1  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: antminer s9 not able switch back „static“ to „DHCP“ on: January 14, 2018, 02:01:16 PM
I am having the same issue. I tried to change my ip to static and lost everything in that screen and now it won't change back and i can't connect to the antminer. It isn't showing as being online in my router. I've tried using ip reporter and nothing shows up when i push the button on the antminer.
I've unplugged the miner many times to try and reset the ip address but nothing works.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The reason i chose skype instead of alibaba to communicate with them is because i had bitcoins i wanted to spend on the antminer i was purchasing and it says that bitcoin is only accepted outside of alibaba. So since i got the skype address off of their ad on alibaba i thought all would be legit.
I honestly thought i did all my due diligence. i questioned the person over and over and they always had a good answer. The main reason i went ahead with the order is because i saw that they do over $100,000 of business with alibaba and they had a 4star rating. so i thought there's no way they will scam me, this company has been around and do lots of business. This wasn't a company that had no stars and no product being sold on Alibaba. Although i lost .91 bitcoins i hope my mistake can help others. It is nice to see some people have read this post and i'll chalk this up to a $2000 lesson in bitcoin scams and move forward. Thanks to everyone who read and has responded. For what it is worth it the support means a lot.
cheers!

Thanks for the advise. I am used to ordering from legit companies from north america. As for alibaba accepting bitcoin, no they don't. However on this companies website they say that they do accept bitcoin. which is why i decided to contact them via skype. In hind site i was a complete fool. I am more than sure that this company is working with the scammers , if not they would remove the skype contact information from alibaba. I have reported it to alibaba. I don't think there is anything else i can do. i know the police are absolutely useless with these cases especially since i paid in bitcoin. I'll learn from this and move on. really crappy they do this just before christmas. I hope karma comes to them.
4  Economy / Scam Accusations / Alibaba Antminer Scam (Shenzhen Dihao Technology Co., Ltd.) on: December 18, 2017, 07:17:01 PM
I recently was scammed out of bitcoins trying to place an order on alibaba with Shenzhen Dihao Technology Co., Ltd. and wanted to make other aware.

On Alibaba, Shenzhen Dihao Technology Co., Ltd., lists Antminers for sale. On the bottom of the ad it says to contact skype: plyedda or use whatsapp. I chose skype. After i added this person to skype i looked at their profile and it said they worked for their company ect. I chatted with the person and after a lengthy conversation i decided to go ahead with an order. I received an invoice via email and everything looked legit. The order was wrong so i said i needed the order changed. So after they "messaged their finance dept. to change the order" they sent me another email. The email said the companies name and again looked legit. I was very nervous about sending bitcoin but that is what i had to spend so that was what i used. They said many people order with bitcoin and this is how it is done. After contemplating for a while and looking at everything i thought yes it was a legitimate company and this would have to be the way transactions work with them when ordering on the other side of the world. After sending the bitcoin the person wouldn't respond to my skype and i knew i had been duped.
I contacted the company through Alibaba and they said that i had been scammed and said they knew this type of thing was going on with skype. I asked why they kept the skype contact on their site if they knew it was happening and why they wouldn't post on their site to not use skype for communication. I didn't receive an answer.
This put me in a very difficult financial situation just before Christmas and i want to make sure no one else is caught in this situation. i feel completely embarrassed and ashamed of myself for falling for this so the only thing i can do now is to pass my experience on and hopefully educate other newbies.
