1  Other / Politics & Society / Localbitcoins stole my bitcoins just because I'm Iranian on: January 15, 2020, 05:16:37 PM
So lately localbitcoins started to ban Iranian users from trading bitcoins on their website.

In the beginning, they claimed that we will be able to withdraw our funds at any time, and recently they started their new verification process which requires accounts with more than 1000 € annual transactions to verify their ID and provide their address.

Even though my account annual transaction amount had never been more than 1500 €, they are asking me for Tier 2 verification which includes address verification that I already provided them. They are now claiming that my address verification which was a credit card statement is "not valid", And all of that was only supposed to prevent me from making trades on their platform, not to prevent me from withdrawing my Bitcoins.

Now when I tried to withdraw my 0.063 bitcoins which is worth more than 100M Rials, equal to around 10 months of a teacher's salary in my country due to the recent fall of our currency value because of sanctions, I realized that they have banned me from making outgoing transactions! They have literally stolen my Bitcoins by justifying that I'm residing in a country in which localbitcoins is not available!

While we are already suffering from sanctions and economic pressures & instabilities which directly target the people, the worst thing that can happen is getting our money stolen.

Note that I'm a 21-year-old Electronics Engineering student and an ordinary citizen trying his best to have some source of income to be independent. It took me and my brother around 8 months to make that money (half of that is my brother's, and I'm ashamed of telling him what happened).
Already facing economic pressures I also have problems finding electronic parts for even my hobby projects and I have to pay 2-3 times the real price of each part I need. Just imagine your life without Amazon, eBay, aliexpress, etc., and also no international credit cards like Mastercard and Visacard.


If you have any idea about how I can take our money back I'd be glad to hear that.


2  Other / Politics & Society / Decline of Bitcoin... Really Decentralized? Viewpoint as an Iranian on: May 29, 2019, 03:11:29 PM
So Bitcoin was meant to be a decentralized network for trading, but today as an Iranian when I tried to submit my ad in the LAST international Bitcoin trading marketplace that left my people unbanned until now (i.e. localbitcoins) I got this error:



Localbitcoins, based in Finland, located in the EU which is still a part of the JCPOA and has officially stated no trading sanctions against Iran, was the last hope of our community to have international trades.

My hope is to spread my word around the world to at least show not everything is as it seems like in the media. The EU constantly supports the deal in words and pretends to be the impartial knight of the universe. The way for them to prove themselves is to at least lift this ban and show that they're truly independent of US's policies.

4  Bitcoin / Mining support / Antminer s9 PSU failed possibly due to overheat on: February 12, 2019, 06:29:46 PM
Hello everybody,

My 220v 12v 1600w Chinese generic power supply has failed, my best guess is due to overheating, I wasn't at the place when it failed. Now I checked every component I could do with my DMM (caps, inductors, resistors, diodes, MOSFETs, BJTs, relay) and every item was OK. Its relay doesn't click and output is 0.00 volts.

There are two ICs on the high voltage side of the unit, NCP1399 and ice3pcs01g. I also managed to replace the NCP1399 since I thought it might be dead. The voltage on the HV pin of the NCP1399 is around 300v.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

5  Bitcoin / Mining support / Antminer s9 chip loss after cleaning on: November 21, 2018, 07:44:44 PM
Hi everyone,

I just carefully removed the asic boards from my s9 (I've had this for 9 months now, 14TH/s batch) and cleaned them with vacuum cleaner and reinserted them and tried my best not to touch them to avoid electrostatic discharges. And now as I turn it on only 33 of the chips on the chain 6 are responding. I just updated to the new firmware and now it says none of the chips are responding.

kernel log on new firmware:
Code:
set_reset_allhashboard = 0x0000ffff
set_reset_allhashboard = 0x00000000
Chain[J6] has 0 asic
set_reset_hashboard = 0x00000020
set_reset_hashboard = 0x00000000
retry Chain[J6] has 0 asic
set_reset_hashboard = 0x00000020
set_reset_hashboard = 0x00000000
retry Chain[J6] has 0 asic
set_reset_hashboard = 0x00000020
set_reset_hashboard = 0x00000000
retry Chain[J6] has 0 asic
set_reset_hashboard = 0x00000020
set_reset_hashboard = 0x00000000
retry Chain[J6] has 0 asic
set_reset_hashboard = 0x00000020
set_reset_hashboard = 0x00000000
retry Chain[J6] has 0 asic
set_reset_hashboard = 0x00000020
set_reset_hashboard = 0x00000000
retry Chain[J6] has 0 asic

Is there a MOSFET that was probably shocked by the ESD of my hands? Has anyone had a similar problem and tried to fix it?
Also, does anyone know which one is the chain 6 board?
