Re: Baikal Giant X10

I found something very interesting while poking around the x10 file structures.

I found these 2 lines:

Code:

poolAdd({url:'stratum+tcp://nist5.mine.zpool.ca:3833',pass:'x11=1,quark=1,qubit=1,groestl=1,nist5=1',priority:'6',algo:'nist5',extranonce:true});
poolAdd({url:'stratum+tcp://groestl.mine.zpool.ca:5333',pass:'x11=1,quark=1,qubit=1,groestl=1,nist5=1',priority:'5',algo:'groestl',extranonce:true});

So I am guessing either the 2 new algos are nist5 and groestl, or they originally had nist5 and groestl and decided to change the algos to skein and myr-groestl.

I also found this line:

Code:

sudo mv sgminer_300MHz_fix_NoHW /opt/scripta/bin/sgminer

So I am assuming they have their own custom sgminer with a fixed clock rate so there goes the overclocking dream.

Guess someone at Baikal didn't remove all their traces. Now I wonder how would we get nist5 and groestl back on there. LOL.

can you tell me where do you finde the poolAdd lines?

I am also interested in this. For what it's worth, I tried to manually add a 'groestl' pool to the pools config file. It got work from the pool, but all shares were being rejected.

I assume this is somewhere in the webroot. I believe poolAdd is a function in the php front-end.

i think it cant work
because they youe a modified sgminer with only the supported algos
