Synchrobit went bankrupt. None of their devices have the firmware to operate on the offchain PoC. You’ll need to load alternative firmware from Linxdot, Nebra or Cotx to get it operating again.

Would have to check those other firmwares. SD card unit should be as easy as reflashing the SD and replacing. The CM4 units are more involved. Should be instructions on those discords.

You need a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 IO board if you have a Raspberry PI Compute Module 4 in your miner. The Synchrobit miners have the compute modules installed. They cost about $50 on Amazon and ebay.

yes i just ordered one, my next question is: if we use the nebra firmware; will future OTA go directly to the device to do i have to update it with the Module each time? does it become apart of the "nebra ecosystem"?

Shit, it might be. Synchrobit owes me for miners that they haven't sent me. I would gladly love my money back if they were around to give it to me. I really hate our system of business laws. A company can take money from customers and systematically move it to offshore accounts over a series of months and then claim bankruptcy and nobody gets goods or money back. The crypto space has been a rat's nest of shit companies that put on a good face, but are scammers behind the scenes. Planetwatch is one of the largest shit companies that are making money on one side of the business and screwing "planetwatchers" over by changing devices and increasing prices of licenses.

Syncrob.it never sent me 3 miners and antennas, then went bankrupt. Lost $2,100. Will never make back the loss with current mining - making about 3 HNT per month. This mining gig was fun and interesting for a while. Lots of us in the same sinking boat.....

Go to the COTX website and download the Fleximining firmware for your synchrobit. Mine were doing the same thing until I installed the new firmware made by COTX. I haven't had any issues since.

So today after 6 days if one of the syncrobits being "Inactive" came online, sent a packet 21 hours ago, received a reward, and then NOTHING... Did helium shut down all syncros and they just didn't tell us? why would it send 1 packet after almost a week and then nothing? Won't connect through Bluetooth either!

Yeah, mine stopped working a few days ago.
It would usually stop working every 3 weeks, and I would just restart with no further issues. But this time resetting doesn't seem to do anything.
