what is the fpga miners ?
I am wait monero's fork because after this, all virus miners switch's off and we see how many computers was infected
Topic: Baikal Giant N - Cryptonight, Cryptonight-lite FPGA/ASIC miner - page 15. (Read 32830 times)
Monero community could be vibrant, but good question is why the monero devs didnt increased the scratchpad size from the current size (2Mb), fpga miners are not affected by this fork 
bitmain is throwing a hissy fit...haha...oh well, I wonder if it's going to have any traction. XMR has a very vibrant community, not sure if bitmain can pull its weight with "monero classic".. 
Edit: Basically a war of sorts has started between the big centralized Asic manufacturers and the communities of those coins. With XMR updating and some Cryptonight coins also updating I'm now wondering about Etash with ETH, ETC etc. Also Equihash, time to pay more attention to the difficulties on these networks. When they suddenly increase, it should give us an idea that one of the manufacturers is probably mining with Asics.

Anyone know about Baikal Giant-N Plus??
with 80Kh cryptonight??
is that overclocked by factory or firmware updated??

Their github repository is just clone of monero from Oct 2017 without any commits since then. And was created just yesterday. I doubt they will manage to spread the "XMC" to people and pools in 2 days without any software ready. But maybe they want to mine privately first...
Oh 
Well, will see if Bitmain release ASIC with V7 or this classic algo

Weird, I'm looking at the global Cryptonight hashrate and don't see any big changes in difficulty. Thought that we would see a massive spike in difficulty.

Go back further and see how the difficulty has sky rocketed. It's insanity, I'm grateful for the XMR update in 3 days. At least my AMD rig which is solely dedicated to XMR will start earning me muchos dineros again.....
Ok, thanks for clearing this up! Should have used my own brain in the first place and zoomed a bit out

Did anyone order N+?
Hmmm the Baikal N+ cost now 2499usd and have an hasing power of 80 KH/s and using 120W . The Halongen X2 costs 3000usd and and 248 KH/s and using 490W.
The Baikal N+ to be price competitive should cost not more than 970usd (just comparing the power hash rate and doing some easy calculations) without even considering the much better power efficency of the Halongen. Also some people are already receiving some Halongen miners and shipping with halongen seems to be VERY fast. I am not promoting this or the other company. I am just reporting some experiences and my experience. Dealing with Baikal directly is a pain in the butt. Dealing with Richard at Halongen is super easy and smooth.
Also even if you order the Baikal N that is "in stock" it will take anyway not less than 15 days to arrive. AT LEAST. They are slow as hell at shipping.
Also, Asicminermarket is the only company having the new Baikal N+ as far as I can see. So OR they are very "tight" with Baikal or they know how to mod the firmware. I would opt for the 1st option.
Baikal started the right way with "right" prices but then they went in the wrong direction increasing the prices like crazy. A ROI of 4/5 months nowdays is too dagenrous to be kept in consideration.
I am glad that some people see how bad company BECAME BAIKAL.
They just want your money ! They don't care if you will ROI or if the next day the miner will be doorstop.
Duh, they're all that bad. Turns out Baikal has been mining on these things since at least December. First they take the profit out, then they sell you the scraps at rates that will never pay for themselves.
It's pretty simple, why would anyone EVER sell a machine that prints money? There is only one reason.... If they could make more money by selling the money printing machine than the amount of money that the money printing machine could produce. Stop wasting your money.

You are looking at the wrong period. Hashrate had already spiked before this chart.
Instead see this, https://www.coinwarz.com/network-hashrate-charts/monero-network-hashrate-chart, drag the bar at the bottom all the way to the left and you will see that it was 290 MH/s in Dec and spiked to 1000 MH/s by first week of Feb. 3x in three months.
Edit: Actually more than 3x in less than 2 months.

At the end did you receive your miner from asicminermarket?
If so, how long they took to ship it?
thanks!
I think 10 days.If so, how long they took to ship it?
thanks!
So Baikal is also updating the algorithm for the fork? If so, that's pretty awesome man.
They said 'soon' , soon in china means never ! BAIKAL is just SCAMMING PEOPLE. did they drop the price to $1000
? No !
20 kH/s isn't bad at all, but I'm still perturbed that Baikal and Bitmain would mine these until the fork announcement and then they try to dump it on the market. It's just really bad business, especially since Bitmain is trying to push their AI on the market.
Baikal Giant N - ETN mining = h/s ?
h/s ? price is too high) only one achievement - low power consumption)
Umm...
20 KH/s for $3600?
To build a GPU rig to do that you would need 10 Vegas... Those are $900 each and use 220 watts each at least, so...
10 x $900 + $600 (rest of rig) = $9,600 for the equivalent GPU rig...
Daily run time cost....
Baikal - $0.14 @ $0.10 per KWh
Vega - $5.28 @ $0.10 per KWh...
I'm still not buying one and hope it isn't true...

A lot of people call for scam when talking about asicminermarket, but at the end I think that the real problem is just that they delay with the shipping. I can't find anyone that have been scammed for real. please correct me if I am wrong because I am considering Asicminermarket to buy my next batch of X10 and N
Sounds like a scam to me if they say they will ship in X amount of days but don't ship until way later. Costs the buyer loads of money during those missed early days of mining. That's when it matters most...
