So where do we get the new figure that there will be 3 new algos for the X10? On the web site it just says new algos will be added for the X10. It doesn't say 3. So was this another tweet I missed or is there some other piece of info out there saying this? Last I saw they had 2 new algos coming on the web site, now it just says more algos coming.

It's 2, Keccak and Groestl. These use OTP FPGA chips so these algos have always been there but only used privately by Baikal. I'll bet anyone 1 LTC that I'm correct....

They will release them when they feel like it but they're a very greedy company and never think of the community. Worse customer service and warranty out of all of them.

X11 is technically 11 algorithms chained and they are: blake, bmw, groestl, jh, keccak, skein, luffa, cubehash, shavite, simd, and echo. So it seems likely that the miner could do any of those individually. I would have also thought it could do them each at the same speed as it can do X11 (10Gh/s) at a minimum, but that seems maybe not to be true since it only does skein at 5Gh/s. I believe you would win that 1 LTC bet if you had any takers.

it's not correct, if that the theory, wouldn't all D3 miner now running groestl? Huh

?

There's never been firmware released for the D3 to mine anything other than X11, and the D3's an ASIC (can't be reprogrammed like an FPGA for other algos) that should only be capable of mining X11. Only Baikal has made multi-algorithm miners with their X11 machines AFAIK as well- Pinidea also used FPGAs IIRC but nobody has ever released firmware for any of their devices to mine anything other than X11 either. I imagine the Pinidea machines wouldn't be of much use even if they could be flashed to mine another algorithm as they're extremely obsolete right now.
