If someone could figure out how to reprogram the FPGA's in the Baikal Giant B to mine other algorithms, this would be huge. To be fair, the person could sell their firmware for a good price to other Giant-B owners. This device is a monster in disguise for an expert FPGA programmer.

if he will find out/reprogram firmware - why he should sell it?
he'd buy more baikals and mine himself on new algos... lol

It's a good point -- so has anyone heard of an FPGA specialist doing solo mining? Such a person could make thousands of dollars per day. I used to program FPGA's in the early 2000's... however it is very complicated and time consuming, way harder than writing normal software.

Pictures of the two newest Baikal miners (ie. Giant X10 and the Giant B) seem to be relatively the same.

Is there anything preventing using the IMG file (provided by the Baikal support page) and having a 'working GiantX10 or Giant B miner with just a IMG file swap?

If not, what is different about them?

Will damage occur to the device is this is attempted?

The following are the fraud websites that are conducting fraudulent activities and should be avoided under all circumstances:
