i paid 3600 USD for one miner and bought 6 miners 15 days ago.

now, 1900 USD for 5 miners.
it s not ethic ! i will not buy. totally disaster.


Bad deal. I mean when these Baikal N came out the Bitmain Antminer was advertised as well with 3x the price for 10x the hashpower. So in my opinion it didn't make much sense to pay 3.600 USD per unit to be honest.

Is anyone going with the buy 1 get 5 deal? Or considering it? Even though XMR forked there still might be some profit available with other coins and it ships in 7 days

I will give it a try. 1.900 is ok for some risk invest, lol.
Somehow i have a feeling that some coins may fork back or new coins will get on this algo and or new software updates will be made, not that Baikal is know for fast updates :-)))


What risk. This is a total waste of money. All the cryptonight coins have forked or are forking. Why you think Baikal is giving away 5 for the peice of one? This Asic is totally worthless now

Maybe, maybe not :-)
As said, i will give it a try and see which coins are leaving on cryptonite and how the new moneros are doing. With 60W i do not care too much at all, neither do they cost USD 10.000.

What is Cryptonight V7 ?

Why the asic cant mine this?

When they made this ASIC it was designed for Cryptonight not Cryptonight V7 which is a POW change

Next week it will be buy 1 and get 50 miners and in 2 weeks they will give them away for free !!

I told you that It is a SCAM this miner.... No one ROI ! Who bought the first day lost the most.

First public-ready algorithms should be done around mid to late June.  However I am hesitant to 'release' the bitstreams unless numerous algorithms are available.  I wouldn't want someone to invest $10K in hardware with only 1 or 2 algorithms in case those coins profit or ROI suddenly changes.  A good investment would be to have 4-5 algorithms available, making the hardware more secure against market changes.
Anyway, once people start mining with PC's linked to numerous high end FPGA cards, they will be 'immune' to forks since the algorithms in the FPGA's can be changed as fast as developers can fork their coin, actually faster in most cases since even a poorly tested rig can still mine, whereas a coin cannot fork until the new setup is heavily tested.




Good work,
what platform you are targeting only Virtex? Some lower end Kintex UltraScale, Kintex UltraScale+ parts have enough internal ram to run at least one instance and they are much more easy to find ready to ship.  
 

The three boards I am going to initially support are the Nexys Video (XC7A200T $490), Avnet AES-KU040-DB-G (Kintex Ultrascale+ $975), and VCU1525 (Virtex VU9P $3995).  I will start a thread soon and list which algorithms will be released for each board (the Virtex can run all the algorithms, the Kintex can run most, the Nexys can only run a few).

My implementations are 100% unrolled pipelines running at one clock cycle per stage.  The ROI on the Kintex and Virtex boards range from 50-150 days based on the algorithm, in today's bear market with 1-2 year ROI's on GPU's.  If the market rises back to Dec/2017 levels, ROI would be ridiculously short.

Please do not purchase any of the above hardware until I announce the official hash rates.  I hope other FPGA developers follow my lead and stop mining in secret and start spreading the wealth.  We need to give crypto back to the people.  With enough people mining with high end FPGA's, Bitmain and Baikal can no longer control the market and screw people over.

Power consumption for 90% usage on the VCU1525 is around 170W.  The best high end rig is a standard mining motherboard with 8 x VCU1525 and a single 1600W power supply.


Hi whitefire990,

Thanks for your awesome works for developing the FPGA firmware for CN v7 algo.
I am owned several Nexys Video (XC7A200T) and play around a bit with it and really interested to help you for testing and debugging purposes.
Please let me know if you think you need more hands for testing and debugging!

Keep up the awesome works!
Cheers ;-)

I was thinking the same. Then I checked the list of the coins that forked and.......99% forked!!!!!!

That's why they sells 5 at the price of one. Because there are no coins left to mine. Nothing. So no. Buying these machines even for 30 bucks would not be worth.


Where is that list you are referring to?

Thanks,

Jeff

On whattomine. Just select Cryptonight. The others moved to V7

News from Baikal, i recive this tweet.....
Is possibile?
They are in Panic!!!

That's the funniest twitter i've ever read from an asic manufacturer. Thanks for sharing.

Of course it is possible. They know within a week or so the miner will be useless except for Bitmain's own shitcoin.

Good lesson for people who bought this miner. It won't be good even as home heater, maybe door stopper then?  Roll Eyes Grin

This is hilarious, you see what company greed does. Soon they will be promoting "buy 1 get 10!"  Grin

and then in the end when no one still buys them they will just donate them to charity and say how responsible and caring company they are. Good job!  Roll Eyes
