Topic: Baikal Giant N - Cryptonight, Cryptonight-lite FPGA/ASIC miner - page 40. (Read 32830 times)
Shouldn't people be wondering why these are for sale now and not when they were prob built in early jan? You are being sold used and soon to be almost useless miners once monero forks. Wake up people.
Got a reply from Ricardo Spagni on twitter @Fluffypony about Baikal N mining monero:
It won’t mine Monero, so sorry for anyone that orders it without realising they’re being scammed.

what is the todays profit, 20-25$?
how do you think what is after receiving this miners

less then 20-25$

The guys over at baikal(or asicminersmarket?) have probably been mining with this equipment for a while. Did a quick search on google, and this thread came up: https://www.reddit.com/r/MoneroMining/comments/7s9zwe/fpga_mining/ - with the identical specs with the "new" baikals. It may seem that we are receiving used equipment and that this is reason of increase of hashrate over the last months. The reason for them selling them now may well be the upcoming fork.
Very interesting...really the same specs, thanks for sharing...in effect I do not find that Baikal declare that those units are new...but probably passed looong BurnIn tests

If Electroneum change the algo like Monero announce, the daily trading volume of all other cryptonight coins are very low, and We can expect a big price drop of cryptonight coins soon. Coin owners probably protect their coins, and change the algo.
ROI for this unit will be long...
Good thing is that price of cryptonight contracts on NiceHash will be very low

there are always fail safes everywhere, so as cryptonight devs will not allow it and so baikal company have ways to adapt to a new algo if that happens, let's see who will win in the end.
Hi I have purchased 6 but have no idea where I'm looking for a power adaptor and PSU. Can someone point me in the right direction ?
Same problem, but I hope they will at least ship it with the 6pin adapter, then you just have to buy some cheap laptop PSU at least 100W I would say.

Just dropped a request on Electroneum official webpage for BANNING this miner. This ASIC will ruin mining experience. XMR already announced that they would ban this shit.
It will be funny watching ETN devs doing another great job on their Github and then rolling it back because whole net stop working 
ETN has devs? TIL
Last time they paid a guy from the monero community to apply a patch that was written months ago because they had no idea what to do with it...
or I hope so BTW you would be lucky if they even answer... I'm waiting for unblocking my wallet for 2 weeks.
Mattthev - Your miner is still in production mining for them!
I know that, it's called output control Yeah, I heard, but it says 72 hours shipping, would be great

So is it a FPGA or ASIC? Or it has gender identity crisis?
It should be FPGA since it support 2 algos. Just like other Baikals.According to girl, its ASIC.
Also, it doesnt support 2 algos, cryptonight-lite is just cryptonight, but with half of the scratchpad.
I know the differences between Cryptonight and Cryptonight-lite, I was porting the latest XMR-STAK-AMD for Aeon...
I don't understand ASICs too much so I might be wrong.

So happy to see this thing dead on arrival.. XMR + IPBC switching algos, with hopefully other CN coins to follow. Fuck you, baikal. 
Has any other CN coin announced support for the switch yet? Sumo and ETN, for example.
