He has nothing against the EBay since it was too late to even open any kind of a case against the seller.  He lost his $1200 and is blaming only himself for it.  I told him that it was stupid of him since he could have purchased like 8 perfectly miners instead but he just wanted spare parts because his line just doesn’t hold more than like 15 miners in total.

 But that’s not the point.  The point of this conversation is that we were discussing if he could somehow report or red flag this seller for selling hacked controllers to people, so that EBay would take some action against the seller and other will not fall for this trap.

I don’t know if it’s possible but I think he could try if he calls them and explains the situation, because I think the guy is still selling these trashed cards and contaminated controllers to other victims.

He should be able to alter or write a review since he made a purchase, I don't think eBay puts a limit on how long you have to write a review. And yeah probably calling and explaining to ebay that the device that was sent was infected with a virus and that other buyers might get scammed might do something. The odds of him getting a rep that has no idea what he is talking about are probably very high.

speaking of ebay... someone on the forums here pointed me to a listing on ebay that is using my actual photos from here to sell something. makes me think they dont have the item of they have to use my photos.

That’s weird why would they post something that they don’t have when the payment goes through PayPal and if they don’t send anything then they don’t get the payment.
If a claim takes awhile to happen or like in the other case the buyer doesn't check for a while, then the funds will clear PayPal and the seller gets the money. Yeah paypal will attempt to pull the money back when a claim is opened but the worst thing they can do is close the person's account / send it to collections.

eBay tried pulling this crap on  me with a bad buyer and wanting to refund more than what he should have been given. They pulled the funds back from paypal out of my bank account, my bank froze the transaction and reversed it and paypal sided with my bank, ebay was pissed and closed my account but then again they never were authorized to take anything out of my bank. Paypal didn't care because the claim had nothing to do with them other than they processed the payment. So if the seller doesn't have any funds in paypal and no bank / credit card on file or a bank that will side with their customer the seller will win.

In eBay there is a "Report Item" link down on the header with the Description and Shipping and payments tabs.  This can be used to report scams and other things even if you are not buying the item.


Thanks!   Wink

I do hope that your friend who bought the miners reported the issue with them to the seller and eBay (though the seller may have been who intentionally did the infection).

Actually he tried to get his money back because he bought 50 hashing cards and not a single one worked as well as 10 controllers out of which only like 2 units were working and the one that he gave me was the infected one.  And no it wasn’t my friend, if you’re wondering, he I clueless of these kind of things  and just has like 15 s9’s running.

But he wasn’t able to check the cards for like 3 months and when he finally did it was too late to ask EBay for any help.  $1200 thrown away!  He is still pissed and he wanted to do something to take this guy off the EBay.  

It’s some guy from Canada, he sells them by 10 units now before he was selling by 50.  You think EBay would really listen if he was to report this seller and actually do something?  I doubt it to tell you the truth.  

The sellers name is “mrinjenari”. Stay away from him!
Well he admitted it was his fault eBay did nothing. If you expect to order something let it sit for 3 months then think let me test this and expect the seller to honor a DOA unit months past the delivery date you are crazy.

Yes odds are the seller was trying to scam but it should have been tested the day it arrived.

Just so you know guys, I was able to repair all of the miners affected by the virus. Apparently it was a poisoned controller that I got from a friend which bought a bunch of them on the EBay from some guy that was selling bunch of them.  Thanks all for support!!!  Wink

Mine on Comrades!  Wink

Good job!  That had to be a PIA to deal with...

Hopefully we can discuss the block we find soon.  I am new here but 1430 hours seems like quite the dry spell.

if you look at the https://kano.is/index.php?k=blocks page - you will see our luck is a little higher than 100% for the past 5 but for any other count, we are under 100% and overall (like 2500 blocks) the pool is at 101% so that is pretty good.

that said, I do hope it is soon lol

CLEAN non GPL infringing code made in Rust lang
Thanks a lot for the information you provided!  I really appreciate it!  And yes I’ve had one of the worst days in BTC mining this morning when I woke up I found out that the hacker was able to ruin 14 more S9’s!!!!!  14 machines gone in a minute!  Apparently he works somewhere in China in the day time when it is night here and I wake up to a surprise!  Today’s surprise was SHOCKING!

I have already contacted Bitmain for an advice on what to do and if there is a way that I can repair the controllers by uploading a newer firmware because these machines were from 2017-2018.  So I will be waiting for their reply as soon as they start their workday.

At first he hacked 3 so I just disconnected the router connected to my modem thinking that it was causing the problem, since the SSID wasn’t hidden unlike my modem SSID.  But when I realized that 14 more are mining for him this morning I started to dig in the log of the modem itself and found about 22 of these Dos Smurf attacks!!! From February second to today’s morning!

2020-02-04 09:00:49 [Error][Alarm-Log] AlarmID:303500,AlarmLevel:Error,DoS attack. Type: smurf. Source IP address: 192.168.1.102. Destination IP address: 192.168.1.255. Source MAC address:


So I contacted the the ISP provider and they confirmed me that I was hacked by WiFi although I’m not sure how since the SSID was hidden.  Remotely they have reset everything and I’ve changed all of the passwords.  Even on the miners themselves!  But I did that yesterday and apparently that didn’t help.  Also the modem  had a specific check box for preventing these Dos smurf attacks but apparently that didn’t work.

I’m closely monitoring the network tonight to see if there will be any more attacks on my modem, because now I just have a few miners running  Embarrassed

Maybe someone had clicked a wrong link from one of the devices who knows.

And I did noticed that the only ones that he wasn’t able to hack (so far) are the last ones that I got so they must have had a newer firmware protecting them from being hacked like that.

All my hope is on Bitmain now and that they answer soon and maybe be able to find a solution for me.  Start them with a preloaded firmware on a sd card or just try to upload it through my network on them, I really don’t know but I am afraid to even turn the power on the ones that have been compromised now, thinking that if it was hacked then maybe he can hack my whole new reseted network again and I will loose the rest of the miners?  Do you think it is safe to connect one of them to my fresh network or I shouldn’t even try?  Or what do you think?

If the Bitmain won’t be able to help me with a firmware upgrade then I really don’t care what I have to load on a Sd card and where it will mine as long as they just don’t sit around like furniture.  Now 17-18 have been ruined!  Undecided Cry Cry Cry Cry

Please let me know your thoughts guys I’d really appreciate if someone with the knowledge be able to give an advice  Undecided  Cry Cry Cry Cry

Oh i see they got in using your wifi. I'm sorry to tell you this, maybe its not common knowledge? hiding the SSID (not broadcasting its name), or using the wifi's mac address whitelist doesn't stop people from getting in. Only a good password and WPA2 (now WPA3) helps. I for example use a random generated 63 char (the max wpa2 takes) and make a qrcode of that.

Well i guess people normally never try the security tools involved but let me tell you if your wifi is ON it can be picked up by anything in range (and range can be improved with directional antennas). Never use simple passwords anywhere, go ahead and try a password manager (that is, a Free and Open Source program such as KeePassXC to manage your passwords, NOT any sort of online site or service).

Bitmain should point you to their SD recovery procedure and if that doesn't work you would have to purchase controllers or switch pools (if the bOS thing worked, sometimes the controller also refuses to boot from SD (jumper jp4).

I would guess you never changed your SSH password on these (2017/18) and they used the default (root or admin).

Definitely isolate your miners from your family network.

@Nomadgroup maybe we should take this converstation to the discord chat
Ja or at least continue it here in the existing thread about it.
It has become seriously OT.
