I guess we got SCAMMED...

Harlo Labs firmware: https://harlolabs.com Harlo Labs expose:    • EXPOSED: Bitfortun BS1 Adds FAKE Hashrate?...   Red Fox Crypto Bitfortun BS-1 Video:    • The Next Generation of Home Bitcoin Mining...   Bitfortun BS1 fake hashrate exposed: the BM1373 lottery miner shows 5.5 TH/s on the screen and dashboard, but the real hash rate is about 5.1 TH/s. The firmware adds +400 GH/s in code. Huge credit to JD at Harlo Labs for finding the +400 GH/s offset in Bitfortun’s GitHub/firmware, and to Red Fox Crypto for catching the API reporting ~5,100 GH/s. I ran the BS1 on my local Public Pool (Umbrel) and the extra 400 GH/s never shows up at the pool. In this video I show: • Stock dashboard vs API vs pool hashrate • The boot screen starting at 400 GH/s before the chip even ramps • Why pool numbers fluctuate and why 3 hours is not enough to “see” 400 GH/s • Comparison with my Bitfortun Octa / Octaxe on real open-source firmware • What Helium Deploy said about compensation for false advertising • Why custom Harlo Labs firmware (like they did for the Hammer P2) is the fix This is not stolen hashrate — the chip is hashing. The display and dashboard are inflating the number. On a small lottery miner, 400 GH/s is a real % of the spec, not noise like a 3–5% swing on a big-boy Bitmain box. If you own a Bitfortun BS1: 1. Check API / pool average, not just the screen 2. Watch for Helium Deploy’s compensation / listing update (they’ve already moved the product page toward 5.1 TH/s) 3. Wait for Harlo Labs firmware — flashing the ESP32 should be straightforward I am not a firmware developer. I missed this on the first review because I treat small-miner variance like large ASIC variance. That was a mistake on this class of device. Every GH/s matters when people are buying “5.5 TH/s” lottery tickets. Subscribe for the follow-up when Harlo Labs firmware drops and I flash this unit.
