Title: BFL 60Ghs problems Post by: gogxmagog on November 19, 2015, 01:09:45 AM Hi, I got my BFL 60ghs ASIC just before the 2013 bubble (thankfully because I was able to pay for the year late thing and make a bit of profit before the difficulty edged me out of the game)
I eventually unplugged it and put it aside because it wasn't making much btc and I needed to do work on the room it ran in Last week I thought I'd fire it up again just for the hell of it but it does not seem to work any more. I think it is a software problem because it seems to make the right noises like it used to but the program it came with just says nothing is connected. Is there a new software bundle or a better software bundle I can use? I'm not interested in talking to BFL as they are assh*les but I seem to recal there was some sort of software issues from their end around after I unplugged. I'm using an acer notebook with Windows to run it Title: Re: BFL 60Ghs problems Post by: OgNasty on November 19, 2015, 01:30:15 AM Hi, I got my BFL 60ghs ASIC just before the 2013 bubble (thankfully because I was able to pay for the year late thing and make a bit of profit before the difficulty edged me out of the game) I eventually unplugged it and put it aside because it wasn't making much btc and I needed to do work on the room it ran in Last week I thought I'd fire it up again just for the hell of it but it does not seem to work any more.

Title: Re: BFL 60Ghs problems Post by: gogxmagog on November 19, 2015, 11:47:57 PM I had bfg miner and the BFL included software, but like I say, it has been a while since I've mined successfully. I'll try to download newer versions and see what happens.
Could it be hardware problems? How would I be able to tell this? I have a lifetime guarantee on it but BFL is a no-go for me forevermore. I'd just like to know what's wrong in case I decide to give it away to someone ( there are lots of guys wanting to mine "for fun and education" I might give it away) Anyways I will try all your suggestions and see where it gets me. Thanks for the help Title: Re: BFL 60Ghs problems Post by: Tupsu on November 20, 2015, 08:51:20 AM You will get approximately a kilo of aluminum from this miner + 2x 12cm FAN.
This is the only valuable thing from this miner. I've been already 10 pieces scrapped and as many are still left. Certainly this is not a miner, which would require the opening of a second thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1255757.0 Title: Re: BFL 60Ghs problems Post by: zOU on November 20, 2015, 08:56:14 AM I've been already 10 pieces scrapped and as many are still left. I'm happy to get them off your hands if you're willing to ship to Europe :) Especially if they're worth nothing to you ;D ;D ;D Title: Re: BFL 60Ghs problems Post by: Tupsu on November 20, 2015, 11:57:06 AM I've been already 10 pieces scrapped and as many are still left.

But I have a whole bunch of KNC jupiter november modules. 170GH/s and much better efficiency as BFL. with original KNC radiator mount clamp (you need to buy yourself a radiator) and with data cable. Without a controller, but they can buy from ebay. 1x Jupiter module - 5 euro + shipping from EU Title: Re: BFL 60Ghs problems Post by: zOU on November 20, 2015, 12:22:35 PM I'm not interested in their sales.
