Re: WARNING!!! Antminer E9+ eth asic EMAILS are SCAMS Do not buy
E9+ scam that I received was from webmaster@bitmain(s)tech.com... now is a "common" phishing scam (other than the S11 scam)... but with our real data again! 
It seems you are having extremely bad luck 
I feel sorry
More from my new Bitmain favorite Valerie
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you very much for your feedback which I've already escalated up to our management this morning and we really do appreciate your comments and information very much.
This means new products may quickly be challenged by products that are faster or more efficient. We trust our customers to follow developments and make sound purchase decisions based on their specific needs. There are still valid reasons for choosing the B3 ASIC miner over GPU mining.
You made some salient points in your email, but we cannot address them without getting into a discussion of our internal development processes.
We understand your position and would like to thank you again for your valuable input.

Very good, mate... B3 is really a shame right now!
And bytom wallet is the worst and heaviest wallet I ever used. Sometimes I think that "strange" things are happening in the background.When will our refunds come through for spending $2000 on these $850 miners!!!!
But isn't $850 just a pre-order (50% of value) for the August batch? I think so
That's SO SO bad... in SO many levels!!!! It's unbelievable!!!!! 
The email I received was from Bitmain's official email!!!! It's very very easy to fall in this fraud (even for experienced miners)!!! I feel SO bad for the people who fell in that shit.............. 
The way it was done, Bitmain is guilty and must take the consequences for it. It's not fair that people suffer such astronomical damage as that. No doubt that Bitmain has responsibility for what happened...
How is this Bitmain's fault? I don't agree with everything they do but I've dealt with them extensively for a while and I have always been treated well by them. They are not the Villains people would like to portray them as. In the end we are all responsible for our decisions. Can't blame others. Life's not fair. Never was and never will be. This is a very difficult space to navigate in. It's new and there are no rules. We ALL have the ultimate responsibility to protect ourselves and others when we can, but in the end, WE are responsible. That's why I made this thread. To hopefully save a few people. Truth is, people get greedy and make bad decisions clouded by greed. On BOTH sides of the fence. Just be vigilant and don't lose your discipline. SCAMS are getting MORE and MORE sophisticated because there is a LOT of money at stake. Look at this ASICminer.com scam that is going on. I don't think that's even a real company. Yet they have videos and websites and idiots putting phony reviews on YouTube. The less people that fall for this shit the less these maggots will gain. Be careful and be VIGILANT.

No man, you didn't understand... how many times have you received an email from a BIG company (from their REAL servers), but was actually a fraud? If that were common and "acceptable", the email would have been extinguished a long time ago... The problem is not the email as vulnerable technology... many serious huge companies work every day with much more important data and money by email with their customers and partners. The problem is the lack of security on Bitmain servers! That's why Bitmain is guilty for that. If you had received an email from Nvidia's OFFICIAL email for example, with all your REAL data (including your address!!!) offering some kind of discount and you were fooled by it (again... coming from the OFFICIAL email with your REAL data)... the reason for this would have been purely a security breach of Nvidia and you can be sure that if you proved to have made the payment, they would take some action to reimburse you and everyone who was harmed. Any serious company would do that. If the email had been sent from another server, not from Bitmain's email server, then you would be right... But is NOT the case!
Yes... we agree on parts and I know that phishing emails happens all the time. But I've never seen anything like that... I never received a fraudulent email with the sender showing up as 'contact@paypal.com' or 'noreply@paypal.com'... is always 'contact@playpal.com', 'roreply@pay-pal.com' or something like that... AND what we can't ignore is that the email contained our confidential data which only Bitmain should know... which makes the situation even more serious and worrying. I recommend that everyone at least active the 2-factor authenticator and change the password on Bitmain site asap.
Absolutely... I've changed my password several times. Change your password again even if you changed it less than 1 month ago and be aware that if you have a Bitmain account, your data can easily leak at any time.

We should do class action against bitmain, they scammed us, not telling us that poor rigs can beat up our ASICs.
My almost two year old laptop GTX 1070 is making 750 H/s at 115W ... for a week now.
3x 1060 3gb in a not so optimized rig make 1000+ H/s at 360W for less than half of what i paid for the Antminer B3 (1060 can achieve 500+ H/s)
I expected more from Bitmain...
Really?! That's insane
How long between when you received the refund email and the BCH showed up in your wallet? I got an email last night (June 13th) at 9pm, said to expect refund around June 12th but nothing so far.
Same here
Yeah, we received a few emails saying that they have sent the bitcoin cash, but we haven't received it yet. I'm going to wait a few more days before contacting Bitmain.
My BCH refund is pending now, looks good.
Ya... I got mine yesterday as well

How much we can make per day with B3 now a days, any one testing any update?
~10 BTM atm
How can I verify that my update went smoothly? I did the first upgrade with the Antminer-B3-2018-****.tar.gz and got a success message. Then I did the update_1000.tar.gz but it never finishes. Page just stays "Upload firmware image..." for over 10 minutes.
Anybody experience something similar?

I experienced the same thing when trying to update the firmware from a desktop that was on a wireless network. I switched to wired network and it worked. For 1 out of 4 B3s I own, I had to update the firmware couples time to get over 1k hash.
How do you got 4 B3s? The limit was just 1/order... do you used your family infos or something?
You can use different email addresses with same physical location as long as you can verify the account with it's own phone #(SMS). Bitmain doesn't care, or care to verify.
Yep... they could not prevent that, since it could be different people living in the same place.

I was stolen by this pool... and atm there are 15 miners connected to this fraud
So now that the auction has passed...
Any suggestions as to a good BCN pool?
Any suggestions as to a good BCN pool?
I'm using Fairhash, they opened some ASIC specific pools for the ETN fork. I liked them for ETN and they're pretty good for BCN so far. Getting about 300kh/s poolside for 310-15 on my panel. I'm good with that.
I need a payment ID and not every exchange provides that... what exchange are you using?
