Title: Mining Company went bankrupt, I forgot my password, wanna mine again
Post by: BitAvrillis on July 09, 2017, 05:43:18 PM
Hey Guys,

if somebody could help me, I thought its you! So I buyed a Coincraft Desk Miner (ASIC Miner) from "Bitmine" (www.bitmine.ch -> (((bankrupt))) ) and the difficulty went up etc. so I forgot about my miner. Now I wanna try to mine something again, but I forgot the password at the Mining Interface. Bitmine had a interface from which I could paste in the pool adress and my wallet etc. nothing huge, just for normies. My question is now, since I cannot go into the interface without brute force (but I dont know the system software of the miner, it just displays starting cgminer, maybe thats windows?). How can I tell the miner now on which pool it should work etc. like how do I type it in, because it is a computer for itself and I am not the techchamp.

Thank you for your help!

Not familiar with the hardware, but there's probably a way to reset it physically.
Look for a physical reset button on the machine and it should reset the login details to default values.

On a separate note, the difficulty is probably to high nowadays to turn a profit with that miner.

These might help.

The Coincraft uses a raspberry pi which you can reset by re-imaging the SD card.

Hey yeah! We could reset it and then it was just admin/admin, puuuh. Anyone knows what I can mine with Sha-256 Miner atm?  :)

Bitcoin or Peercoin seem to be the most profitable coins mineable at this moment with SHA256. Other ones pop up sometimes but they only last more profitable than BTC or PPC for a short time. Keep in mind the Coincraft miners are extremely outdated with terrible efficiency compared to current gen miners and unless you have free electricity you are losing money running it.
