Hi guys

Not sure where to post this maybe useful information.....

I did some test with my X10 and I find that the Giant-B and X10 are the same machine.

The only difference is of course the OS inside the SD card and the firmware inside the controller board (blue card with ST microcontroller)

So, what I did is install the Giant-B image on my X10 .... :-0

The miner start like normal. The interface show all correct and also the hash cards show the right frequency and right hash power.

At this point I try to connect my unit at a lby pool..... The pool accept the connection but the miner reject the data to decrypt.

Ask me some question if you want...


Ciao

I don't think you've uncovered anything that anyone doesn't know.  While the controller board is the same (Orange Pi I believe?), from your report it also appears that the hash-boards themselves are different because the hash boards in your x10 do not have the capability to do lby... hence your rejections.

when nist5 algo goes live , the device will cost 20k in ebay wait and see Wink
no because the profit will fall
It will spike the cost on ebay because ebay buyers are stupid.  They will look at what the calculator is telling them today, and dream about the possibilities with stars in their eyes. They'll see that paypal credit ad (6 months no payments!) looking them right in the face and figure it's a sure thing. 

Of course it's going up to $20k on ebay.  No, not because it's worth it.  If people were paying what they were 'worth' now, no one would be shelling out $6500 for one.

Any price updates for the Giant X10 or model B?

7000$ is ridiculous, I hope nobody buys at this price.. but probably some will 🤦‍♂️.
Yes, they were both cheaper. Today I received an answer:

Two types of sale.

1). Price at 6500usd/pc  -- Giant-B

     Delivery at End of Feb.

2). Price at 6500usd/pc --- Giant X10  

    Delivery at End of Feb。

Sale terms:

Payment : USD dollar only

Minimum order quantity: 6 units  (MOQ for each type)

Shipping will be DHL/UPS. Waybill could be provided once we sent the miner from email.

Would you help yourself check above info first:)

BesT Regards.

Baikal miner.


If they would take 50% off that price, it would be maybe interesting.


I would say double from presale would be good.

agree, miner should no cost more than 2.5 k usd. Because you also have to add to this price - shipping, psu, taxes.

Asked Baikal when/if the new algo's will come or if it is a marketing trick.

Even got 2 emails back:

"Hi
The new algorithm is still in debugging stage."

and

"Hi,

Our engineers are adjusting the new algorithm. Please be patient

best regards
baikal "


So, the waiting continues...... Wink

Hi all. Has anyone got a x10 CE certificate copy? Customs has stopped it and said that it will not be released and will be destroyed if I wont provide CE certificate.

My Baikal Giant-B is stuck at German customs authority ... and I fear that they will have to send it back to China as the devices miss the CE confirmity declarations.
Did you get your Baikal miner shipped to your place?   Did you get any help from Baikal?

i got my giant x10 without problems

you have to call them and ask what they need.

they need basically:
1. import instruction
2. a proof how much you paid for the miner (baikal put a invoice around 300$)
I don?t think these miners have a CE certificate. I was lucky: Mine got shipped via DHL Express right to my door (Germany).
Have you asked Baikal about a CE certificate? Without one it?ll be pretty difficult. I?m not sure if they are even allowed to let it pass without one.


On arrival, customs immediately opened the package for further review.
Land Niedersachen officials came today to check the device in more depth and rejected the import to Germany due to missing CE marks etc. (Didn't see the check-report which they will provide to DHL).
German customs told me that they won't accept any CE certificates for that device via e-mail etc. anymore as the device itself is missing the labels  Angry.

You should have them check the boards. The boards/ components themselves have the CE marking.


Really?  That's strange as German customs told me that they will check the device - especially the connections and components, etc.
Unfortunately, I didn't receive the final report of the rejected import to see what was the real issue - but it should arrive soon via mail.

Do you know if there are pictures on the www available?

Baikal themselves/himself were/are not really helpful when asking them for CE certificate for 3 ongoing days via Skype  Sad
But customs anyway told me that they would reject such a (faked) CE certificate.

German customs is simply being difficult, as it is probably an "unknown" device to them.
Baikal confirmed they have CE certification, as can be expected considering the CE markings on the components.
Images can be found on www, prefer not to post link here as it refers to a "scam" site. (tried to pm you a link, but it says you cannot accept pm's from newbies)

It does not help, if the components has CE-labels. If you build a device only from parts with CE-Label, the new build up device, needs to have its own CE-Label anyway. This means testing, declaraiton of conformity, technical documentation, and so on.
