i wantr to ask, if there is a way to mine two coins simultaneously with a-900 giant, i want to divide the hash in two coin, i see there are two thread that cna mine, it should be possible in theory

If the software miner build on the Baikal allows you to enable/select specific ASIC boards, then yes, you should be able to run 2 instances of the mining software (manually) and choose what pool/coin to mine with each.  Much like Claymore, EWBF, etc allow you to choose to enable specific GPU's.   I believe the A900 has 2 x 450Mh boards.

Afaik this should be possible through sgminer itself and loadbalance strategies, though i have not tested this

you mean the sgminer option i can see on the web gui?

yes, i know from someone how tried to achieve this but didnt get it working though

sgminer supports this via https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/blob/master/doc/configuration.md#load-balance

it might work with the latest 5.X sgminer included in 3.0 images, you might as well need to play around with the shell to get it working
