

Never had any problems with the quad towers though, they are prob still my favourite. Not the strongest anymore but the most quiet by far.

Bottom line is ES helps in Multialgo pools (like Zpool etc.)by efficiently switch between different Algos and also improve hashing in P2P pools with dynamic difficulty.

In the cube pdf guide "Check box for pools supported Extranonce"

What is extranonce?

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/nonce-and-extranonce-algorithm-1040859

This what I found. Are the minis lack EN subscribe? It doesnt efect speed if I know, right? Please correct me.

I read extranonce is new with sgminer v5.. i think the minis and my a900 giant use like v4.9 so they wouldnt have it (unless we can upgrade?)

does anyone know if extranonce increases hashrate/shares or anything?

Temporary Testing Setup. Working fine with my EVGA 850 PSU.

Baikal Cube with its Pi Zero Controller.

CE Markings on both Cube PCB and Pi Zero Controller.

Belly of Baikal Cube.

Pi Zero with 4GB image card.

Pi Zero with WiFi Anntina.

My advice is to thoroughly read the Cube setup pdf first (10 mins max) before starting the CUBE.
http://www.baikalminer.com/cn/down/CUBE.pdf
follow the instructions if your CUBE is still not working then contact for the Baikal support.
As for WIFI setup i am waiting for some seasoned Linux devs to work on that.
My main focus is now to use the Cube image for my Quads so that they can mine with ES.

Thanks for posting this review. I've seen another review where the guy had problems getting it started. How was your setup?

What cables did you need to connect it to the PSU, were any of these included?

And the wifi, any problems/issues getting that to work?

Cheers

It's nice that they have finally decided to use 6pin PCI-E molex power connector.

Please make sure that the link is OK, since I cant't open it, unlike other your links.

So tomorrow i will upload 2 import results.
1. Cube working with WIFI
and second more important.
2. I WILL TRY TO COPY THE CUBE IMAGE TO MY OTHER CUBES AND LET SEE IF MY CUBES WILL HASH WITH EXTRANOUNCE OR NOT. AS I AM GUESSING THAT ITS A SAME CHIP AND SOFTWARE IS A BOTTLENECK.

How many cubes did you get? Wasn't it one per account?

Really cool that you can mine wirelessly with the Cubes! I thought Baikal just merged 2 minis together in a nicer package and sold it as a Cube.

Where did you get those Cubes BTW? I keep getting the run around from Baikal.

Baikal Cube Setup

BaikalMonitor detected Cube (The Top one) without any issue.

Cube is mining just fine with my Pool backups from old Quads.

Cube UI interface is updated and it added Extranounce Checkbox.

Only issue I found that BaikalMonitir is indicating My Cube as SICK. but its working fine. One more thing to be noted that Cubes have 4 chips for 150 Mhz but Cube have 9 Chips. 1 extra chip for 300 Mhz.

Downloaded images of Pi Zero from their website. WIFI ANTENA is an interesting addition.
