Blue Fury?  What's the difference between Blue Fury and Red Fury?

Edit: Never mind, I see they have a blue LED now.   :-\  Blue sucks.  I'd prefer red, I've enough blue LEDs to cover up, so they don't light up the whole upstairs of the house...

Old skool red LEDs rule!

I remember in the 90's when blue LEDs first started to emerge, and they cost like 40x that of the red LEDs. Hard to imagine now, but back then they were the coolest thing. Now they are everywhere, and I want red back.

Shipping is from New Zealand. I expect the shipping to be considerably less than that quote.

Yes that is correct.

Sorry I didn't see the reply. I think you will need to install a driver and then it will be plug and play.


Also I have updated the op.

Hi,

Are working to support Bitminter, cgminer.
But, now is possible run the USB RedFury with Minepeon/Bfgminer? Or we need to wait a new updated of Minepeon? Suppose

I have worked 9 USB block erupter with Rsapberry/minepeon, and need updated minepeon with bitfury, or virtual machine with Ubuntu, suppose

Thanks for all

We are working with DrHaribo on bitminter support. I have talked with Neil about minepeon support. Once official cgminer or official bfgminer support is public he will incorporate it with minepeon get me to test for bugs and after I give the ok then he will release it.

Hmm.. Where are you located? I'm thinking about setting up my own group buy, just because I'm bored and I want to give people as close to the original price as possible(I don't care about profit).

Just as long as I don't end up paying extra including their shipping.

I'm currently setting up a simple site for this! :D (including an autorefreshing counter).

I don't know why I'm so amped to do this :C.

I'd like to thank Bobsag3 for arranging the Canadian orders.

As it stands there are confirmed (paid) orders for 15 units.  5 of which are mine.

However, if this GB doesn't reach 100 by next Friday the orders are being refunded.  Fair enough.

If this fails, how are Canadians supposed to be able to buy your product?  There seems to be some fear about shipping to Canadian BTC Miners in nearly all GB's I've been watching.  I don't know about other people but I would/am willing to pay the extra shipping, as it is an international shipment.

Do you need someone in Canada to be a distributor?

There is currently one vendor who seems to only deal with Asicminer products but perhaps they could be approached? www.wtcr.ca

This post is only intended to start brainstorming to fix the situation if the GB Bobsag3 is organizing fails.

Ideas?

Cheers,

 You can definitely fit 10 of them in a Gearmo 10 port. Can only fit 5 in an Anker 9+1. Have not tried on an Anker old-style 10 port.

That hub looks really nice, can't find them being sold anywhere in the UK though. Shame

The Anker 9+1 is tiny, much smaller than the old 10 port hubs. I am hoping the old Anker's ports will be spaced enough, but want to know what I need to buy in case they are not.

Thanks for your pic:)

how many are headed to Canada? and price of those if I wanted 1 or 2?

I'm living in Vancouver, going to try to get a bunch imported here and ship them domestically. Price will be competitive with American resellers, with cheaper shipping to Canada naturally.

All components inbound to the fabrication in New Zealand. Test run will start in a couple of days. Main run will be a little bit delayed because of China holidays causing pcb problems.

Why would it be impossible?  When they won't make 0.05BTC in a lifetime, it will definitely be possible.  I just want one as a toy/museum piece.

Well the chip alone from bitfury is 6x the price you are expecting. Also what kind of calculations are you using that 2.6 ghs won't mine 0.05 in a lifetime? I am going to tell you now it is impossible unless bitfury bring chip pricing down to $1 and we can get a 20000 unit run to bring pcb and parts down also.

฿0.05 is wrong calculation. Single 2.6GH/s miner, starting to mine today, and with 90% monthly difficulty rise, will mine ฿0.37 during it's lifetime.

 It is quite probable it will cost more than 0.05BTC to manufacture one of these units for quite some time, and it would make poor business sense to sell these well below cost.

http://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty

90% monthly difficulty rise would be normal at least for a few months. Current KnC delivery hasn't been accounted for yesterdays difficulty increase, expect even higher next percentage rise. HashFast is delivering by the end of this month and is promising to more than double the current network hash-rate before new year, currently we have 1.5 PHs, HashFast alone will dump 2PHs. We will also get KnC batch #2 in the mix in the same timeframe. When all this is deployed we will get astronomic CoinTerra dump, they are biggest of all these manufacturers and nobody knows exactly their influence yet. I'm not even counting smaller chip makers like Bitfury, Avalon Gen 2, AsicMiner Gen 2, etc. So, 90% monthly increase is extremely conservative expectation for next 4-6 months, feel free to use much bigger number for your calculations, but with conservative 90% a month you get ฿0.37 expected earnings for this USB Bitfury miner.

Which, quite remarkably, is just about what the chip vendor is charging for the chip alone.  You can't blame an assembler for trying to recover his NRE on a limited life product, or enthusiasts who want to add a new toy to their collection.

Try hitting the reset button. The one near the USB port with the rst beside it.
Cgminer 3.5.0 has stability issues on a raspberry pi. I would try bfgminer. The information on how to install it on raspi is in the second post. Either way I would recommend using a pc as a host I found it is a lot more stable.

There's a bug in 3.5.0 where if you start BF1s after your machine has been up for a while, they will refuse to hash. The fix is to reboot your machine until I get a new version of cgminer out. If your BF1s are already hashing you will not have this problem.

This is defiantly not good news at all. You are giving the go ahead for resellers to sell more based off that 2nd week of October ship date when there is no way that date can be met with what you are saying now. ssinc alone has sold over 560. And he isn't the only one to order from you im sure.

Probably depends on if your one of the first 30-40 orders. If that. theres a 50 unit and several 40 unit orders in there  :-\

Also realize he isn't the only reseller that submitted orders for these.. So that 250-300 units split over the resellers .. looks bleak

It has already been announced that we will have a one week delay because of Chinese holidays causing pcb shortages. We are trying to get this shipped as quickly as we can but the holidays are causing issues.

The 2 week shut down in China is well known and it was a concern for me when I was pricing out my own production of a USB BitFury and I decided the delay would push the delivery too far into the future to make sense for potential buyers given the probable delays in Indonesia for shipping to the fabricator as well as holidays here stretching till Wednesday. I am sure that the BlueFury team will be right on top of this issue and shipping as soon as they can when they get boards in hand to finish the fab.

The 2 week shut down in China is well known and it was a concern for me when I was pricing out my own production of a USB BitFury and I decided the delay would push the delivery too far into the future to make sense for potential buyers given the probable delays in Indonesia for shipping to the fabricator as well as holidays here stretching till Wednesday. I am sure that the BlueFury team will be right on top of this issue and shipping as soon as they can when they get boards in hand to finish the fab.

2 weeks? I think you are getting confused with Chinese New Year in Jan/Feb. The holiday was 30th September - 8th October. 8 days. Everyone has been back at work for 9 days now.

If the original target was 2nd week of October, then we can safely add 8 days to that, so our projected target would now be somewhere in the middle of the 3rd week, like October 20~23 ... I'm just guessing. I hope we get it sooner.

National Holidays 1 Week shut down (7+ days) at the fab I was talking with and additional festival days. Meaning fab for PCBs could take 2 to 3 weeks to get to our finishing in Jakarta. This has nothing to do with the BlueFury but another variation I was going to build. This was my own perspective and decision not these guys making the BlueFury. I couldn't place any orders for FAB before the holiday so that was another reason why I stipulated 2 weeks. http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/china/ Given that I was concerned with the Muslim holiday would also be smack dab in the middle of production and cause more delays. Not sure what the BlueFury concerns were beyond the 7 days holiday.

Pcbs will be coming in start of next week and we should be able to start shipping units late next week.
Sorry for the delays we are trying to get everything done as quickly as we can but we don't want to rush anything that could cause problems with devices in the future.

Hey guys, I understand the concerns, but no ASIC company and particularly a privately run cooperative has gotten as close as Big Picture has to their announced schedule, given all the variables.

We're about on par, if not a little better than KnC, and we're certainly ahead of Avalon and BFL. Of course, we're only making 1 chip USB miners.

All of the preorders or just the 250-300 you quoted earlier?

I just want to make sure we have a reasonable expectation of what you are outlining in your timeline and we aren't playing a game of semantics.

I have a couple of questions:

How is the initial 300 of these coming that you have the boards for?  Any pictures of these in action?

Will the lights blink like that firmware test I saw a video of somewhere?  I like blinky lights!

All of the units will be shipped at the same time.
Yes they will ship with the most up to date firmware.
We will also have future firmware available to download.
The flashing process only takes about 10 seconds per device.

Holidays just another one of the many ways a already tight timeline goes to crap....hehe.  Pretty much expected 1-2nd week would be 3rd to 4th at least as long as its same month we are doing well compared to most asic pre-order situations so I'm not worried in least here :-)

We all knew about the holidays. That was a known issue and it was calculated. What may not have been calculated is slower production time than was promised, logistics being longer than it was promised etc... hope there are no customs issues. Something typically a pain the arse in Indonesia but I doubt that it will be an issue for NZ.

We will have pictures by Thursday I think. In regards to packaging I don't know yet as I don't handle the packaging/posting etc. The packaging should be similar to the simplistic asicminer style.

200 units have been produced Today and another 400 per day until 1800 is completed.

Why is the planned compensation program for the delay not announced yet?  Considering the current value of the coins, the BFs have now about doubled in price since then.  I hope the compensation package not only considers the delay/difficulty factor but the increase in BTC value as well.  Otherwise, it would make sense just to get a refund for these GBs and wait for the next ones at the adjusted price.  These BFs are never gonna make ROI anyway; not even with the original BTC value when the preorders were placed.  I'm not bashing or trolling on anybody.  Like one poster stated on ssinc's thread, it's nothing personal; it's just business.  The compensation package should already have been announced by now.  Otherwise, it would be a moot point to do it after the fact; when the BFs start shipping tomorrow and refunds will no longer be possible and be stuck with $200 BFs instead of only $100 each when they were originally ordered.

On Tuesday you said 200 units were produced. then you say 400 per day afterwards.. ok. so Tuesday 200 + Wednesday 400 + Thursday + 400 - There is 1000 units that should be done. 1st week of October will not be 1st week of November.

No I was just curious when you said you don't mine.  I don't know the exact number of erupters I sold but it's around 1000-1200.  I saved 6 for myself.  Those are 6 very profitable erupters.  I also have 3 dead ones I still have not exchanged.  You could argue those made money too.
And I'll pass on buying any from you.  I have 20 here and 20 in another GB.  But let me know if you get .8 BTC.  I have a feeling the resale market will be competitive.

They both add up to 1800. So, maybe the division is not what was expected, but at least its all going to get done. If other manufacturers have failed worse, this one only failed a little bit (sort of like, better late than never.)

Incase anyone is wondering why Tuesday and not Monday it is because Monday is a holiday in NZ so the fab has a day off. Holidays are causing some real issues. Units have been shipped today and tracking numbers will be sent out. Shipping will complete Tuesday next week or Wednesday at the latest.

I have not heard any of the resellers mention they have received a tracking code.

As Beastly only has 300 blues, he doesn't have enough stock to keep all the resellers happy. Not all of them can have a worthwhile share of the 300 so rather than upset some resellers by excluding them from the first batch, it would make sense to hold onto the 300 and ship them all on Tuesday.

I don't want a refund but I am am anxious to hear about the compensation as well and I certainly understand the frustration of the people in this thread.  These delays have taken us through two of the largest difficulty jumps ever and a big part of the coin these were going to mine in all of our calculations has gone poof.  

I'm mining for the long term and the Fury's power requirements should give it some longevity but the price paid was way too high for this batch especially given the delays.  I understood when I ordered that I was paying a premium for an early run batch but that premium was calculated on a timely delivery (or even a week late).  I was hoping to be a few feet underwater on these but now it feels like I'm under a thousand feet of seawater on these units.

Here's my constructive input on possible compensation options for this batch:
1.  Bitcoin compensation per unit.  This is probably the easiest way to do it as it would be a flat rate per unit.
2.  Possible additional units based on how many were ordered.  This could get tricky as people ordered a wide variety ranging from a single unit to dozens of units.
3.  A choice between #1 and #2.  This option would probably make people the most happy as they could choose based on their needs if they would prefer more horsepower or to recover some of their investment.
4.  Vouchers for steep discounts on additional units (I don't think this would go over well with a lot of people, and I personally wouldn't like it much either, but other companies have done it before so it wouldn't be a huge surprise).

I would still like to see pictures of the fully assembled units working as well.  Give people some pretty pictures and announce some details of the compensation plans and I think people will feel a lot more at ease!

Compensation has been decided. We will be compensating everyone 0.05BTC because of the delays.

These delays have been out of our hands and they have caused us a lot of issues and grief. We are sorry for the issues caused.

heres some things now:

1) No word of compensation to calm us down
2) 3 weeks late on shipping
3) Price went from BTC.9 to now they are being dumped @ BTC.5999 and only 300 have been shipped.

I want a refund im done with the games
1) Just announced
2) We are two weeks late. We first planned on shipping mid October
3) Maidak is selling at less then it cost to buy from us. That price is only for his last 20 units.

Thank you Beastlymac.  We have all been frustrated with the delays but I'm sure that you're just as frustrated with the way things have developed. 

I appreciate the way you are handling a situation that is largely beyond your control and offering compensation to protect your customers.  This is *VERY* refreshing to me in the current ASIC market where so many companies jerk their customers around and treat them like garbage.  Other ASIC companies should take notice of how you conduct business.

I'm still very excited for the miners to come and the way you have handled the situation ensures that I will be a future customer for additional products and continue to recommend your products to others.  I'm sure you guys have learned a lot from getting this batch through production and that future batches of products will go much smoother.

Can you confirm our payment and add us to authorized resellers? That payment should have cleared a while ago. I also sent you several pms that have gone unanswered, I am assuming because of the flood of messages and how busy you are assembling units.

Same for people who order via PayPal. Though I think it is only fair to not out added strain on groupbuy leads by asking for it in PayPal I think they would prefer if everyone took the compensation in btc.

@Beastlymac : How come the main resellers have not been sent any of these 300 blues? Each person I have spoken to has not received a tracking number and are not expecting a delivery.

It totally sucks... without the resellers group buys you would not have had enough orders to run your batch, you would have had nothing. Nice way to show your appreciation for their efforts. You have left them in the firing line taking the flak for your delays and when you had the opportunity it ease the pressure on them, you chose not to and just looked after a few select individuals.

0.05btc compensation is a joke. That doesn't nearly cover what we have lost due to the rise in diff or the price of btc. The next batch of Bluefury's will have to be priced competitively and will mean a substantial price reduction, so the 0.05btc you give us back will be absorbed in the new price.

When the price for the BlueFury's was set, it was competitive with USB Erupters. The 0.9btc for a BlueFury would have got you about 7 USB erupters and would have delivered roughly equal hashing power.
But the Blues shipped late and at today's rates, 0.9btc will now get you 20 USB erupters, giving you around 7GH/s... way more than a Bluefury.

So does the 0.05btc compensation ease the blow? Not at all.
Klintay received his because postage to him only took a day. The biggest reseller has been sent almost 150 units. But since he is in the US it will take longer to arrive. As far as you comment goes on compensation. Compensation comes out of our own pocket we have almost been destroyed by the delays that have been out of our hands. We have learnt a lot from out first run and having units shipping less then two week delay I feel we have accomplished something. We couldn't foresee asicminer dropping prices to 0.035 and we could not foresee all the holidays causing us issues. Then the forums went down and we had issues ordering chips. I would say we picked a very unlucky time to do a manufacturing run. But the units look good and I am happy with that. If you don't like the compensation feel free to donate it to your group buy lead has they have been through a tough stretch also. I don't think I have seen any other companies compensate people for two week delays. Also units are hashing on spec if not a little higher then advertised.

The reset button just resets the device almost like unplugging it. The program button doesn't do anything unless the reset button is held down. Even then you can just press the reset button and fix it.

Yes we are thinking about a batch 2 and we found a link to chips for considerably cheaper.

I totally concur.  I posted the following similar observation at ssinc's thread here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=296301.msg3420411#msg3420411):

Code:
Personally, a 0.05 BTC is an inadequate compensation considering all the factors that have been in play and the fact that at this very moment,
I can get 50 BEs (17 GH/s) with a free 49-port USB 2.0 hub for a mere 1.75 BTC.  That equates to 7 BFs at a cost of 6 BTC after the 0.05 discount
is applied (0.85 each)...and they don't come with a 49-port USB hub.

Amusingly, right on cue, some kumbaya lapdogs sort of got their panties in a bunch for merely pointing out such facts.  I'm surprised that you haven't gotten your share of the flak on here yet. ;)

How does what other manufacturers are doing to clear obsolete inventory effect what compensation you are due? How does the price of BTC effect that? If you wanted to speculate on BTC then you should have bought it rather than miners. How are they responsible for the rise in difficulty?
 
The product is about 2 weeks late, and 0.05 reflects what it might have mined in that time. They were not obliged to give it to you, but they did. That is far more than most other preorders have delivered.

Right on cue, eh?  Dude, you gotta chill out.  You are over-ANALyzing posts way too much.  Perhaps, you've been spending way too much time on these forums; an occasional break from it is usually helpful to get your feet back on the ground.

I've stated a fact and based on such a fact, I "personally" believe that the 0.05 BTC compensation/credit is inadequate.  That's all there is to it.  I don't need to elaborate why I feel so; you're not my shrink.  If you're happy with the compensation/credit that has been offered, then knock yourself out.  I couldn't care less.

some people didn't just buy the blues to mine with, some people bought them to resell them. The people that have bought them for resale, will have a very hard job selling them at their planned price point due to competitors prices dropping so much.

Not a lapdog. Just hate whiner victims like yourself that order risky products from risky manufacturers in a risky business then think they are entitled to compensation when it does not all happen to their liking. So they try to justify their whining using illogical comparison arguments in an attempt to prove they have been grievously wronged.  In reality they have no place in a group buy and we are dumber from reading their posts.
But no not a lapdog.

The 0.05btc compensation will be absorbed in the next batch. If the next batch of blues were going to be priced at 0.40btc, then the price will now be 0.45btc. The loss will be mitigated and will be no loss at all. (that price is an example, I have no idea what future prices of blues will be)

Also, some people didn't just buy the blues to mine with, some people bought them to resell them. The people that have bought them for resale, will have a very hard job selling them at their planned price point due to competitors prices dropping so much. When the price for the blues was set, it was set at a price that was in line with the current market. Why would someone buy a blue for £125-£150 to get 2.2GH/s when they can buy USB erupters for far less money and have far more hashing power? To sell the blues and be competitive with the market would mean taking a huge loss.

We should have been mining/selling the blues we ordered weeks ago but they haven't even been shipped yet. In that time the market and diff has changed vastly.

I feel a fairer form of compensation would have been a voucher for discount off the next purchase, just as asicminer did with the erupters. There would have been the opportunity to give a greater compensation as the discount could have be offset on the next batch with cheaper production costs and there would have still been room for some profit. Also, the profit margin would have been greater on the orders that did not have a voucher. Not only does this reward the people that invested their money to get the first batch produced, it would also serve to generate extra sales.


Ha! They are responsible for rise in difficulty?  These guys are more connected than I thought.

They stated the compensation.

You have made a case for more compensation.

They will take that under advisement and respond.


---

Don't really see the issue here. I am sure that in good time the BlueFury guys will let you know. I got no real dog in this fight but I am pretty sure these guys are reasonable so let them respond to your suggestion. All about the communication really. Given the tight margins not sure what is fair for either side and where a fair consensus could be made for compensation but give the BlueFury guys some chops for acknowledging the short coming and responding. Still not happy fair enough give them a chance to respond or put clearly what you expect the compensation to be in BTC terms. They are willing and able to listen to their customers and will do what they can within reason to resolve this with community.

For people who are asking why we didn't go with coupons.
1) We have no guarantee if we will be doing another batch.
2) I don't feel it is fair as it almost forces people to buy more items to gain any value.
3) I asked groupbuy leaders and they preferred compensation over coupons.
4) Compensation is easier to organise for everyone involved.
5) I felt that the majority of people preferred compensation over coupons.

At the risk of being labeled a lapdog, I gotta agree with you on both points. 

You might want to remember that when it was offered a month and a half ago, the asking price of 18 MHash/s/$ was identical to what ASICMiner was charging for erupters and identical to what BFL is charging for Jalapeno's and identical to what Terahash is charging for klondike 16's.  That's right, all four of the "low end" products were charging the same price per hash.  Way too much, but that was "market price."

Anyone who is "starting to realize that mining equipment is a bad investment" is many months too late.  That is, except for the pick and shovel vendors.  They are still making money selling mining equipment to those who haven't realized it yet.

"market price" today is in the 50-80 MHash/s/$.  It looks like it will be over 100 by years end.

And, even at that, I doubt any are a "good investment".  But at the 100 dollars or less price point, they are good fun for hobbyists like me

Yes - these USB's fit a number of needs quite well
     *Novelty items
     *Equipment for the very casual miners who know full well there will be no profit made.
     *Those with a very limited budget that just want to participate in the fun.
     *Resellers

Anyone having a conniption due to profit loss from the two week delay is over invested in a dream these miners will not fulfill.  Or naive and greedy.

@Beastlymac : How come the main resellers have not been sent any of these 300 blues? Each person I have spoken to has not received a tracking number and are not expecting a delivery.

It totally sucks... without the resellers group buys you would not have had enough orders to run your batch, you would have had nothing. Nice way to show your appreciation for their efforts. You have left them in the firing line taking the flak for your delays and when you had the opportunity it ease the pressure on them, you chose not to and just looked after a few select individuals.

0.05btc compensation is a joke. That doesn't nearly cover what we have lost due to the rise in diff or the price of btc. The next batch of Bluefury's will have to be priced competitively and will mean a substantial price reduction, so the 0.05btc you give us back will be absorbed in the new price.

When the price for the BlueFury's was set, it was competitive with USB Erupters. The 0.9btc for a BlueFury would have got you about 7 USB erupters and would have delivered roughly equal hashing power.
But the Blues shipped late and at today's rates, 0.9btc will now get you 20 USB erupters, giving you around 7GH/s... way more than a Bluefury.

So does the 0.05btc compensation ease the blow? Not at all.

I totally concur.  I posted the following similar observation at ssinc's thread here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=296301.msg3420411#msg3420411):

Code:
Personally, a 0.05 BTC is an inadequate compensation considering all the factors that have been in play and the fact that at this very moment,
I can get 50 BEs (17 GH/s) with a free 49-port USB 2.0 hub for a mere 1.75 BTC.  That equates to 7 BFs at a cost of 6 BTC after the 0.05 discount
is applied (0.85 each)...and they don't come with a 49-port USB hub.

Amusingly, right on cue, some kumbaya lapdogs sort of got their panties in a bunch for merely pointing out such facts.  I'm surprised that you haven't gotten your share of the flak on here yet. ;)


Not a lapdog. Just hate whiner victims like yourself that order risky products from risky manufacturers in a risky business then think they are entitled to compensation when it does not all happen to their liking. So they try to justify their whining using illogical comparison arguments in an attempt to prove they have been grievously wronged.  In reality they have no place in a group buy and we are dumber from reading their posts.
But no not a lapdog.

Hmmm...must've struck a nerve.  I have never mentioned you in any of my posts nor did I whine that I was entitled to more compensation or that I demanded a refund or that I said I was wronged.  Yet, here you are; right on cue.  Please back your statement up by quoting my posts wherein I stated so.  I was merely stating facts in relation to the compensation/credit that has been offered and presented my own "personal" (i.e. only applicable to my situation) view or opinion on the matter.  Which part of it is illogical?  The big question is: why does it bother or irritate you?

To reiterate, why are you so upset about my statement which is as follows:

Code:
Personally, a 0.05 BTC is an inadequate compensation considering all the factors that have been in play and the fact that at this very moment,
I can get 50 BEs (17 GH/s) with a free 49-port USB 2.0 hub for a mere 1.75 BTC.  That equates to 7 BFs at a cost of 6 BTC after the 0.05 discount
is applied (0.85 each)...and they don't come with a 49-port USB hub.

I presented facts that are readily available and already common knowledge on here.  As the saying goes, "don't shoot the messenger"!  Perhaps you're too emotionally invested in this endeavor to an extent that you're getting paranoid.  You should slow down a bit and reground yourself.

Purely as a miner, I don't see myself disagreeing to such a sound statement.  On the other hand, if I were selling these devices for profit, I can sort of see such a statement as a trivial threat to my marketing effort.  The funny thing is that the boys who have the biggest stake in marketing the BFs (Beastlymac and the rest of the BPMC team, ssinc, etc.) didn't even pay any attention to my statement.  They obviously are rational folks and know better.

Right on cue, eh?  Dude, you gotta chill out.  You are over-ANALyzing posts way too much.  Perhaps, you've been spending way too much time on these forums; an occasional break from it is usually helpful to get your feet back on the ground.

I've stated a fact and based on such a fact, I "personally" believe that the 0.05 BTC compensation/credit is inadequate.  That's all there is to it.  I don't need to elaborate why I feel so; you're not my shrink.  If you're happy with the compensation/credit that has been offered, then knock yourself out.  I couldn't care less.

You cued it.

You made an argument as to why you thought the compensation was inadequate, I disagreed that's all. I don't think that is over analysing anything. I bought these to resell, and I'll probably take a small loss. That's my problem, I took a risk and the reward didn't come off. My feet are firmly on the ground.

Just got my BF and it's running on Win7 with BFGminer 3.4.0, but the results are strange.  The hash rate is about 2.26GH/S and the HW error rate is HUGE ~ 61% after more than 40 minutes.  Tried resetting BFG, reinserting the device but there is no change.  Is it faulty?

More exploration:  using the older bfgminer 3.2.0 with the original batch file seems to solve the high H rate.  The hash rate remains however close to 2.26 GH/sec.

It shouldn't have any issues can you try our version of bfgminer for windows? Or cgminer or our version of bfgminer on Ubuntu or raspbian.

Having trouble getting these to run on Windows. I installed them and updated the drivers manually. The ports start at 143 since I installed so many block erupters and hubs, not sure if that is part of the problem.

I tried the alpha drivers and ran #mine.bat and I get an error that I do not have permission to open the com port that the bit fury miner is on. I get the same error if I try to use the 3.5 version of cg miner. I have tried disabling all other devices, rebooting, and using other mining programs, but I cannot get these to run. I am going to try this on one of my RPis since I cannot get them working on Windows unless someone here can hopefully help.

Follow the directions to install the driver, if you are using windows 8 - 8.1 you need to disable driver signing verification.

Then edit the batch script that came with the driver pack "#mine.bat" or create a new one and paste the code below:

Code:
@echo off
@setlocal enableextensions

:: ### SETTINGS #####################################
set poolurl=
set workername=
set workerpass=
:: ##################################################

@cd /d "%~dp0"

title BitFury - Mining Script
set ROOT=%CD%
cd %CD%

echo -------------------------------------------------
echo ---------- BitFury - Mining Script --------------
echo ------------- by: Pyrex@tisnetworks.net ---------
echo -------------------------------------------------
echo.

goto Check_Permissions

:Check_Permissions
    echo Administrative permissions required.
    echo Detecting permissions...
    echo.

    net session >nul 2>&1
    if %errorLevel% == 0 (
        echo Success: Administrative permissions confirmed!
        echo.
goto MiningStart
    ) else (
        echo Failure: Current permissions inadequate!
goto Quit
    )

:MiningStart
bfgminer.exe -S "BF1:all" -o %poolurl% -u %workername% -p %workerpass%
echo Press anykey to Exit!
goto Quit

:Quit
pause >NUL

Then just edit the variables at the top of the batch script inside the settings comment block: poolurl, workername, workerpass

Example:

Code:
:: ### SETTINGS #####################################
set poolurl=stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333
set workername=Pyrex.Worker1
set workerpass=password1
:: ##################################################

Then just run the batch script as administrator and it will work just fine!

Enjoy man!

Trying to get it to work together with my block erupters with bfgminer 3.3.0 on OS X.
Using the command "bfgminer -S /dev/cu.usbmodemfd534121 --scan-serial erupter:all"
(/dev/cu.usbmodemfd534121 is the address of the blue fury)

It picks up all the erupters, but I always get "/dev/cu.usbmodemfd534121 is already in use by another process"
I've tried restarting and RSTing multiple times, but I still always get that error.

I also tried just doing "bfgminer -S /dev/cu.usbmodemfd534121" (to see if it by itself, without the erupters, would work) but got the same error.

Has anyone had any luck with this, or know what's causing it?

That may be true, but these use only a fraction of the power of a blade.

For the same power consumption of one 10 GH blade, you can run 30 Blue Fury units totalling 60 GH or more.

Also, does that BTC1.1 include a power supply?

or the price of hosting a stratum proxy and the greater cost of network swithces vs usb hubs? After the pain of setting up two old style blades i swore to myself that i would not buy another at any price.

My Blue Furys are mining at 2.3ghs. I will be back at work on monday need some help troubleshooting them to get to 2.6ghs. i am not going to buy more of these from beastlymac or his distributors. seems like oaxaca is selling his cheaper anyway and they look more professional. i am going to order one of oaxacas bitfury usb and compare the two side by side.

I just ordered 2 more asicminer blades off amazon.com for 199 and im going to keep ordering those til i have a 10 stack.

ill be honest beastlymac, i think you did a good job and your distributors did a good job also, but i feel overcharged and not hashing at advertised speeds. even with your custom bfgminer and following instructions to the T.

My Blue Furys are mining at 2.3ghs. I will be back at work on monday need some help troubleshooting them to get to 2.6ghs. i am not going to buy more of these from beastlymac or his distributors. seems like oaxaca is selling his cheaper anyway and they look more professional. i am going to order one of oaxacas bitfury usb and compare the two side by side.

I just ordered 2 more asicminer blades off amazon.com for 199 and im going to keep ordering those til i have a 10 stack.

ill be honest beastlymac, i think you did a good job and your distributors did a good job also, but i feel overcharged and not hashing at advertised speeds. even with your custom bfgminer and following instructions to the T.


Yes we are aware of the issues. The hashrate it gradually being pushed up but without modifying the resistor on the board and risking a unstable device for customers the max we can get is 2.4 that is the same for the red fury device.

To the people saying the price is to high. These are sold out if we make a next batch the pricing will be drastically different.

Thanks

Four times as fast, using 83w... roughly 16.6 times more power consumption... it's not always about speed, there are several other factors that come into play... Not to mention how much heat blades put off and the cooling needed for them...

These are highly efficient for what they are...

If I hold the a blue fury with the USB connector pointing up and look at the fury chip there are tags to the top, left and bottom that have solder loops joining some of the tags but no tags on the right hand side joined together. No blue fury that I have has the same set of tags joined by solder.

Can someone please confirm that the tags for the top, left and bottom are all joined together on the board and the tags make no difference?



EDIT: Wrong thread, I will post in the support thread.

So, with the faulty BlueFury miners not having been replaced, and an offer of NanoFurys as replacement (which also haven't appeared due to component shortages), some of us are now looking refunds. Even if shipped to Europe on Monday, it'll be well in to the second week of the new year before they get to us.

That means more than 2 months to get a replacement.

What are the chances of a full refund?  Slim?  None?

Chances of refund should be high imo.

Word of warning to anyone buying from BPM - just don't. Delays in shipping, delays in replacements, product fell short of advertised speeds. When questioned on this, the reply is "oh our prototype chips must have been a better grade and we got lucky".

pfff

Beastly - you still owe me one Bluefury.

There is no "BPM". Let us just clarify that. Beastly has not been able like the rest of us to change our avatars.

It's a little late (read a month), and I hope the compensation is enough to cover what these things would have mined if they had have worked in the first place.

I am not sure why you have crossed out BPM on my post, should I have put Beastly's name there instead? Because the reseller doesn't have my BTC, he got shafted far more by BPM than any of the people that bought the blues.

You say to keep talking to them but who exactly do we talk to?

The scary thing for me is, the people that really control BPM remain unknown to this community, they are faceless and nameless. In this community, Beastly has been the face and voice of BPM but he is not the man in charge. Many people that have bought Bluefury's have had such a bad experience, we have chosen to never do any kind of business with that company again. But now, the people behind BPM, can regroup, make a new company and we could end up going through the same experiences once again.

I am trying my hardest to get the person who is in charge of fabrication to get replacement units shipped out ASAP. I can only go on the information that I have been told (like it has been the whole time) and that is that replacement units and extras will be shipped out next week. If you have any other questions I will try and find out the answer for you. I try and relay information as quickly as I can and it happens often that information I am given is either incorrect or it is interpreted wrong. The Blue Fury run had many issues caused by fab and what seems to also just be bad luck.


Thanks

I'm guessing the same fab that:

1. Ran out of components
2. Is now making the NanoFury.
3. Fitted totally and utterly inadequate heat sinks to the BlueFury


I can't say my confidence is inspired.

I can only quote my own experiences but:-

Bitfury are not the worst..............................

Asic erupters 69...sticks 23Gh...cost £3671 including scammers.......earnings over power costs..........November.........19/1

Chili (Mr Teal)    1.. unit 35Gh...cost £512  including duties.............earnings over power costs..........November.........23/1

BlueFury 8 here 2 Ebay  23Gh...cost £897  including duties.............earnings over power costs..........November........135/1

Now we are in December

Cointamination/Chili.......cost £600 and rising.......now no better than BFL (8 weeks late and counting)........0.0Gh

Asic count is now only 68.............RIP 1 asic   22.7Gh
Chili BANG..................................RIP 1 chili     0.0Gh
Blue's...still got 10 sticks.............................   23Gh


By deduction Fury sticks are the most reliable, cost effective, least delayed device on the market..........(for me).................but none of them will ever ROI


Edit:-  And a stack of overworked GPU's in the shed ..... 0.0Gh

There is no Big Picture Mining... at all. So your reference means nothing. You might want to ask Beastly who it is that SCREWED him. It certainly wasn't BPM as it didn't exist at the time these units went into production. Just want to clarify for you. The reason I am concerned is that I was a member of that group and the name should not get dragged into issue of production for the RedFury or BlueFury considering BPM did not fabricate either as a single entity. What happened was some of the people from the former BPM did set out on their own but agreed to pay royalties to former members if they had shared in the cost of development of the original design. The people that Beastly is / was working with are the only people so far to live up that agreement.

Post by: Zammo on December 16, 2013, 11:18:03 PM
Why don't you give us some names? All you have done is further conceal the identities of the people involved and try to distance yourself and BPM from any involvement. I guess people now know what to expect if they are doing business with you and things go bad, you clearly are not one to take any responsibility. If there were other parties involved, name them.

How can you say BPM didn't exist when the Bluefury miners went into production? That is complete crap. Beastly was the face for BPM and organised the sales of Bluefury miners on behalf of BPM. BPM were certainly proud to announce the Bluefury miners as their own. Now when things go bad, you say it was nothing to do with BPM?

Who's got my BTC?

I ask again, who do we talk to about getting these issues resolved?

Post by: Bicknellski on December 17, 2013, 11:49:30 AM
Don't have any names to give I was never part of this project. Beastly is the contact. From what I know of him he will do whatever is required to help rectify your issues.

Got my own projects to worry about. Just so we get the story right though. No BPM exists and was dissolved before it had anything to do with the Bluefury build and I sincerely hope those in the Bluefury project responsible fix the problems and reimburse you fully.
