=== WARNING TO USERS ===

Hijacking of SMOS rigs is happening again.

Here's what happened to me yesterday at night: SMOS suddenly started to mine XMR. The web monitoring page showed an error, but the rig was forking full speed. I could see it was mining XMR by opening console window or by checking the monitor which is attached to the rig.

There was no change under Rig Groups configuration: the rig mined monero although my SMOS config for mining ethereum was active. Therefore I suspect the attacker didn't use frontend (like by compromising my credentials) to gain access.

The same problem occured to me last week or so when we all got the notification from the dev that we should asap add to the miner config. I did that and thought I was being safe, but apparently I am not.

I checked my router and am not forwarding any ports to outside world.

Any idea what else I could do to protect the rig from being hijacked?

Thank you and all the best to all of you honest miners!

Hi guys,

a n00b question sorry

I have bought my first miner (avalon 741) and started mining on kano pool on 22. December.

However - after 5 days of mining at constant 7.5 Th/s I only received 2 small awards:

23/Dec amount 0.00019134 BTC
25/Dec amount 0.00064641 BTC

according to profitability calculator my miner should generate around 19 USD/day and after 5 days I'm nowhere close to this amount?

what am I doing wrong? my reported hashing rate and internet connection are both stable

thanks for any help!
