Has anyone run a network sniffer on these things while they are running. There is a lot more network noise than the S1's made. I am not talking about share request/response, I am talking about calls to hosts and socket connection responses(causing extra beep sounds), kind of like a bot.
I have the gift of always thinking the worst of people. Would it be possible a % of the hash power is utilized/reserved for an internal process named "4bitmainpool"?
Maybe its some debug/diagnose thing they forgot to take out?
I first used Fiddler to sniff but setting up a Unix VM for better tools now.
Imagine, what if they could take 2-4% hash power from every S3 miner on-line.............

Bit unwise to make it capable of being hijacked if any old person can shell into the unit and play around, they'd be caught pretty quickly. More likely the traffic you're seeing could be from the ntp daemon.
