Topic: BAIKAL - WHAT IS GOING ON? - page 17. (Read 27820 times)

MUE has gone up and down like a jojo for the past few weeks. Best stable is NH by a long shot for x11....

Thanks for the response.  I see MUE at the top of WhatToMine right now for the algos they include.  I have some PinIdea X11 miners but they only do X11.  I have in the past done some adz as well as goldblocks mining off and on but with those you have to accumulate a decent amount on the pool side, transfer it to the exchange, and then still get a good price.  WhatToMine might show adz as the most profitable at a given moment but considering the time it takes to turn it into BTC it isn't a sure thing that mining it now will mean more BTC later than mining something else now.  If I had to bet as to whether DASH was going to go up or adz was going to go up I would feel more comfortable betting on DASH, and that's without any comment as to the relative worth or utility of either of them.  Just that mining DASH seems like a safer bet in terms of getting a decent BTC payout than mining adz.  Especially more recently.

But I plan to get a couple of these Baikal units so the other algos are not something I have had to pay attention to before and I am just wondering if X11 is really the biggest factor or not when the other algos are also available.  Given the spread I see right now on WhatToMine I would probably do MUE with it but I am just curious as to how often it is that other coins are a better option than DASH for these Baikal miners.  Are you talking about MPH when you say "my multi-algo doesn't mine MUE"?  I see they don't have a coin using quark at all which is weird since they mention it in the post about the Baikal miner. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16019833

Dash is rarely the best coin to mine. Right now mine is on MUE. Lately MUE or nicehash have been the best. On a multi-algo pool it does ADZ a lot, but my multi-algo doesn't mine MUE.

For anyone with one of the previous miners, do you mine the multi algo or is it generally more profitable to just mine dash?

Congrats Baikal!  Exciting news!  I can hardly wait to see how you updated the Giant. :-)  Please keep us posted.  Hoping there will be another group buy here! 

you buyed the old one...
before, baikalminer mini was a 150Mhs...
this one is new, and is 300MHs...
andalso afted DASH bubble all wants this miner..
so they rise the price

You got the new miner 6 weeks ago? how?  
Baikal mini miner was 150Mhs
This new miner is 300Mhs

But now the price is $799. I got one 6 weeks ago for $300

not really worth it IMHO

No PSU or cables are provided.
Just use a ATX PSU with a 100W minimum rating.
Looks like they are using the 6-pin PCIe connectors which mate to the cords on the ATX supply.

all ok..
but what about PSU???
it is not included??
right?

New-Baikal miner Cube.

Next week open for sale.

more inform please check with www.baikalminer.com

See correction below..from baikal skype just now below...site revamp....it seems according to baikal skype person just now





Yeah the baikal skype folk say they will announce on the www site ..when available..but we seem to be SHOL if that is the case

oh well at 300mh and 120 watts and 800 bucks with a 5 month ROI or so on dash with dash dropping and difficulty shooting up...probably not a big deal.

Toy wise at worse in a year you would get your $$$ back...but by the time I got any at the prices they are increasing them too...it is not viable

for data hall anymore. Likely I will wait and get a used one..and justify it as a 'toy' factor (like the 150 bucks spent on a bitseed v2 bitcoin node because

i had no time and was too lazy to build it myself).....always a sucker for those whirly fan noises and blinking LCD's ..thus 'prudence' on purchasing miner

and asic equip when you have a 'home miner' addiction..is always best to keep in mind.....so will file this 'toy' away for later

Now Bit main L3's at 250mh and 400watts, on the other hand (that don't exist) hubba, hubba baby ..I'll fall of the wagon for them on my asic addiction in 2 seconds. IF I had an angle to get those!,,,alas ..unicorn ghosts at this point in time...can't even console myself with a frigging baby baikal miner

(so predictablle I am....) buy buy buy at some points.....other times run away, run away, run away...my only 2 speeds in regard to asic miner equipment ..I'm one sic puppy!

Where did they post that they had stock?

The site is slow, but I did get through.  It appears that they are out of inventory...again.   

Anyone manage to get a baikal 300 this last go around? (Today ..unless it is just a site revamp) Seems they are out yet again. Lag was bad. Probably sold out before the English page was redone. Also only thing on the page was 300mh baikal for 800 bucks and limited to 2 only


Annoying, having no notice

The page I tried today (new) anyway....assuming it is just NOT a page re-do only. Lag was bad enough I assumed they sold out ..but not sure..any info?

others?

baikal folk lurking on here?


later

Thank a lot, will try them, meanwhile tried the v3.0 img from their site, on miningpoolhub auto-switch is finally working, but can not connect to nicehash eu servers, usa working well, weird, anybody experienced something like that?

be careful see the posts above www.baikalsminers.com is a SCAM (note the s in baikal s miner.com) also of the 9 baikalminers on skype 8 are fake!

you want to contact www.baikalminer.com ...anytime I contact them on skype or email they just tell me no idea when/if another batch and to go away

but with x11 prices dumping may happen

worked out for me missing the baikalminer's past group buy thou....got bitmain L3's instead...

(dumb and lucky my motto on how to go thru the crypto universe...I'm like a baby ..crawling down the freewary unharmed around the wrecks)  

Last week I finally got contact with Baikal via a Chinese chat. They are now on some Chinese holiday until April 5th. Anyway, they officially are sold out of A900's but will dispatch group orders of 35, possibly 30. A bit too rich for me but by the next day they said the batch was already taken anyway. They are bound to respond to an order of that size (or larger). If someone here is able to start a group-buy that's probably a way to go forward, I'm down for 5 of the units. PM me if you are able to administer a group-buy.

Yes, be aware of sites taking advantage of the rampage of ppl looking for Baikal miners.
You're all already aware of www.baikalsminer.com - stay away from there!
