Hi guys
Not sure where to post this maybe useful information.....
I did some test with my X10 and I find that the Giant-B and X10 are the same machine.
The only difference is of course the OS inside the SD card and the firmware inside the controller board (blue card with ST microcontroller)
So, what I did is install the Giant-B image on my X10 .... :-0
The miner start like normal. The interface show all correct and also the hash cards show the right frequency and right hash power.
At this point I try to connect my unit at a lby pool..... The pool accept the connection but the miner reject the data to decrypt.
Ask me some question if you want...
Ciao
I don't think you've uncovered anything that anyone doesn't know. While the controller board is the same (Orange Pi I believe?), from your report it also appears that the hash-boards themselves are different because the hash boards in your x10 do not have the capability to do lby... hence your rejections.
There are 3 parts inside the Bikal miner
1) OrangePi
2) Control Board
3) Hashing boards
When I try to mine lbry, the miner was up and running. Temperature of chips went UP and was generating 40GH/s
The rejection was from the pool not from the miner.
I think I did a screenshot, let me find it
I have no doubt that it's "mining". I have doubt that what is coming out is lbry hashes (my doubts are confirmed by your rejections). The issue is likely that the software is saying 'give me algorithm 1' to the hash boards (thinking algorithm 1 is lbry), but your hashboards aren't b+ boards, so 'algorithm 1' on them is something different. I'm not saying this is "proof", but I could certainly see how this situation would lead to what you are experiencing.
