? I didn't say anyone was accessing it, I said someone has access. It has been posted on here that asiabtc has remotely accessed these devices. So he DOES have access. We have no way of knowing who has access without source & root password.

It's an unverified binary. Claim what you like, but we only have your word for it. Who knows what back-doors have been written in. You might do, but we only have your word for it.

No one has root access to the device, stop making things up.  Feel free to run a network sniffer to confirm.

So i got a new TP-Link WR703N in the mail and tried to figure out how to flash it with the LA firmware..

Its ended up with the unit flashing for around 12 secs, then having the LED off for 4-5 secs and finishing having the blue LED on constantly after.

Anyone have any ideas?

Is ssh not active? I gave away my 703n , so can't check.

Connect the Tp-link directly to a PC, log in to telnet and change the network configuration.

Absolutely nothing happens. It seems like its either not taking DHCP address or giving it out if i put a client in the ethernet port.

I should possibly say that its with the standard tp-link firmware that its having this issue.

It is beyond my comprehension that users are willing to run hardware on their local network knowing someone else (unknown) has root access to the device. Especially inside the world of digital currencies. Why risk it? Use rasp pi and feel safe in the knowledge that you are in control. The modified mining software used in this binary is on github.

Maybe someone can try to change the root pw, activate ssh and create a new backup by a ttl adapter:

I dont like a closed system in my network too, i totally agree to Xell.
Its a good work, but we must be able to check what it is doing else. Sorry Sandor.

Wanted to make my PM to Asiabtc and his answer public

Please... Please give us root access to the controller.  You could be receiving free coding by opening this up, its very frustrating that you insist the firmware be closed source.  Sandor111 even agrees that the software should be open.  Sandor111 has done a fantastic job with the new firmware but there is still holes that need to be filled, IE: worker names ( not all the pools I mine on have the same worker name for security reasons) but with V3 I have to make all three pools worker names the same.  Also wifi, some of us have modded the controllers memory fron 4mb to higher and have the space to add wifi back but cannot.  

 I reiterate please for your customers open the firmware up, it is built on top of open source software and is only right to give us root access to the controller.

Thanks for your time and hard work,
Please take what I, and alot of other people agree with into consideration.  The code could be upgraded by the hundreds of us who would like to approve upon it.  We need root access!

hi,
we cannot open root access now. only controller can protect us. many people they steal our code. and Gridseed dont want to pay us for the coding.
thanks.

If you have a backup OpenWrt image for the Wiibox, I can upload that so it can be reverted.
I'm not sure about Wiibox controller, but I think it uses the standard cpuminer from Gridseed, without any speed/memory optimizations or mods.

ATM I'm working on a minimal JSON API for cpuminer, this will allow you to check the stats of your Gridseed miners without accessing the web interface.

So set the host computer to 192.168.1.100?? same as the ip address of the TPlink? Because by default thats the ip for the tplink

I have a question:

The original wiibox system is able to cut the power of the gridseeds by a relay connected to the gpio ports.
Can you integrate this hard reset by relay into Lightningasic, too?

I think they are using this script (gpio_0.sh):

Thanks.
