FCSP Bit mining?

[Madasahatter1138]

Was checking out my home network activity and devices on my WiFi, and I found a device connected that is identifying itself as a BITMAIN Antminer L3+, which until I googled it, had no idea what that was.
Apparently it's made by Texas Instruments and is just that, a Bitcoin miner PC.

Upon further inspection , I matched the MAC and IP address to that of my FCSP!

This is very odd IMO..I have seen network scanners pull up wrong names, but those is within my Routers UI (UniFi).

Has anyone seen this before, or maybe it's just an anomaly here on my network?

It would be a sneaky way to make some $ for FoMoCo though!

Wonderful. I can't get my FCSP to communicate with me and you're mining crypto with yours. You know, in the day I built my own Tandy 2000. My, how I've fallen behind.

This used to be a very common bug with UniFi operating system, although it has become more accurate over time. Ubiquiti used to label my Tesla as a washing machine.

What application on your phone is associating the device with a mining device? Most likely some other mining device out there in the world has a similar MAC and some cloud service i matching it.

The UniFi App, as well as my Unifi account viewed on my web portal.

Yes I used to see this with printers being called Apple TVs but that was on my old network, hadn't seen this on the newer UniFi network. Thanks for the reply.

My Unifi controller isn't mis-identifying it my FCSP. But nonetheless, I think you can be sure your FCSP is not actually mining bitcoin for you.
