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

Could the chip run properly at zero degrees Celsius ?   Mine have been running 29-46 C .  

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.

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


   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.

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.

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?

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 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.

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

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 ?!  Wink

Is this worth buying now? Also, does this run loud like an Antminer?

Thank you in advance.

You didn't kill it.
I have the same problem everytime after A power down.

You did something not correct with the commands.

Did you also do the 2 echo commands?

Yes, even though it didn't seem to be in DFU Mode, I did eventually try the 2 echo commands.
susb | grep 0483 still returns Bus 007 Device 003: ID 0483:5740 STMicroelectronics STM32F407


I don't know what else to try.

In reference to the above post:





Thanks for your post. I've been looking for an example of the setup screen for the Giant B. I hope to have one online sometime today.  Do you see a significant difference in your mining when using the "baikal-fan", "scan-time", and "no-submit-stale" options?  Thanks.

Funny you bring up these questions about scan time and no submit stale.. I have a 4 baikal Bs mining pascal on nicehash.. this could be totally random but i set one of them to not have either option on and another to only have scan time on.. the other two have both on.

It seems that the one with only scan time often has higher accepted hashrate than the other 3.. and another maybe.. the one with both disabled has higher accepted hashrate then the other 2 but less than the first..this could be wrong as it only shows current hashrate and not average over 6 or 12 hours for each rig unfortunately.. but i'm thinking of setting all of them to have scan time enabled but no submit stale disabled as that does seem to make a difference for pascal on nicehash (not 100% sure tho).. other pools it might not make a difference

If this helps your hashrate, please send over a merit point or two!
