#HeatbitWatch 🕵️♂️
Yo #Bitcoin plebs, help me fact-check my "miner."
🚀 My HeatBit "Journey"
Bought a HeatBit Mini (heater + miner combo). Claims to mine through Luxor. But uh… something’s sus.
🔍 Tests I Ran (Like a Good Paranoid Bitcoiner):
✅ Packet Sniffing: Zero traffic to Luxor/Stratum (41k packets, nada)
✅ MAC Check: OUI says Espressif/Foxconn (not an ASIC, lol)
✅ Router Logs: Device vanishes when "mining" (spoopy DHCP games)
✅ Unplug Test: No unit = no "earnings" (app needs theater mode)
🤔 My Dumb Questions:
If it’s really mining, why no pool traffic?
Why does it hide from my LAN when mining?
Luxor pros: Shouldn’t I have a worker ID? (All I get is TN-based "trust me bro" balances)
🎤 Open Mic:
Pool ops: Is this how real Stratum works?
ASIC hackers: Can an Espressif chip even mine SHA-256?
HeatBit users: Y’all seeing this too?
😅 Bonus Lulz:
Their "HEPA filters" cost more than my S19’s PSU
App only shows one unit at a time (like a shitcoin shell game)
💡 Goal:
Let’s crowdsource the truth. Is this just a space heater with a crypto-themed screensaver?
⚡ Zap for Visibility (if you’re a Luxor/ASIC wizard)
(P.S. HeatBit, if you’re reading this—my DMs are open for on-chain proof.)
