This is not a ransom but your lack of time reading the terms before you use the services. You should check their newsletter regularly if you didn’t support KYC requirements since any exchange services has the tendency to requires. Your funds is already subjected to their terms the moment you send it to them. Their ToS is publicly available for you to review it.

I will believe that they scam you if the KYC requirements is not stated in their terms and conditions before you made your deposit. 1.5XMR is already significant amount.

Absolutely a ransom when not returning the XMR back to the sender's address if KYC is not opted for.  Plus, KYC should be verified BEFORE a transaction is initiated, not after.  Definitely a scam.

Thanks for the update.  I think for now on I'll just stick to an exchange.  There still are a few that don't require KYC.  The Changelly KYC ransom just caught me completely off guard as I've used them a number of times in the past. 

Just wanted to state that I have been a long time exchanger on Changelly but as of today I can no more.  First, they do require KYC but it isn?t obvious, and for those of us who have used Changelly wouldn?t suspect it any differently.  I decided to exchange 1.4 XMR -> BTC but then my exchange was placed on hold until KYC was provided.

I refused, and instead of returning the XMR (minus transaction fees of course), Changelly is holding it ransom for my personal information.  They will not release it.  By not doing so is nothing less than theft.  They have no legal basis to hold onto it as I have not committed a crime.  They do not have to execute the exchange to BTC without KYC but they do have an obligation to return the XMR back to sender if they require and the sender refuses.  As for demanding my KYC info in order to just return the XMR to sender is ludicrous.  Why would I trust a company that holds my property as ransom with my sensitive and personal information?!?  Incredibly unprofessional.

Other exchanges like ChangeHero and ChangeNow do state that they also now require KYC but if refused then they will return the coin to the sender?s address.  Other big name exchanges require KYC before any transaction can occur. 

I?m putting this out there because apparently there are a number of others with the same issue:

Changelly does NOT warn of KYC until after transaction is initiated.  BUYER BEWARE.

Rather concerned!  Ever since 8/19 the XMR mining has been offline and I have coins stuck "on exchange" where I can't get them converted to BTC or ETH nor have them kicked back to my "Normal Wallet" so that I can withdraw them directly.

0.03220925ETH : Normal Wallet preference but BTC is fine.
1.16846388ETC : BTC or ETH auto exchange is preference but Normal Wallet is fine.
1.03357070XMR : BTC or ETH auto exchange is preference but Normal Wallet is fine.

Not so sure what led to the privacy coin scare within MPH but it'd be nice if we can at least see some movement. 

I'm still mining other coins on there but am rather concerned over the auto exchange feature.  PLEASE HELP.

Ever since 8/13 I have not been able to mine XMR on Mining Pool Hub.  Not sure what changed but I'm missing something.  Please assist.

Does/will Phoenix Miner support Etchash come the December ETC Fork to Thanos?

Wow, regardless of what others are saying about W7 being too old...well it is but that's besides the point.  Some of us have legit reasons as to why some of our systems are still W7, so relax.

Just to confirm though that even though I am forced to use W7 on one of my systems that I have been able to successfully hash at a pretty decent speed.

8GB 580
XHV @850H/s vs. 200H/s with the latest Adrenaline drivers
RVN @11.5MH/s vs. 9MH/s with the latest Adrenaline drivers

I'm still working on Phoenix with W7 to test my ETH speeds but for now I'm content with XHV.

I downloaded robinh00d's 7z files and extracted them which were actually version 22.19.659.1 drivers and the atikmdag-patcher as he described. 

I then downloaded the AMD-Compute-Switcher and walla!

This has taken me a few weeks to figure this out and I know that W10 would have been far easier but that simply is not an option for this instance. 

Now my mission is to figure out fan control as 68 degrees with only 34% fan speed is not good.  OverdriveNTool does not seem to work in W7 regardless of what version I attempt with whatever AMD driver versions.  However so far this is a step in the right direction.  Any suggestions on GPU fan control within W7 would be welcome.

We just upgraded and are having some functionality issues.  We are offline and wondering if our previous version 7.5.0 is available to re-download and get us back up while we work through this?  Thank you.

Ugh.  Been a TUBE/CCX miner and trying to get ETH to be efficient.  I got 4x V64 but all I get is 36MHs each where I've read it is possible to get 50MHs+.  

https://git.mmpos.eu/windows/teamredminer/blob/master/ETHASH_GENERAL_TUNING.txt

Upon finding the AMD Memory Tweak XL, I use:

--CL 20 --RAS 30 --RCDRD 14 --RCDWR 12 --RC 44 --RP 14 --RRDS 3
--RRDL 6 --RTP 5 --FAW 12 --CWL 8 --WTRS 4 --WTRL 9 --WR 14
--REF 17000 --RFC 249

I get a crash.  I've tried settings individually, no change.

P7 1075 / 850 as suggested or 1408 / 925 shows no change.

P3 1107 / 850 as suggested crashes whereas 945 / 1050 appears to be fine but stuck at 36MHs.

Embarrassingly, my Red Dragon V56s get 39MHs easily without any but P3/P7 and at -50%!

My question is how do I get my V64s tweaked correctly?  

Just wanted to say that 0.9.3 for Windows has been awesome!  Ever since I upgraded I have not had to babysit the rigs for crashing GPUs.  Really looking forward to the hashing increases of 0.9.4! 

Woot, woot!  Talk customer service!  Looking forward my friend!

I read the "lolMiner_manual.pdf" included in the zip but I'm not seeing any details on the Watchdog Script.  I presume this is just a simple bat command file?  I'd prefer to simply restart ODT + lolminer if a GPU fails or if needed the entire rig.  Thank you!

I switched my V64s back to stock 1630/1200/945/1100 and so far so good this morning.  It appears the P3 is more important than the P7.  

I tried GKumaran's and my V64s immediately crashed.  Just wondering if anyone else had any numbers that may help in avoiding the reinvention of the wheel.

However with lolminer, that Watchdog reboot.bat file is a really good idea and I'd like to know what I'm doing wrong in getting that to work as explained above.  

UPDATE:
Well it appears even the stock values have had issues as I again received this error:

"Stuck device detected, invoking emergency script." 

Then the next line down says:
'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I can live with it if there is a way lolminer can auto restart the affected GPU or even simply restarts the rig. 

I'm using Windows and Vega 56/64 rigs with the latest drivers running lolminer 0.9.2 however on either of my rigs I will randomly get a GPU that says "Stuck device detected, invoking emergency script."  

Then the next line down says:
'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I did find a reboot.bat file and I tried adding a line:
shutdown.exe /r /t 10

Same response as above.  Is there somewhere that I need to enable this rather handy watchdog feature, or is there certain syntax that needs to be used?

As for the error, I'm wondering if my P3/P7 are off.  I'm having a heck of a time with adjusting as these cards can absorb electricity at stock, wow.  I did quite well with tweaking for XMR but G31 appears to be different.  

V56 x8 (onsite)
P7 = 1350 / 890
P3 = 950 / 800
Power Target = -50%
Result: 0.7g/s per GPU

V64 x4 (offsite)
P7 = 1408 / 925
P3 = 945 / 1000
Power Target = 10%
Result: 1g/s per GPU

Any assistance and knowledge would be appreciated, thank you.
