I had the same problem, I have received this miner more than 2 weeks, I have configured static IP and write a new image on SD card,  the problem didn't solved, but it doesn't loose connection as often as before.
I think they have no solution for this problem

The one thing I noticed was the network port had solid lights, no blinking and when I pulled the network cord the lights stayed solid as opposed to shutting off like normal. Not sure if that proves anything other then the problem isn't with our network but rather the hardware or software inside the X10. It wouldnt be a big deal but it sucks to have these things happen over night and miss out on a few hours of mining.

I have a feeling that the X10 algos will be different than the B's.  'B' probably because it's hardware tailored to 'Blake' type algorithms.  Part of me thinks that they asked what algos. people wanted, and some of the more popular ones asked for may have required slightly different hardware architecture to pull off than was in the X10.  This is probably meant to hit that market they identified.

BTW: Running the x10 with a fan setting of 35 makes it super-quiet.  I thought it was off when I went into the basement because I could not hear it over the sound of the dehumidifier. Temps steady at 22c.

so you run fan at 35 load of 100? have you tested temps on all algo's?

Yes.  I had the fan set on 35 for DGB Skein last evening, and all through the night.
Temps stayed at 22c on all boards.

I have moved over to mining DGB Myriad-Groestl for the past 6 hours, and the temps went up to 23c, so I bumped the fan up to 40.

I mined qbit for a few hours when I first got the miner because I had pool settings for that at hand, and there was a lot of warm air coming out. With Skien, the miner is basically spitting out room-temperature air. I imagine that you would need it to be on almost full blast if doing X11, but I have not mined any other algorithms yet.

I want to warn people that you should only go this low if you know there is no chance your miner will switch over to a more power-hungry algorithm. The only pools on my X10 right now are either skein, or myriad-groestl.

1 of my 3 keeps going offline after 7-8 hours of running. Can't access the webpage and need to do a full reboot or two to get it to come back up. Anyone else having a problem like that? Seems network related.

Yes! This happened to me last night.  I had to reboot it a couple times, and even rebooted my home network. The machine came up with a different IP.  Something with DHCP might not be working right.  I may try to configure it to use static IP, but I don't want to touch it if it's working.
Static IP didnt do anything. Machine was offline this morning. Can't ping it. Guess I will try flashing the stock image on it.

It happens to me also every 1,2 day that it turns off and I dont know why.. no ping nothing.. Poweroff-power on and it works fine again, seems like a network problem.
I thought that static would solve the problem but havent tried it out yet..
Keep us updadet if somebody found a fix for this.

I found something very interesting while poking around the x10 file structures.

I found these 2 lines:

Code:
poolAdd({url:'stratum+tcp://nist5.mine.zpool.ca:3833',pass:'x11=1,quark=1,qubit=1,groestl=1,nist5=1',priority:'6',algo:'nist5',extranonce:true});
poolAdd({url:'stratum+tcp://groestl.mine.zpool.ca:5333',pass:'x11=1,quark=1,qubit=1,groestl=1,nist5=1',priority:'5',algo:'groestl',extranonce:true});

So I am guessing either the 2 new algos are nist5 and groestl, or they originally had nist5 and groestl and decided to change the algos to skein and myr-groestl.


I also found this line:
Code:
sudo mv sgminer_300MHz_fix_NoHW  /opt/scripta/bin/sgminer 

So I am assuming they have their own custom sgminer with a fixed clock rate so there goes the overclocking dream.

Guess someone at Baikal didn't remove all their traces. Now I wonder how would we get nist5 and groestl back on there. LOL.


Baikal is indeed using a custom sgminer.

I attempted to decompile the sgminer, but didn't get far. However I did find this in the code:

Code:
--baikal-options    Set baikal options clock:recover temp:cutoff temp   
--baikal-fan    Set baikal fan speed(percent)

I haven't tested the clock option, but I think it might just be the lower limit at which the miner reboots if the clock speed falls down.

hi there, I am mining on qubit and profit drop to 1600 DGB 24 hour, any ideas?
thanks

Easy, other people are getting their miners, therefore difficulty increases. That is why calculation websites are not a good source for future profit. It only calculates "TODAY" profit if hashrate stays the same.

So you can bet that Baikal Giant B calculation will be the same outcome, which is downward.
Thanks for answering me.
I know that difficulty increased, But I am interesting what other people is doing, which algo are they mining at this time.

Guys, how long have you waited for your X10s and all went good with Baikal orders?

(sending passport scans and similar)?

Thanks

Waited for 2 months. Received them yesterday... Terrible customer service. A one point thought i got scammed. I have also a bigger order with the second batch and i wonder when we will get that... I will think twice before i do business again. Unless with the two new algos we get filthy rich.


Thanks!
Uf... I feel your pain, I'm not sure whether to try them out or not, to be honest.

Still no word about the price or shipping date for the new miners?

Does anybody knows if the X10 will power down automatically if (for any reason..) it overheats?


I see an email warning system but don't think it has to do with overheating.

good work man
nist5 and groestl makes perfect sense.

dont know any nist5 coins, but this will also be very power efficient.
groestl will be slower i guess, but very profitable-
maybe too profitable to release anytime soon..

I ran across the 300Mhz_fix line as well. If you look at early screen-shots that Baikal provided, you can see the miner chips are running at 420mhz, but producing the same hash-rate they are now (at 300) on our machines. I suspect this is the cause of the efficiency increase from the original stated numbers as well.

The poolAdd lines you found are _very_ interesting.  I had myself somewhat convinced that someone was/is indeed using these things to mine groestl.

Ok I followed the guide here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/setting-a-static-ip-address-for-baikal-x10-miner-tutorial-2456384 for setting static IP. **Note that my default gateway and dns for my netgear router was 192.168.1.1 not .0 as in that post. Took me 2 tries to figure that out.. Fingers crossed that the miner will make it through the night.

i got my 2nd batch waybill today.

also wonder about the 2 promised algos for the x10,
i bet they sell giant-b first and then (if ever) release 2 of the giant-b algos for the x10..
or something like this..

I'm still waiting to get from batch 1....
Hello , have you have tracking yet ? i'm same you . waitting for bath 1 . and nothing to here
