An update on the scammer:

He never got back to me, obviously. Just got off the phone with eBay, nothing they can do for me. SOL. They are going to be looking into him and possibly deleting his account for doing business outside of eBay's system.

I was contacted by another member here who was also scammed by him. Looking at the payment address we were given, looks like he scammed a few people. One of the scams was a Titan listing, and another a Neptune.

Here's the scammer's address: 18JAc9cR45vXEkw2MeuiDarxQ5f8CugNer

I was the 3.2BTC transaction, the other scammed BCT user was the 3.5BTC, and it looks like he got a third sucker for 3.4BTC before the end of his listings.

If anyone knows how to find info on him, especially his home address, please get in touch with me. His eBay userid is "int1130133".

Hey check your PM's dude!!!! For some reason I got to see ALL the folks who left feedback for him,ALL OF THEM!!!!!!  

Enjoy!! I have copies on my PC if imgur fails to show  

THANK YOU!

Sending you some BTC once you get me your address.

As a bidder in one of the auctions I received a message from ebay advising me not to complete any sale outside ebay because this account was hacked.

That's the reason why they removed some of his feedback.

The removed feedback was apparently made by the hacker.

Having no reason to doubt this conclusion from ebay I think this settles this case.

Unfortunately some people lost their coins but trying to find the real owner of the account and harassing him won't make it better for anyone.

I can't go through all 600+ pages. Any news regarding spondoolies next gen?

Nope.  They haven't announced anything.

Considering problems with the new fabs, I doubt we see any next gen stuff before Q4 this year.

Are they still having problems with both 14nm and 16nm?

no news mate
the last one was: 12u box composed of 16blades, 16kw, unknown speed, eta: no idea!

1) This is as detailed as I can get without going here into logic of implementation.
2) Standard linux wifi control file in /etc/ and standard linux commands.

thank you for your reply, is there any man embedded in the SP20?

How can I check the pool status in it?

There were some announcements last quarter stating production issues at the 16nm fabs would push back mass production to q3/q4.  Figure if the manufacturers can't even get chips until late q3/q4, we won't see boxes available until the end of the year.

TSMCS won't see mass production until 2016, qualcom and others have such large contracts with Samsung that getting chips out of them is going to be hard in 2015.  I don't think we see next gen in any appreciable quantity until last this year or early next year.  The second half of this year is going to be a weird one for bitcoin mining.

Squid? Maybe this will help you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spondulix

What is the command I can use in cli mode on a SP20 to check the pool status?

I would like to see if the pool are dead or alive and all the other info that is displayed in the webUI.

thanks

php /var/www/monitor.php

will get you the same output of browsing to /monitor.php

Otherwise I think you would have to query the cgminer api unless someone knows where cgminer logs its output to.

Anyone know how to install no-ip (or some other free ddns service) on a SPxx for remote administration?

Don't you need to set NoIP on your router and do some port forwarding from there to you SPxx? I recently setup my home web-server (not on port 80) with no-ip and all I had to do was add a game / application on the router and ensure that the server was running on a static IP (or set the always use this IP if DHCP on router ... though may cause conflicts). I also turned off upnp.

The problem is that my router doesn't support no-ip..

Then you'll need to install the No-IP app either on a PC that you keep on all the time you want access to your SPxx or on the SPxx itself (not sure whether they have one, but you can always look on the web for 3rd party solutions, even code!). If you go the former route, aka the official app, then NoIP have a very good starter guide which should make the process trivial.

That's what I'm looking for, to install no-ip on the SPxx itself. It would be an easy task on a linux distro like ubuntu or debian, but not sure how to do it on this embedded linux SPT uses..

build instructions - no support.

Ok done these steps on my Ubuntu VM, what would be the next step after ""make deploy"" for installing no-ip to my machine?

Very nice you now have the dev environment for the SPxx, now all that is left is the routine to update the NoIP servers with your ip. NoIP have an api for that here. All you need to do now (in code to include on the SPxx) is obtain the SPxx gateway IP (i.e your internet IP NOT the SPxx IP) and periodically update their servers on where to find you. Theres also an arduino forum discussion on implementing NoIP that may interest you here.

PS. I have to say you can implement that routine above in pearl (or any scripting language the SPxx OS supports) rather than the arduino way, so just provided for the interfacing with NoIP.

Ok great thanks for helping! Noip's api should help. I don't need to find my WAN IP address, I tested it by just typing

Code:

http://username:password@dynupdate.no-ip.com/nic/update?hostname=mytest.testdomain.com

in my browser, and the host IP correctly updates itself.
So I guess I should make the SPxx send a HTTP header GET request periodically (like every 2 hours), I could include it in a crontab.
But I don't know how to use the dev environment I am supposed to have now in my VM, and then how to move my work to my SPxx..
I am now sitting on the ubuntu prompt..

Code:

bomberb17@ubuntu:~/workspace/sp30-top$

Edit:
I found out that by logging with ssh and running

Code:

curl http://username:password@dynupdate.no-ip.com/nic/update?hostname=mytest.testdomain.com

works and updates the ip!

[miguelmorales85]

Hello, How can I change through CLI the pool config into a SP20? I would like to change all the pools parameters (priority, user, URL, etc)

Do I need to restart the miner after changing the forementioned file? I bet I need to, How can I do that? spond-manager?

Yep ... turns out you do not need the dev environment afterall! (well keep it intact for the next project).
So simply running a cron task with that command will keep NoIP up to date. What is left is port forwarding (on your router) to the SPxx ... share your settings when you accomplish that if you do not mind.

I have already found a way to change web/SSH ports, see my post here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=984495.0
So if you want to use port forwarding on a router, I recommend to change these to a random 5-port number instead of using ports 22 and 80 to avoid being hacked.

Even though I solved the noip thing, I would still like to know how to use the dev environment. So what's next after make deploy?

[bomberb17]

My problem now is that my script file gets deleted after reboot.. Anyone know where to put my files to make them persistent?
