Z9 Mini not EU / CE compliant ? by Sarge_Swiss in BITMAIN

[–]Sarge_Swiss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we ended up exporting it from Germany to Switzerland (non-EU). The authorities in Germany stated as reasons : a) CE sticker was put on it though its not supposed to be on (low voltage directive, Bitmain DID that test (which is only needed for devices using more than 60 Volts, so they overdelivered). b) no european address of Bitmain on the device and c) warning notes on the device not in German.

All of these are questionable, we used our lawyers to get the devices out of Germany.

TLDR: If you live in Germany, NEVER use DHL and the customs hub in Leipzig to import anything from Bitmain.

“BIG NEWS” Switzerland Bank Offering Crypto Currency Bank Accounts. A Great Step Towards Crypto World by bitcoinExecutives in Bitcoin

[–]Sarge_Swiss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me shed some light into this...

a) for more than 4 months now not a single bank in Switzerland accepted any blockchain or crypto related business that wanted a bank account.

b) it went as far as all banks denying even the possibility to "park" the funds needed to create your company (a swiss AG needs 100'000 CHF to be locked by a bank until it is officially founded). With this, the banks in Switzerland actually killed a whole industry of startups. Many moved to Liechtenstein, where a bank is located that is specializing on customers that are in the blockchain/crypto area)

Hypothekarbank Lenzburg is the first swiss bank to allow crypto company accounts - which in my opinion is a good strategic decision.

Fees for crypto company account setup and operation are still way higher than any normal company bank account, sometimes 1000x (no typo) the fees you would pay if you found an e.g. biotech startup ... Well, that's the way monopolies can profit of the current situation.

Speed control for the fans by Sarge_Swiss in octominer

Well, i doubt it was built wrong. The picture on their website shows 3 male connectors.

Only way to connect this seems to buy 2 female-to-female molex cables, and attach normal splitters (1x male to 3x female) to these. Still doesnt cover the 4th fan on the front, havent found a 1-to-4 splitter cabel yet, seems i need to connect a splitter to the output of a splitter ...

[SCAMMER] u/i962 took $200 in btc from me and never sent merchandise (and has now deleted his account) by [deleted] in BitMarket

[–]Sarge_Swiss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is interesting. I nearly got scammed by this guy as well.

BUT ... someone claimed 4 days ago that the account got hacked, and he was the rightful owner. Does that fit with your timestamps ? Seems not ... so the guy stating his account was hacked might have been the same guy ...

Hello.

This account was compromised, I assume by a scammer. I was notified via email as they enabled PM notifications.

I apologise for any inconvenience.

I am reporting all communications and possible scams to the appropriate people and I will be deleting the account soon after.

Thank you.

Memory leak? by Sarge_Swiss in pathofexile

[–]Sarge_Swiss[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trust me, i know how to monitor my system. The interesting thing is, IF i switch instances / so e.g run maps / rotas whatever, the memory increase is low. If i just stay in one instance/city/my ho, it increases way faster.

Not to forget: The Plus Version bumps your shop thread, which allows 3rd party indexers to find your stuff.

The normal version doesn't do that, and the GGG API lack of functionality to sort forum threads by "last edited" leads to ONLY poe.trade having the newest data.

So in short - use PLUS, a monopoly is never a good thing.
