I had a very similar problem with connection refused after I deleted their default pools and added mine. I use suprnova and wasn't sure what port to use. Suprnova does not mention port 9995 for this but it does say 80 and 443. I tried 80 but it didn't work maybe because everything was already screwed up by then so I just left the 9995 alone after recycled power. I recycled The miner since it would always say starting and no pools were showing up. When I powered the unit off and on and everything that was initially there appeared again and the miner started up OK after the power recycle. I just changed the suprnova config to use my account and been fine ever since.

I remove the api-port, this is not solved the my problem.
Where can I download the Cube SD card image?

Did you remove the api-port and api-allow settings?  I imagine removing 127.0.0.1 might break things.  If all else fails, re-image your SD card and start over.

I got today my new Baikal Cube miner.
When I deleted the default pools and add my new pool settings the miner is not starting. I was clicking the save pools button. This is on Miner Down state.
When I try restart with cgminer soft reset button I got an "Miner:111 Connecton refused" error message.

The red led on the miner is on , the blue is blinking  and the green is off state.

How can I start the miner? Is possible an HW failure?

After working on this all morning, I'm afraid someone smarter than me (which is, like, 3/4th of the planet) will have to make a pass at it.  The drivers don't appear to be installed, and the Internet is packed full of people pulling their hair out trying to make the WiFi work on the Orange Pi Zero.  Since this is a "production" machine, I'm afraid to strip it down to it's nuts and bolts before I've made back my purchase investment.

Once I hit 100% ROI, I'll make a more invasive pass at it.

Cheers.

Hello folks,

Those of you reading this thread and running any model of Baikal ASIC miners – would you please be so kind to share your personal recommendations on what pool it's best to mine and what algo/coin. I'm waiting for my Cube to arrive and the best idea I've got so far is to sell its hash power with X11 on NiceHash. I'm sure there are better and more profitable solutions that that, though! Please share your view and tips.

Sincerely,
Oleg

So the sgminer instance is running as the root user, rather than the baikal user.  You said you already attached, but I'll list the instructions for anyone that would like to give it a try.

Windows users will need to use PuTTY, and I don't have it in front of me to remember the connection dialog, Google that bit.

For Mac OS X and linux users:


The password for the baikal account is 'baikal' lower case.  If this is the first time you've connected via SSH, you will likely have to hit "Y" to the prompt to save the key fingerprint.

Since sgminer is running as root, we'll need to use sudo to run all the remaining commands.  We'll start by using the 'screen' command to find our sgminer instance:


The screen command should show you a message similar to this:


Every instance of screen should start with a different number, followed by ".sgminer"  Mine started with 986 in the example above.  You'll need that information for the final step:


This command is telling the screen program to attach to the already running instance of sgminer.

One important note!  If you kill this instance of sgminer your machine will stop mining until you reboot the device.  To exit this screen and leave sgminer running, hit Ctrl-A followed by the D key.  It should clear the screen and look something like this:


Have fun!

mine is 34c but it is 50F outside in basement with windows open

again anyone want to walk me thru how to use putty to /ssh terminal into this beastie?

I forgot how (plug and play is my life)

thanks you can post here for all or we can hide my igrnorance via a pm

I was just wondering,

what's the ideal operating temperature for the cube?
what's the maximum that it can go before pulling in the plug?
i'm in the range of 42-43 degrees, what about you guys?

I'm going to be fiddling with it today, I'll put up instructions when and if I get it working.  It's running Ubuntu, so should be simple enough to configure.

I also noticed that this device runs 310 pretty consistently.  No complaints on my part!

The change to the Orange Zero does increase the load on the system significantly though.  It doesn't seem to affect the mining performance, but the minis consistently ran at 0.15 and the cubes are running at 4.0 load,  Hopefully we won't see any issues arising from the high load on the controller.  It does seems to take longer to load the web interface.

The cube, at least in my environment, also seems to run a few degrees hotter than my minis.  That anecdotal at best, but things to keep in mind.

That would be amazing to use it with wifi. They have different data cable than the a900 so cant link them, too much lan cable. Can you share the image if you succeed?

Solid 310 here also

I'm getting 309.6 mining on Suprnova.

Trying to /SSH into the baikal 300mh cube

I get into the unit fine and the directory...but have lost all memory on how to get mining screen to come up on
such stuff via /ssh and putty

embarasing ..I used to know


anyone want to show me how to make a batch file again so I can ssh into this baikal 300mh cube
via putty?

I have an old (no longer upgradeable to XP) laptop with linux on it ...by the cube so I can watch that in the basement ..chug away...

I used to know this stuff..been awhile

sheesh.....(gone plug and play too long)

repost it here for everyone ..I'm sure not the only one who wants to know this

later

edit: by the by..my cube is hitting 310.1mh solid....what are others getting?

Thanks, I did get it to refresh/work with a power cycle and now it is mining suprnova.

Try this:
URL: stratum+tcp://x11.usa.nicehash.com:3336
Algo: X11
User:
Pass: x
extranonce: checked
Priority: 0

Honestly it sounds like something is wrong with the miner but the above stuff should at least show if you can connect to a pool.  Just put your BTC address for the user name.

I can't get mine to work correctly, would someone mind posting their config info here? I setup and tried to use suprnova which I used for other coins pointing to port 9995 and it just keeps saying miner loading with no devices running and no pools loading. I then tried to use port 80 as mentioned on suprnova with the same problem.

I just received my unit this afternoon.  It's well built, as expected.

I did notice something interesting that's a change from the minis.  The controller is now an Orange Pi Zero, which has built-in wifi.  I'll crack open the image this evening and make a pass at getting the wifi configured.  It might be a good option for people with limited space or network cabling.

edit: the SD card is also way easier to access than previous builds.

Just use advanced IP Scanner. Works perfectly... no need to download any other program. I use this on all my baikal hardware.
