Re: Antminer R4 - dead hash board? Shitty design, read before you send it back

7 out of 20 are defective with all kinds of issues. Just figured out that one has bad controller. Bitmain will send me a replacement.
I am trying to try your approach for issues like one hard board was shown. I wonder whether your approach works for bad ASICs? Thanks!

Sorry if my explanation is too complicated.

1) turn off the miner
2) unplug working board
3) start miner until it hashes.
4) if you are lucky, it will recover bad board
5) turn off miner
6) plug good board back
7) start miner until it hashes.
Cool if you are lucky, you have both working boards
9) if you have bad luck, try it again. You can also try start "single-board-test" program via Putty several times.

NEVER stop or apply changes before miner start hashing. It killed my board, but I recovered it by previous steps.

Guys, please play nice. No reason to hurt or attack each other over a forum.

(I don't think this counts as a "post" that I'm not allowed to post for 48hrs).

Again, I don't want to respond so please refer to a previous post. mBit is a scam quasi-licensed online "casino" - they're not Apple, Google, or Megaupload, as I'd mentioned in a prior post.

I said I wouldn't reply, but that was a typo on my part. It should read "u accidentally linked your bonus account to mine".

Let's just face it, I was going to simply take my deposit back, but you NEGATED on our agreement for NO REASON. That means you do NOT keep your word, and are NOT trustable. I will be posting actual emails and screenshots here in 48hrs.

Yes, of course, my friend did not want to use a REAL ID to upload to a sketch site. Anybody can understand that.

Go ahead and provide other evidence. The "u" key is right next to the "i" key - so you're grabbing me over a typo? I type fast. And were you on my webcam monitoring whom was playing off the computer? If so I think that's a severe breach of privacy.




Besides, please respond to this in your terms and conditions as stated earlier:

Got something! This directly from their terms and conditions: 3.1.2. You are allowed to have only one Member Account. If you attempt to open more than one Member Account, all betting accounts you try to open may be blocked or closed and any bets may be voided. Depending on the severity of the case mBitcasino holds the right to withhold or take any funds deposited to pay for damages and/or the prevention of future misconduct.

It says YOU are only allowed to hold one account. Most casinos say each HOUSEHOLD is allowed one account. Because they run an IP scan, all users using your wifi are flagged as multiple accounts, which I am assuming is not the case since you live in a university. Read the rest of their T&C involving multiple accounts: 3.1. Registration and opening of your member account:

3.1.1. In order for you to be able to place bets using any of the Websites, you must first register personally with us and open an account (“Member Account”).

3.1.2. You are allowed to have only one Member Account. If you attempt to open more than one Member Account, all betting accounts you try to open may be blocked or closed and any bets may be voided. Depending on the severity of the case mBitcasino holds the right to withhold or take any funds deposited to pay for damages and/or the prevention of future misconduct.

3.1.3. You must enter all mandatory information requested into your registration form, including a valid e-mail address; if you do not enter a valid email address, we will be unable to help you recover any “forgotten passwords”. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that the information you provide is true, complete and correct. You are hereby notified that, in our discretion, we have the right to carry out KYC verification procedures and that your Member Account may be blocked for access or closed if you are found to supply false or misleading information.

3.1.4. If you notice that you have more than one registered Member Account you must notify us immediately. Failure to do so may lead to your Member account being blocked for access.

3.1.5. As part of the registration process, you will have to choose a username and password for your login into the Website(s). It is your sole and exclusive responsibility to ensure that your login details are kept securely. You must not disclose your login details to anyone. We are not responsible for any abuse or misuse of your Member Account by third parties due to your disclosure, whether intentional or accidental, whether active or passive, of your login details to any third party.

3.1.6. mBit Casino reserves the right to refuse or close a Member Account at its sole discretion, but any contractual obligations already made by mBit Casino shall be honored accordingly.

3.1.7 mBit Casino reserves the right to declare a wager void, partially or in full, if mBit Casino, at its own discretion, deems it obvious that there was an error, mistake, misprint or technical error on the pay-table, odds or software.

No where does it say that multiple accounts PER HOUSEHOLD is not allowed. They do not have a leg to stand on! Simply ask to speak to a higher up (maybe even the owner, $3.5k is not a small amount), and tell them what I just proved here. Point out if they "pay out 100's of BTC per day" as the mBit Casino rep claimed, then they have nothing to gain and everything to lose by scamming you. Offer to lock and delete this thread, withdraw all complaints, and let bygones be bygones AFTER they pay you.


I will keep my word and refrain from any other conversation UNLESS mBIT responds publicly and/or attacks me, in which case I will respond appropriately.


And besides, let's assume (hypothetically) you figured the accounts were linked - WHY DID YOU LET ME DEPOSIT 1.8BTC IN AND THEN KEEP IT?! WHY DID YOU NOT SIMPLY NOTIFY ME AND SHUT DOWN THE ACCOUNT OR WARN ME TO NOT DEPOSIT??! YOU BASICALLY STOLE MY JACKPOT AND, ADDING INSULT TO INJURY, STOLE MY 1.7BTC DEPOSIT!!

Final update until 2/22/17 - I have been instructed via PM to refrain from any additional information or posts for 48hrs as of 1:46PST 2/20/17 - I will also be away on business during that time. Feel free to keep posting, I just won't be for 48hrs.

Terms and Conditions of Use of Services of mBit Casino

1. General

1.1. These terms and conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) apply to the usage of games provided through www.mbitcasino.com as well as other URLs provided or licensed by SoftSwiss LTD (“the Websites”), as may be specified from time to time.
You can not have a legally binding agreement with a domain! Legally binding agreements are only possible between natural or legal persons. They must state the operator Direx N.V. in this "terms and conditions", to be juridical valid.

I believe you're getting confused...

1) The Domain idea came out AFTER they negated a partial settlement - this is a means of protest and warning others. There is no legally binding agreement with ICANN or whatever host I used to register.
2) Yes, I've contacted their regulatory agency... please read the updated 1st post.

Well if they choose to let go of the "trademark" - that's their choice. However, they'd have to restart from scratch, including reputation (which may not be a bad thing at this point).

Squatting domains only really applies to sites like megaupload that can be seized by federal agencies, or if you're a large coorporation like apple or google. Not a scam btc online casino.

And of course I've contacted their regulatory agency.

Management does have the right to close account since having more accounts on a same ip is really prohibited but as you said that you are just testing out hashes and didnt commit any violation with your friend like abusing bonuses or other stuffs then you cant do anything about it but if you are doing nothing then chances of getting that money is high.
Based on what is having more accounts on a same ip prohibited?

Their arbitrary terms and conditions. But please keep off-topic replies and read previous posts before posting.

Note again, that in this case, it was registered on a large (5000+) university IP.

I have a question. How many people mistype the name that grossly, and are those domains really worth 65,000 dollars? I think you might be a little to over ambitious. It would be better if you ask for the cost of those domains, your 3.5 BTC, and a fee for the inconvenience. Maybe a lump sum payment of 10 BTC? 65 seems like a little too much.

I didn't make the full list (especially the good ones, SEO optimized) public yet, for obvious reasons. And yes, domains are internet real estate, they are worth way more than you might think.

You're also misreading some intent - all 65+ are now pointed towards this thread. So 1 quick google search (w/ SEO) or 1 misspelling or redirect leads directly to this thread which will turn away FUTURE gamblers from mBitCasino.

Also, lastly, it's standard for UK to use .com and .co.uk (more so the latter) within the UK. Several EU countries are registered, many of which are their core clientele.

Thanks haha - but they're not in charge; just some outsourced people getting paid $7 an hour. Email: admin@mbitcasino.com - if you want any results.

But honestly, at this point, it's about the ICANN domains I just registered. All 65+ of them. 65BTC seems a bargain, no?

To the response from mbitcasino's marketing manager or whatever he claims he is! Roll Eyes
What would it matter if it was put into the public eye? Roll Eyes
Wouldn't it be worst if you didn't pay him out and now have this scam accusation against you who are located in UK and your casino?

You make your bed and now you must lie it in. Even if you did just shit it in. Tongue

Well put. Your move, Philip.

Okay - AT THE RISK OF MY ACCOUNT (Bitcointalk) - I will do a PSA (Public Service Announcement) and warn mBitCasino in public what I had just sent them over email:


-- Actual Email Sent 5 min ago:

Well then in that case, you should be aware that I have registered 65+ domains under "mbitcasino" under ICANN as of last night, including:

mbitcasino.co
mbitcasino.co.uk
mbitcacino.ch
mbitcasino.biz
mbitcasino.mobi
mbitcasino.us
mbîtcasino.com (and variants)
mbïcasino.com (and variants)

I will offer you the courtesy of purchasing these (now parked, but I will redirect mbitcasino.co to a site and you can see for yourself) list of 65 domains for a straight up fee of 65 BTC. If you choose not to, I am at liberty to do whatever I wish with these domains as I am the owner now.

SEO will be optimized on all these domains.

I think I just "upped the ante".

65BTC, and I will not execute this series of redirects to other casinos, warnings about your site/active marketing against your scam site, etc; note that SEO will be optimized by agencies I will pay.

I understand this may be "unethical" in some minds, straightup pwn'd in others, and is likely to have mixed reactions. However, I'm not at much of a loss here. These scammers need to be exposed, whatever it takes. That Philip Aaker is their *Marketing* Manager only helps me. These domains will remain parked for 24hrs as a courtesy to them.

And sorry I didn't have time yet to read though all the posts/messages that came up overnight. I'll get to y'all soon (and thanks for the help)! And yes, the 10% reward of 3.5BTC could potentially be extended to 10% of 65BTC, as per above. So keep contributing guys (and not just on this thread)!

Okay so a lot of threads overnight, and this email I got just now:

They were offering a settlement of at least my (significant) deposit until I just got this:

Hi there,

It has become clear to what extent your complaint has been put in the public eye, which is why we will revert back to our terms and conditions rather than extend any courtesy on our behalf.

Thank you for your understanding.




That said, I intend to go public and more public with a certain plan I am about to disclose to mBit (they will not be happy) in light of this news. I will follow up with any 3rd parties that can possibly intervene.

I will let everybody know what it is that I did as soon as I feel it is the right time.

In the meantime, STAY AWAY FROM MBITCASINO.

Okay so for an update - the 350mBTC I'm offering would likely be split (at this point; a few useful PM's and posts - thanks guys!) between a few users, and I'll assign relative percentages due to how much each user contributed to, hopefully, an eventual solution.

What is the point of giving this bonus? Unless you have any escrow that bonus may be there will be many useful guide on what you really need to do. Just saying without giving any proof will not be good thing. You should create some scam accusation if you have a solid proof of them scam your money away. DT member will give red trust if it is true

Check my thread with ETH/ZEC mining - I tipped out 0.04BTC to someone (now a friend) I met on here and he confirmed that I did send it.

And read up two messages - these are experienced members that have helped me a lot. And for that I owe them, and hope they will give me "trust" and confirm that I did pay out for their time and help.

There is no proof that you are paying (now your friend), it can be you yourselves too. Anyway it does not matter you are going to pay or not since this is not about tipping-trusting thing here. You should open scam accusation if they does not pay out and have all proof because afaik they always have this delayed on their withdrawal because of need some time to check it over

You're right, it's hard to prove on either side. But seizing a jackpot, much more, the entire balance/account, is completely unethical, even by online gambling standards.

How do I open a spam accusation? They have little to no evidence, and certainly none credible.

Yeah... we *may* have reached some sort of agreement, which I shouldn't disclose publicly too much, but they have yet to pay me out...
Taking into consideration what they've written about multiple accounts, I guess they're not planning to pay you. I don't know who's right and who's wrong here. Good luck to you and don't let roommates gamble from your computers again. Multiple-accounts are restricted in casinos as well as on bitcointalk. I'm sorry for such a big loss. Perhaps they'll pay you some part of money as a compensation but I'm not even sure about that. Good luck and take care.

I have an insider working on it - he has some connections and I have some ideas also; They did promise to pay me on certain conditions (I'd have to retract all formal complaints), etc., but it'd only be my deposit, which was significant in itself. But I'm not retracting any complaints UNTIL they pay me as I do not trust these people at all.

To be honest, I can't disclose (yet), but I have an amazing idea... If/when I do post it and execute it, it's probably going to received mixed attention... it's already in the works... whether or not I decide to deploy it is contingent on how much mBit cares about their revenue and/or marketing, and/or if they pay up.

Good advice. Unfortunately for me it was a bit too late... I am not affiliated with vegascasino.io but have had good experience with them (I've quit gambling after this)... they even comp'd me a free iPhone 7 (after a LOT of wagering)... they also allowed me to cash out 6BTC+ no questions asked instant confirmations...

I'm not sure - but at least you tried and I think it may have gotten some response? Hard to tell right now - probably in a different EU time zone idk...

In any case, I have a great plan. This is going to be epic. Not going to post publicly yet, or probably not ever, but this is genius.


And ^2 posts above, I think you're forgetting that even *IF* I had done that intentionally (which is NOT true), they were still willing to accept my deposits of 1BTC+ but waited for my account to diminish (and hopefully in their mind lose it all and re-deposit); it was only when I struck a jackpot when they decided to seize the entire balance (couldn't they have shut down the account BEFORE I deposited?!)
