If the BK-X is not an FPGA miner then why would Baikal ask customers which algo's they wanted to see next? If the algo's are already baked into the hardware they should have said "which of the following do you want to see released next". Not a wish list of algo's you want to see.
where did you see , they ask that ?
If i can choose , in this range of H/s (5gh ~10gh) , without hesitations, the best are phi1612 and Timetravel10
But as Lux ever pretenting can fork , even against FPGA, think it's pretentious but probably they dont want fpga and asic. so may be skunkhash instead of phi1612
Quite some time back Baikal posted this question about what algo's we wanted supported next. You wouldn't expect them to ask us what we wanted and vote on it if it were already baked into the chips. I am sure someone will dig up that post where they asked us.
Yes, I remember they asked about algo's. It was before shipping batch1, in September - October. So maybe they were just playing nice or programing of x10 has not been done at that time. The known algo is Groestl. I remember in another thread there was information which algo's were found in baikal software, but know don't remember were there more algo's despite nist5, groestl and x11ghost.

Would be great if they would accept crypto as payment...
They actually accept crypto for shipping cost...
wondering what the rest two algorithms would be? .... since X13, X14, and X15 are out of option...
Blake 2B? LBRY? X11Gost? Pascal? or NeoScrypt? or Lyra2REv2?
I would prefer Blake 2B, which would be 6 month before Sia ASIC by Sia team...
not badWhat two algorithms you guys are perfer to see
?I'd like to see Blake2s and Lyra2v2! Would support multiple coins that way, and higher market cap coins too.
will see!
Actually, We have been collecting all feedbacks about algo from customers before a quite long period of time when we are not so busy, we recorded the algo that was mentioned on conversations, sorted them out, and emailed to our boss. So, now, I assume some of guys can see their "algo wishing list" come true.
Yes, and that was just 2 weeks before batch 1 shipped. So I seriously doubt they were doing last minute coding of the algos into chips at that stage. So this is why I question the comment earlier that these are ASIC's.
