Ok so it turns out my PI was not booting up….no idea why.
Here’s what I did that resolved the issue. I powered off Connected the miner to my pc via usb Moved the jumper from L to H and powered on The lights went like Christmas lights but the pc did not detect the miner.
I then powered off and reset the jumper ….powered on …working?
I dont know what or why but it worked so I just wanted to post an update in case it helps anyone else

To set up static IP on your cube do the following.
SSH into the miner with user/pass: baikal/baikal
The command below opens a text editor for the file you want to modify: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
Add some lines like what I have in the code box below (modified accordingly for your network). I added these below the line that starts with “source-directory” and above the lines that all start with the # symbol.
auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 dns-nameservers 8.8.4.4 8.8.8.8
Hit ctrl+x to exit the editor
It will ask you if you want to save, hit y to save
It will ask you for the file name but it will default to the one you are already editing so just hit the enter key to confirm the default
At this point you can run “sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces” again to confirm the file now contains your changes if you want, but if you did everything correctly you don’t need to. Restart the miner with the power switch and it will come up on the new static IP.
BTW, it seems likely that with the appropriate changes made in that file you could also enable and configure the wifi and use the miner wirelessly.

Hi guys / gals
I need some assistance.
I’ve just got my very 1st Baikal Mini Cube.
Powered it up …all seemed good. Set the pools to mine to my account. Boom Miner is down. I’ve tried the obvious turn it off and on ….no good I’ve tried pressing the reset button “Miner 111 connection refused” When it 1st powers on I see a red/blue/orange light At the moment the red light is on / the blue light is flashing / orange light is off.

I’m having the same issue you were having. I tried your fix. No change so far though.

So I purchased a SeaSonic 400W Fanless 80Plus Platinum PSU Version II to power this and I used the 12v PCie connector and I have an ATX bridge to enable to PSU seeing as I dont have a motherboard.
I get 1 second of power and then the PSU shuts down. I’m assuming its because I am only drawing on the 12v rail. Any way around it? The device functions when connected to the spare PCIe cable from my PC and has run over night fine.

I don’t understand what you mean. It’s connected to a D-Link DIR-860L router.

My cube works when i’m using home broadband connection but when i’m using a mobile LTE router is doesn’t (blue light flashing) I changed to DNS to 8.8.8.8 and it works after that.

Are you sure you jumpered the PSU correctly? I’ve jumpered a ton of different PSU’s with a wide range of wattages and never had one that had a problem so I don’t think it has to do with only using the 12v.

Ah I see what you mean. It’s a broadband connection, not a mobile network.

Yup, checked the pin layout and pins 16 and 17 are jumped.
I’m not sure if it is faulty not, will test today at work a little more. Managed to get a 2nd cube my friend ordered.
Edit: So PSU works, I plugged just a sata HDD in and it works fine. Once the Cube arrives i’ll see if the draw was too low. I’ll grab a little molex fan if required.

Ok, it started working, kind of. Won’t connect to any nicehash servers. But was able to connect to suprnova pool.
Now the issue is that I’m getting a lot of HW Errors, over 50%.
I contacted Baikal via Skype. Waiting for a response.
EDIT: Swapped out the power supply for a different one. HW Errors are now gone.
Still have the issue of not connect to any nicehash servers though.

Got mine working with the psu. The PSU would shut down after a second. I needed to have the miner on, then bridge the pins. As there was no draw on the PSU it was auto shutting down.
Also, is there any mathematical advantage to joining cubes together and letting one miner control them? If I point 2 cubes to the same P2Pool and use the same wallet address is that the same as 1 single 600MH/s miner?

I couldnt get to the the web interface at all and the miner was stuck at 70MH/s with lots of hardware errors
Reloaded the OS on the SD card, reconfigured teh miners and all is well so far.
edit: spoke to soon. Still down, buggy and got packet loss to the device when pinging. Will try a new SD card, have emailed Baikal.
Edit 2: Ok, so it was a network cable causing my issues.
