Bitcoin Forum

Hello,

That's right, they're back.  RED FURY, complete with red PCB, red LED, red heatsink.  They are in hand and ready to ship.  It has become apparent that nobody likes pre-orders, so no pre-orders here.  You pay, We ship, You mine.

simple.
-------
edit
OK, you have spoken and we listen.  Price has been lowered to reflect the rapidly rising BTC/USD exchange rate.
-------
Price is 0.32 BTC per unit.  USPS Priority Shipping to US addresses is included.  Shipping to anywhere outside the US can be done, but we have to agree on method.  You pay exact shipping charges, no handling or other bullshit.

To order, simply PM me and I will give you an address to transfer to.  It will include a random number of satoshi to verify you.  For instance;   1 unit at .32000003 BTC

Get 'em while they're HOT!

Sorry, this batch is sold out.  See you soon...

sorry but overpriced.(

for example 1Gh on cex.io now cost ~0.1BTC and 1GH of erupter blade ~0.15BTC

so competitive price price for this gadget is ~0.25BTC - 0.3BTC - but definitely not 0.6BTC

I was just doing the math myself.. They would never ROI... Like.. NEVER. =(

there is no HW on the market with positive ROI...manufacturers are so greedy.)

Well at least close to ROI would be nice... If I purchased 7 of these like I had considered it would cost about $800 and get me about 18.2 GH/s while an Avalon Mini at $800 or 4 BTC is 60 GH/s.

=(

It wasn't but a few short weeks ago when people were falling all over themselves buying .333GH/s Erupters for .6 BTC.  And now 2.5GH/s is considered overpriced at .6 BTC.  Crazy times we're living in!

Overpriced or not... they are friggin' sexy!   :-*

We spent a little extra on the heatsinks.  It was worth it!

Am I to understand that you guys risked your own money to sell "in stock" miners with no pre-sales?
 :o
That alone might get me to buy a couple.

way to expensive. good luck with selling these to noobs

I'm sure noobs don't mind buying it for the novelty factor.
I definitely won't buy it just for mining sake.

Nice miners to learn about the ins and outs at a reasonably low entry point.

At this point I think buying USB miners is not about the ROI but rather about helping new miners enter the market without throwing 1000$ into a black hole. Just my take on them at this point.

Shipping today...nice.

As everyone says, a bit over priced.  I'll buy one when they get cheaper.  I know I'll never get ROI, but I can get closer and lie to myself for the sake of cool new tech :P

2,6ghas not enough to pay bills u need 100 of them=12 000$ knc Saturn 3000$ and the price will drop in December because the whole miner materials cost not more then 500$ the jew i. Sweden need money

If you'd rather save your BTC, they're for sale on eBay for about the same price...

I might buy a couple more to go with the 4 prototypes I bought awhile back.  I don't care that they won't earn back their investment as long as I can use PayPal.  And I'm happy to support projects like this!  :)

Nice positive spin to put on it, but we should not be encouraging people to join with a negative income tax.  If someone wants to get into BTC they'd be better off buying the same amount as the price of a unit that won't pay for itself so they can make transactions, try paying for something online, etc. 

Dude...

What part of I agree you can't ROI and these things are nice stocking stuffers is spin?

You really lost the plot you are arguing with no one at this point and just talking to hear yourself talk.

OK folks,

You want a lower price?  You got it.  RED FURY is now .52 BTC.  See original posting for ordering instructions.

There is no point in helping new miners enter the market purely to ensure folks who made hardware make their money back.  Props to folks who make hardware, but again, mining is a toxic part of BTC right now and there are much more beneficial things that a person can do to "get into BTC" than to sink money into mining.

yes like buy BTC on the next dip below $100

no miners or new hardware = btc died xD

Suppose you want 30 Gh/s. Here is one choice:

11.5 Red fury units for just about 6 BTC, which is just about $1200.

Here is another choice:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Butterfly-labs-30-gh-bitcoin-miner-In-Hand-/380749003863?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item58a668bc57

30 GH/S BFL delivered to your door for $685.00 Same hash rate for roughly half the price.

So yeah, buy one Red Fury if you only want one. But only if all you will ever want is one. They need to dash the prices in half before they are more attractive than other available options.

Or buy one blade eruptor for 1.1 BTC, don't have to deal with any hubs that way either. More than double the hashrate for the same price, and no $$ wasted on hubs.

Plus you can overclock them  ;D

alot of guys dont have the knowhow to config or install the blades

I would like some but the price is far too high. For 0.6btc I could buy 14 USB erupters and have double the hashing power.

"alot" of guys must be total idiots than   ??? ???

Easier to set a blade up than one of these USB miners I bet  :D

hehe

ok what i need only a blade ( or extra fan, atx power etc ) ?

I have to agree completely.  when I got my first blade it only took me 10 minutes to have it up and hashing for me....my USB eruptors took significantly longer!

Yes, you need 12V (doesn't have to be ATX) and you could even jack that from your PC's power supply if you have the extra overhead. You also need fans, at least one. It would be cheaper to power and cool a blade than buying a suitable hub for 10gh/s of these USB things. It would be more cost effective to scale a blade setup than USB as well. Imagine 108gh/s of these USB things!

Drivers for block eruptors are a extreme pita, plus I've seen hundreds of posts from newbies running ten deep on a 2A 5V supply wondering why they don't have any coins yet.

You will never make your 0.52 BTC back with this.

Nice color. I like the way they look but one question. 

Why is the heatsink vents running down to the base of the hub instead of across the device which would give it better air flow?

The usb miners that I have running right now have a fan blowing across the rows of miners, not straight down into the hub.  You need air flowing not running into a wall.

If I can do it, anyone can!  Thankfully there a lot of experienced people on these forums willing to help or I'd still be ripping my hair out, lol.

Probably because the majority of users are using those little white USB fans and are positioning them to blow down onto the top of the sticks.  Not the best way to do it but the most practical.

Thanks, we spent a little extra to make them uber sexy.


I tested a variety of fans and have settled on the smallest, lowest airflow model.  The miners aren't even warm.

"Price is 0.49 BTC per unit.  USPS Priority Shipping to US addresses is included.  Shipping to anywhere outside the US can be done, but we have to agree on method.  You pay exact shipping charges, no handling or other bullshit"

i ordered one on ebay do i get a new discount price?

will take an old usb stick too :P

Still won't ROI at .52 btc sorry. Sell them at .25 or .33 guarantee you will see sales in that range.

I want one just to display it next to the two machines with a total of 8x ATI Radeon 6950's eating 1800w, which hashed at the same speed back in the good old days.

Even at 0.49 these are WAY too expensive.

Even at 0.25 they will only ever make back 50% of their investment:

http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/a/4c01686790  (http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/a/4c01686790)

Theses would have been awesme and would have sold like hotcakes 2 months ago. Now? Not so much.

Any chance of an official dealer in Europe?

Mining goes nowhere but big pools at these prices...  :-\

@0.1 i would consider buying some just for fun.

is expensive and not have dealer europe

Pays for itself at current rates in just over four months. The difficulty may change
that soon.

FTFY

Hey oaxaca:

Are you able to list a price in US$?  (due to btc jumping up kinda fast).

I think $10/GH at the moment would be fair for the next month, which is probably getting closer to your cost unfortunately.  You'd better unload them soon, or just go ahead and mine as the difficulty increases we've seen so far are nothing compared to what's coming in the next 1-3 months.

I could probably grab a bunch of them in Jakarata locally if the price is right.

Very nice work btw - beautiful little creations!

RedFury coverage article at http://www.coindesk.com/redfury-2-6gh-usb-miner-now-available/

hmm.  i'll take some for about $25/each, offer good for 24hrs

we would love to sell at that price, unfortunately it cost us $25 for the bitfury chip alone (altho now they are sold at $20 per chip), not to mention the cost for the other 29 components (there are 30 kind of components in one USB, to give you an idea one of the component called ATMEL, it cost $3 per), also the fabrication cost, the red heatsink cost, the red PCB cost, the customs cost, the royalty we have to pay to our designer.

to quote the following article, http://www.coindesk.com/redfury-2-6gh-usb-miner-now-available/

Well, OK.  What is actual cost to make then?


ed: NM, I saw the ebay auction.  No way I'd even approach $100+, and it looks like you're doing fine there

Thanks, they are pretty cool.

Price lowered to reflect the rapidly rising BTC/USD exchange rate.

Than still, i do not beleve you, why can the let those Erupters go for 0.04 if the chip costs that much? I know it's probably a more expensive ASIC but cant be mad more, and you bought in bulk I assume...

Let them drop to .30 and you wil be out of stock in no-time.

Can you guys please post cgminer stats with units mining? And also units mining on p2pool. I would like to see if they are good alternative to USB Erupters, which have less than 1% Rejected rate on p2pool (that's mean they are designed very well).

0.2 - 0.3 btc is a good price

Yes, we have lowered the price to reflect the continuing jump in the BTC/USD exchange rate.

New price is .39 BTC

Get 'em now before something else happens...

kudos to you! at least you guys are honest and not fleecing noobs like asicminer...  :D

nice jump but now max. 0.2 btc is OK for the miner, the diff and BTC to high xD

Payment for 2 sent + postage, can you confirm all is well?
Thanks

Yes, we have lowered the price to reflect the continuing jump in the BTC/USD exchange rate.

New price is .35 BTC

Get 'em now before something else happens...

Check your PM!

Is there a Red Fury support thread and do these really hash at 2.6Gh/s or are they similar to the Blue Fury's and get closer to 2Gh/s?

I sent you a request one page back in thread:

Can you post cgminer results, would you, please?

bfgminer results too, pls!

I will buy some more if these drop down to 0.3 or less

They are exactly the same design so they get the exact same hashrate.

Nice price :)

Mine is hashing at 2.23 Gh/s on bfgminer.  Has or says 60%  hw errors.  But am getting work shares on mining pool

damn %60 is way too high for HW

try restart the bfgminer and/or the computer.

perhaps low power and bad cooling

$47 per GH is still way to expensive. Blades are currently $26/GH. Factoring in the ease of USB's these should be priced at 0.22BTC or less.

Update your bfgminer version to 3.5.1

These machines produce bitcoins and not $.
Price seems quite good actually for a plug and play device like this one.

Well in terms of BTC the pricing would need to be even lower. Currently these usb's will ever only make about 0.13 BTC, which should lower their cost to around 0.13 BTC, higher if they are greedy or lower if they want to help the community.

I was simply adding the USD/BTC conversions to help explain the high costs per power of these devices.

Well, the good news for miners is that the difficulty seems to be stabilizing now. Plus the BTC exchange rate against the dollar is doing really great. That's very good news for bitcoin miners. These devices look great for hobbyists and they ship immediately - no preorders needed here, a great plus.

Do you accept paypal? Also will you have a site up anytime soon?

thanks

I'll give you 1 bitcoin for 5 of them, until Friday.

now THIS is what the newbies/entry level people need!
I heavily hope that these products become the new BlockErupters!, Longlive bitcoin for the small guy!
Has anyone recieved a DOA unit? Or a "it broke early" unit? Whats the policy on that? Exchange for a new one at the cost of shipping?

Hi Oaxaca. how much in NZDs and shipping to get one to New Zealand?.thanks.

Hey!
How many of these are in a unit? How much would it cost to ship to UK?
Thanks
!

with the current BTC price, how much per unit shipped to East Coast USA?

Are these devices overclockable?

yes they are overclockable, the firmware is opensource
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=319419.msg3418141#msg3418141

Is there any way these can come down in price again as BTC is up well over $400 now

That isn't the firmware source code. The source code isn't open source. That is the hex file needed for flashing a device.

Looking to buy from you, please reply to my PM :) thanks

Im starting to think i'll regret my purchase... These were advertised to run at 2.6 gh/s, but every damn demo i've seen of them running shows them at 2.2gh/s
I'll be losing 3.2gh/s!!!(i bought 8.) if this is the case!, Thats more than whole unit's worth of hashrate!

If these damn things run at 2.2 im going to be demanding another one to be shipped to me free of charge due to false advertising.

Yeah id appreciate a reply to my question :c

hello offered 3.5 btc 30 usb shiping spain

lol, like their ghash/s really matters.  aren't they more of a novelty purchase?

if you think bitcoins will be around a while, you'd probably be better off never taking them out of their packaging

updated price??

Cool looking toys!

I was looking to buy 20 of these, but my PMs went unanswered.

I am looking to buy a large number of these, sent a pm to oaxaca, waiting to hear back.

received my 2 units today, just in time for some wkend mining. thanks oaxaca!

I know your super busy with PMs oaxaca, but let me know about the refund to the lower price. thx

Sorry to everyone who has been trying to reach me.  My day job is killing me right now.  I promise to answer all correspondence this weekend.

Looks like a good investment to buy one of these hopefully I decide to buy one later on

do they come in fancy packaging?  or is it such that it'd be impossible to tell if someone had actually opened a unit up and used it?

these will make about .02 bitcoins next difficulty level, which starts in about 36hrs.  deduct 20-30% from that for each 11 days following

Got 2 of these sexy babies running!

RedFury is SOLD OUT in 20 days :)

Why the heck are these advertised to run at 2.6gh and not the 2.2 that they actually do!?, ive basically been conned out of an entire unit because of the false advertising!, i cant see Anywhere that these run at 2.6, and i see it everywhere that they run at 2.2!, if my redfurys arrive running at 2.2 and cant easiley run at 2.6 (aka not a harsh overclock or temperatue increase) then im going to be demanding a units worth of btc at the least!

since you have assembly lines and manpower you guys should start building real miners that could hash 500-600 gh/s, we need reliable manufacturers...

Probably would have been sooner if you replied to people's PMs.

We'll see what we can do.

Mea Culpa

you can "overclock" them to 10-20% more hashrate by using pencil mod; http://youtu.be/h4mv_ddRUE8

That is absoluetly crude and rediculos, one can only Expect to experiance problems and decrease in durability!, How can you honestly lie and advertise these at a literally Scribbled Up hashrate that the units Do Not Run at unless you potentially destroy the device through sloppy "overclocking" by drawing on the damn device with a pencil!

Absoluetly rediculos! The devices are being falsely advertised as one must physically alter the device to make it run faster than it's designed to run!

This is absolutely unacceptable! Im out 3.2gh/s on my order!, conned out of a unit and a half!, and i would like that 1½'s units value that i paid for returned to me via btc!!

JackRabbit,
By the nature of the ASIC bitfury, they have slight variation of their hashrate, therefore back in september when we had pre orders, we stated that our usb miner powered by this bitfury chip rated at ranging hashrate.


Hope this clear some misconception.

plus have you tried the latest version of bfgminer or cgminer ?? some of our customers reported higher hashrate, this depend on your pc system.

That message clears alot up, but nowhere throught my pre-buy homework did i ever see such a message. Had i of known they were like this i would have only ordered half as many that i did.
I can see that you had no ill intention of misguiding customs into believing they would recieve something worse than advertised, it seems that you have just failed at ensuring that all customers read such an important message.

However i still feel "cheated" because that (disclaimer worthy) message about their actual performance was never shown to me until After i made the purchase, its not like i went "buybuybuy", i did research anout the product, and that message was nowherr to be found and something i never saw.
where is that messages' original location?

What comes next?

Stay Tuned!

What do the different lights mean?
Red
Yellow
Other?

David

To be fair, the hash rate has been clearly advertised in every thread I have seen to Red and Blue Fury miners. Check the Blue Fury support thread for some ways to improve your hashing power.

:S, damnit, i've pretty much screwed myself because the reseller (OP) didn't post or referance that information...
I understand that i will Potentially be able to get 2.6gh on each device, but doing so will add stress them and most likely reduce the lifespan of the device. I was hoping to have these in a cold secluded area and run for 5-10 years.

Oaxca, based on the factor that i made a purchase for 8 2.6gh/s bitfury miners, but they only run at 2.2 without choosing to reducing their lifespan, 20.8gh/s, but am getting 17.6gh/s, could i please be compensated for this miscommunication?
I feel that the $ value of one RFUSB unit converted to btc (at the time they were selling) would be fair because that is roughly how much hash power i dont have unless i stress all of the units.

What do you think should be done about this?
The eight units that I purchased are running at 18.5gh/s with a average H/W error of 4% on each unit, So i don't feel comfortable "pencil modding" them

Can you undo the mod by just using an eraser? I plan to just to test it out.

Can you point me to a how to for this pencil mod?

Thanks!

Well im back after trying to "pencil mod" three differant units each of wich had the lowest avrg of 3% HW errors and were running at 2.21-2.28, I gained nothing but more errors, hashrate didnt even increase, I followed instructions very specifically and even tried differant pencils, No luck.

one of them even stopped functioning compleatly at one point, after erasing the invisible amounts of pencil that i had added, the unit started to work again at it's normal rate

I'm extremely upset with my purchase, I cannot gain any speed on them regardless of temperature because they just toss out more HW errors, and even after erasing all the pencil the units have still retained 1% more errors

also
I would also like to know as some of my units blink from yellow to red and some blink red to off to red

the red to red ones need for you to press the reset button. They are hashing fine.

?

red - red = ok?
red - yellow = ?
no light = ?

which of the 2 buttons are the reset?
Should you reset while cgiminer is running, or quit first?

David

one is labeled RST for reset, the other is label PRG(or PROG), for Programming

Red-Red-blink means that it needs a reset? What? why? explain please, as my Red-Yellow-blinking one is tossing out the most H/W errors and the lowest hashrate were as All my other ones are just blinking away Red-Red (still all tossing out 3-5% H/W errors wich REALLY pisses me off)
My Red-Yellow-blinking one is plugged into a USB 3.0 outlet and none of the others are, Perhaps this is why? but more importantly, WHAT THE HECK DOES IT MEAN?!

Looking out for an update soon... :)

Im still waiting for oaxaca to reply to me about my enquiry regarding advertised performance and actual performance.
Won't respond to PM's even though he signs on everyday

Its friday now, still no update on production... :-[

oaxaca, when the next batch will be able to sell?
I want some reds, too :)

I'm also looking to buy. Keep us updated! :)

I'm very interested in these. I missed the boat. Hope you'll produce another run. Thanks.
