The no pictures part makes me think that it's definitely an internet-related issue on your part, although I can't imagine that a simple security reminders page is all that difficult to load. Knowing your approximate internet speed (56kb, 1Mbps 1Gbps etc) would help us pinpoint the issue further. If it's speed-related I don't think there's much we can do here. I don't think Bitmain offers a low-bandwidth version of their site.

It might be an issue related to your internet speed- when I try to go onto sites with 3G or 4G, for example, with a slow connection speed, sites load just like what you just posted here. Does the shop site load in a skeleton like what you just posted to us, or does it work fine? How about other sites (and list your download speeds)?

It could also be that an element in the page is broken and it's messing the whole webpage up. I wouldn't be surprised if it's just that and Bitmain just hasn't kept the page maintained in a while.

The Home editions of Windows 10 don't have gpedit, and I've been unsuccessful at trying to get it on one of my Home mining rigs, but it's still possible to disable updates and Windows Defender from the registry IIRC if you do use Home (link to disable Defender here). I overall agree with simply using Linux to get around this like everyone else has already said, though, but I do understand the rationale for using Windows for mining- that being said, using Linux does have its advantages, and it's up to you to decide whether or not they outweigh the advantages of Windows in the end.

There are also legitimate bonuses on some smaller online casinos that don't have strings attached to them as well, but they are usually small bonuses and aren't going to be worth your time.

If you've got a good following of people or just have the means to do so, you could also try using the affiliate system of an online casino to turn a quick buck. It's not really a bonus, but if you have the time, it's possible to make quite a bit of money with affiliate systems, and you're not going to lose money doing so.

Assuming an electrical cost of $0.04/kWh and power consumption of 1275W as listed by Bitmain on 220V with an APW3++, you're not even going to make $150/month now, and most people will make less than that with an electrical rate of $0.10/kWh (~$90 currently). There's just no way that you're going to break even in 50 days, even if you're not limited by electrical costs. It's simply not possible, and calculators do not factor in difficulty for the future which makes everything worse.

And there's still no information whatsoever on the Innosilicon site even after the removal of the T2 on Halong (most recent SHA miner listing on their site was a 28nm miner). Might just be a small delay from them preparing an article, etc about the T2 on Inno's site, but it seems like they're indeed going to switch gears to market this for Innosilicon now. We already know the approximate specs, but it's interesting to see this take so long.

This is basically what keeps me away from casino bonuses as a whole- it's always going to have strings attached like an enormous wager requirement, and 99% of your time it's not even worth reading the fine print to figure things out. I prefer to stick with sites I know and trust and stay away from bonuses- they're made to be an easy and profitable way to lure people in anyhow.

Even if it's not a wager requirement, you can be assured the casino is going to do everything in their power to prevent you from getting any of your money out. Remember, you're not supposed to win here. The casino is.

Interesting that the T2 is being advertised under the Innosilicon name (and even the website link on the card in the picture), even though there's no information as far as I can see about the T2 miner on the Innosilicon website- this might mislead potential buyers considering the product listing and specs are on the Halong site and all. Not sure what they're thinking here.

First things first, there's still French on your website even when the English language option is chosen, just a small issue but something I noticed.

Most of the purchase page for your rig is in French (except for the description) as well.

Second, you're a very new company offering a product worth $4000 dollars, and few people will trust such a company with any of their money at all. I'm not saying you're a scammer, but that's just what I notice from my perspective of looking at this site.                          

I've noticed MyRig started to have some problems ever since they started migrating from Bitmainwarranty (and perhaps they're under load from Halong unit orders, etc). They're still a great company nevertheless and I'll continue to buy equipment from them, no matter what delays come up.

I'm personally surprised Bitmain is still keeping prices so high on their L3++s even though they're destined to go the way of the D3 in terms of profitability. Falling coin prices right now don't help out much either. I could see the L3++ dropping to current A3 levels at ~$500 or even lower soon if Bitmain's in a rush to get rid of their machines.

Difficulty is going up just like Sandal_Hat mentioned too, there's a rise of about 8.13% predicted for the next difficulty period according to Bitcoinwisdom right now, and I imagine it's only going to go up. You'd have to be insane to buy one of these unless you have near-free electrical costs and a coupon.

If you're looking for scripts, a simple Google search for "BTC faucet scripts" yields a plethora of seemingly legitimate scripts, some of them free and some paid. One option I know is legitimate is Faucetinabox, and it's free, contains lots of features and is user friendly to install.

The Micro Earnings section of this forum also houses some scripts for sale and some for free.

They're literally compensated by the gambling sites to write favorable reviews about them, and there rewards can actually be rather large sums of money for review sites that get lots of traffic. I know because I used to write for blogs and websites that reviewed casinos, and one site paid me upwards of $100-200 for a single written review. I imagine the blog or website owner's keeping a very large sum to themselves as well.


If you're actually looking to confirm the legitimacy of a casino, Bitcointalk is a far better place than some compensated website to get information. Most searches for "(casino name) legit/scam" direct to threads on Bitcointalk anyways.

Even if you were able to buy accounts and somehow manage to not be tagged, there's still massive risk in most transactions as most escrowers deny requests to escrow transactions regarding Bitcointalk account transfers, and there's plenty of fake autobuys and people that insist on you (the buyer) going first. Even if you do receive an account, it could be already tagged and/or even the wrong rank, etc. In the end, it's really just not worth the hassle of trying to buy an account, no matter how difficult or long it may seem to rank up. Don't try to cheat the system or you'll get burned in the process.

The DR-100 pro seems to be just a tweaked version of Pinidea’s DR-100, but doing a quick search, nothing came up about the miner besides the Pinidea shop listing.

As for an alternative, the D3 costs half as much as the DR-100 Pro, and it only hashes a bit slower and is only a bit less efficient than the DR-100 Pro. You may want to check the D3 out, not a bad option for half the cost.

65-70 is perfectly acceptable for GPU mining, I don't think the issue is actually related to temps in this case or card temps just rise too quickly to be monitored. From the information you've given us, all the temps seem okay. Before crashing, do the cards get to 100C or something of the sort?

This two accounts-type issue actually happened to me as well upon trying to withdraw, but in the end I was able to keep my main account and the other was deleted. I basically explained I made the original account a long time ago and that I forgot it existed, so I made a new account on the site, and apparently that was a legitimate response and they actually let me keep my new account.

As veleten stated above, the ToS you apparently breached was having multiple accounts.

2FA's about as good as you can get with the methods Skrill offers for account security, and I have yet to be hacked on any account with Google and Authy 2FA enabled.

In the future, try to not always use the same email address or password for signing up on websites, and if your email does show up on a site like https://haveibeenpwned.com/, change your password and make sure it's sufficiently long (I always use passwords longer than 15 characters). I get emails stating that some of my accounts on very old crypto services have been logged into from unusual IP addresses every now and then (the sites don't allow those IPs to login), and I change my passwords to something unique every time, and these alerts have almost completely stopped coming.

Yep, remove the - in front of the stratum address, username, and password, add in your own BTC addy, and you should be good to go. I haven't heard of blockmasters yet, but it seems to be basically the same as ahash but with more algos, hell even the layout and theme is almost identical, but fees are 0.25% vs 1% on ahash. I may give this a shot myself.

Most calculators are going to be a bit (sometimes more!) off because they primarily make their money off of ads and thus traffic. People are going to visit a calculator site that seems to provide better returns compared to another one that may be spot on or lowballs rewards. It's unfortunate, but the only foolproof way to calculate actual current mining rewards is to just use a pen and paper or legitimately crunching numbers with a calculator.
