+2  Same issue here, and lots of folks on their support board are having the same issue.      So lets see, get a huge hash rate to your site with the 2x promotion, then change it after 2 days, then keep peoples earnings when they try to withdraw their mined LTC.    If it walks like a scam, talks like a scams, behaves like a scam.......... it IS A SCAM.    These people are the WORST.   They rank right up there with MT Gox on the trust worthy scale.    And blame everything that has gone wrong with it on "programing" and our programmer not being available on the weekends.   BullSHIT.   you plan out this huge promotion, and have someone update your payout bonus in real time, but can't get someone to look at your freiken code?   And you lost "electricity", BS, BS, BS.    The rest of the fools sticking around giving them the current 25GHs of LTC mining power are in for a rude awakening when they try to cash out.

Damn glad I got out on Friday (right after the bonus payout was changed without any notice) before I left town for the weekend...

Maybe showing as a newbie here, but I use the same user id on litecointalk.org where I am not a newbie

Playing devils advocate here for a minute:   

What happens if the controller dies/ loose connection to usb hub/ or just plain human error enables the BTC mode while the units are hashing away on LTC mode without a fan.

1) will they stay in that mode and keep hashing away?
2) if power cycled and the controller does not send the disable BTC command (bad controller, or loose cable), does the Gridseed come back up in double mode and burn itself up?   Any idea how long it can survive in this mode ?
3) Same scneario as #2, but we throw in the human error factor.  Say a user accidently enables duel mode.  How long do you have to find your error, and fix it before your $3,000 set of 10 Gridseeds decide to let the smoke out of their IC's?


Just seems like high risk to run without a fan until there is a firmware release that allows you to permanetly shut off the BTC function in firmware vs relying on a command from the controller to disable it when power cycled.

But I guess no one should worry as software never has a bug, cables and controllers never go bad, and humans never make mistakes......... right?
