I have a couple of the 'mini' miners and ran into the same problem you did. The fix for me was to replace the MicroSD chip in the OrangePi. To do this I had to download the OrangePi flash utility from Baikal's website, along with the flash image itself. "OrangePI-PC_8G_V2.2_1021.img" was a bit under 8 GB in size, just FYI. I had to invest in a two-pack of SanDisk 8GB SDHC cards (they were cheap, so why not get two?) and after flashing the card with my laptop, I powered down the miner and replaced their card with mine. It's a bit tricky, so I used tweezers to make sure the chip seated properly. After powering everything back up, the miner worked fine, although I did have to reconfigure all of the pool information.
The newest orange pi version is V3.3 now. find from here: https://github.com/baikalminer/multi-algo-miner/tree/master/orangepi
Same issue happened with my mini miner two months ago. Blue LED was not becoming solid. I discussed with Baikalminer on Skype and reinstall image in microSD card after formatting it. And problem get solved. As per my knowledge this problem happens in old Baikal miners because of probably they used low grade SD cards in old designs. In cubes no such report found yet. Heating may also be the reason for SD card corruption in old designs. Newer designs are generating less heat. Sent from my Lenovo A7020a48 using Tapatalk
Seems like $55 a month. ROI is ~7 months https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/mineshop/baikal-mini-150mhs-dash-miner/
What would be a fair price for a used one of these? With all the new miners coming out I don't want to overpay but I'm finally seeing these for sale on Ebay again and I've been wanting to get my hands on one just wondering if it's too late and I should go for one of the newer ones coming out?
Be extra careful on buying from second hand dealers. Especially if they're outside from the crypto community and / or don't accept escrow. There have been tons of users here in the forums who have been scammed by sellers in eBay, AliBaba, AliExpress, even Amazon users. That being said, I think paying 50-75% the price of a new one is fair. But the market will figure that out for itself. Just take the price of what people are selling used ones for as a reference and work with that.
I have purchased a brand new Baikal Giant X10 after setting up the pool with nicehash it is now showing up down... Miner: 111 Connection Refused... Need some advise... And I need to get my ROI soon.
Have you tried re-imaging your SD card? See PDF below. It's for the Mini, but all baikal have similar processes. Some screenshots from your error would be beneficial, as well.
All good now I was only at panic haha... The main problem is Nicehash looks like the Baikal Miner is not responsive with their pool. They should fix it. Currently mining at Suprnova.cc
