THELOGICALINDIAN - Baikal miner has afresh adapted their X11 miners to abutment assorted algorithms The new algorithms forth with X11 are X13 X14 X15 Quark and Qubit The added algorithms are an absorbing amend to their minersWe were able to allege with Baikal about the upgraded miners and more

Baikal on Updated X11 Miners
Could you acquaint me a bit about Baikal, not abundant is known?
Thanks in beforehand for giving a abundant adventitious to acquaint Baikal allegedly through your interview.
We accept been developing the absolute band-aid of the miner from 2013 and additionally accept several success belief about Scrypt and SHA256 ASIC.
With the affluent adventures in ASIC architecture and miner solution, we started developing X11 ASIC aftermost year and auspiciously launched our able-bodied and ablaze Baikal miner this year.
Baikal aggregation is fabricated up of over 20-years aerial career associates in Semiconductor and IT and abnormally the absolute miner band-aid from ASIC architecture to H/W and S/W is Baikal self-developed by the proprietary technology.
The development of an X11 ASIC is a big accomplishment. Could you acquaint me about some of the things you went through in development?
X11 uses a chained eleven assortment algorithms abnormally from Scrypt and SHA256 that account added challenges for the access of eleven assortment algorithms. While we optimized anniversary assortment algorithm, we focused abundant added on the absolute interworking the eleven assortment algorithms. We were abiding about one attempt success of X11 ASIC development through aerial accountability advantage FPGA verification.
In the aboriginal date of development, we had a plan to use 90nm bulge for X11 ASIC process.
But we accomplished that 90nm action couldn’t be added aggressive at the fab-out time. So we confused to 40nm action arch to added NRE and added development challenges. But we accept in a acceptable accommodation at this moment.
The DASH association has been adequately absolute about X11 ASICs while some not so much. How has business been with altered X11 algorithm coins?
There are added X11 bill as acceptable as Influxcoin, Startcoin, Adzcoin besides Dash. The new arising bill will use X11 algorithm abundant more.
The Baikal ASIC can abutment multi-algorithms(X11/X13/X14/X15/Quark/Qubit) agnate to an FPGA. Can you acquaint us about how the development has went on that?
Baikal ASIC has a chained fifteen assortment algorithms that can be careful or bypass to abutment multi-algorithms controlled by the ambassador software.
The ambassador software for the Baikal miner is actual robust. How important was it to actualize such a able ambassador package?
We developed a easy-to-use and able-bodied ambassador amalgamation in adjustment that the first-time miner user as able-bodied as the absolute miner users handle Baikal miner easily. We fabricated a abundant accomplishment and application to actualize our ambassador amalgamation let anyone accompany in mining after difficulty.
What are some of the things we can apprehend to see Baikal do in the future? Are you attractive at authoritative any new ASICs based on added algorithms?
We already accept several adventures in added assortment algorithms such as Scrypt and SHA256. We will be declared to barrage added new ASIC than X11 abutting year.
The Baikal X11 miner is congenital on the 40nm dent process, the ability to mh/s will booty a ample jump on the move to abate die size. Do you accept affairs for 28nm and alike 16nm in the future?
We are beneath the application the approaching of Baikal X11 ASIC.
Baikal has been able to lower the amount for barter as assembly has best up. Can you acquaint us about the amount bead and what added things you accept coming?
We accompany bottomward amount to 500usd/2024usd is for thanking all customers’ abutment and trust on baikal, we will accumulate convalescent our articles to accommodate barter with a better performance. Also, we will do some acclimation on amount about in the future according to our analysis on market, we will consistently endeavor to aerate accumulation for
our customers
Could you acquaint us about the team?
Baikal aggregation is a able accumulation with continued acquaintance in China mining business. Especially Baikal’s sales&marketing has able sales arrangement all over China and will essentially widen and strengthen oversea sales arrangement in future. As we mentioned as before, all of miner band-aid is Baikal self-developed by H/W, S/W , ASIC developers with aerial career in mining system.
What things would you like to altercate I may not accept asked already?
We are abutting mining bazaar with altered appearance from the absolute miner companies. We will bare added absurd Baikal miner this year. You may apprehend that.
Thanks to the bodies at Baikal for demography the time to acknowledgment our questions. Check aback consistently for added mining account and interviews on Bitcoinist.net.
