Re: BAIKAL - WHAT IS GOING ON?

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

The location of sgminer on the OrangePi is /opt/scripta/bin/sgminer. The .conf file, where you will need to test your load balancing settings, is at /opt/scripta/etc/miner.conf. These files are owned by the root user, so you'll need to sudo your text editor in order to save the file after changing it. Be careful with the sudo command if you've not got a ton of experience under your belt.

Have fun.
