Hello all, bit of a longshot, but i'm looking for anyone who has any suggestions of how i could get my money back out of this scam casino cryptosdice.com I deposited bitcoins to them to be part of the bankrole, when i decided to withdraw i withdrew 2 transaction, sonly received one of them, they are still holding over 0.3 btc, almost a year later, no answers to support tickets, twitter messages, emails or bitcointalk messages on their thread. btc is prob lost, but if anyone has any ideas would be very grateful!

Hello all, sorry if this is in the wrong place, not sure if it's supposed to be in hardware, or tech support? Mods if it's in the wrong place please can you move it for me.

OK, so I just got an s7 off ebay, and am absolutely delighted, free electric here so no worries about mamoth bills, the housing provider can have those for all I care as they are pretty useless! OK rant over, so I have my shiny new second hand miner which is hashing happily, generating crypto and basically doing all I want it to, apart from the shrieking noise coming from the fan, the very loud whirring and basically much more noise than the s5, and will probably cause my neighbours to hate me, tell the manager, who will take great deligh in reeking her spiteful revenge upon me by telling me "you can not! have that! get rid of it this minute!" and send my new hashing friend away from me, causing me to pine terribly.

So, has anyone got any ideas how I can safely, dampen, quieten the noise, with either new fans or other methods that are easy and none obtrusive to do in a rented flat, I can't do vents out the window and stuff like that, the whole idea is to ensure that no one knows I'm mining in here! the person who soled the miner to me was really helpful, he said some people have been putting the miners in cooler boxes and drilling holes to let the air out, but concerned the miner might overheat and blow in said box? my carer is very worried about them blowing so not sure she'd go for the idea anyway for safety's sake, whats everyones take on this?
can I get a quieter fan fitted to the unit, and how easy would this be to do, taking into account the fact I'm totally blind so a bit of guidance would be very helpful!

What I'm doing at the moment, I don't know if it's safe though! Is running the miner fan at 30 per cent, frequency 700, and the chips are at 77 degrees, seems to run and hash fine at this temp/frequency, and its set to stop mining if temp hits 80, is this a problem, i.e. will my miner decide to blow up and cook the whole building, as I don't really want to be cooked and leave a horrible smell as my last gift to the world, to be honest!
I'm based in the UK, so any sellers/sole traders of mining equipment who could help, I'd again be very grateful.
thank you for any help,
take care all

Hello all, I hope someone can advise on this, I think it could be a router issue but really don't know.

When I turn my antminer S3 on, and it's happily mining, for some unknown reason, my internet slows wright down [I have 350mbps internet so this shouldn't happen] my emails take ages to be checked, pages take ages to load, my network time synch tool stops working etc   
I turn off the s3, and everything goes back to normal.
I've tried updating firmware, factory resetting, changing router settings, nothing seems to help with the issue and im at a loss. the router is supplied by virgin cable in the UK, and because they register the mac address to my account I don't think I can just buy a new router and connect it, which is a damn shame as I'd have tried that if so. this issue never happened on my old super hub router from virgin years ago when i first got the s3, its only happening now on the hitron business router. really don't know what to think so any help would be appreciated.

Hello all, I was wondering if this is even possible? I have a block eruptor cube, which is on the old getwork protocol so use a stratum proxy, the mining_proxy.exe one. so i've tried numorous lines to try and set up a backup pool so say I have beta rigs rental pool first, then miners point as my backup so when i don't have a rental it moves to miners point, but I can't seem to get the stratum proxy to set up that way. is this even possible and if so what am i doing wrong?
take care, craig.

Hello all, just looking for a bit of help.

Got one of these cubes from Ebay, and wondering if and when the need arises, how would I go about upgrading the firmware? I can connect the cube to the computer via its usb port but not sure what to do next?
take care
craig.
