I wonder if anyone has any further info on these or the user selling them? :-

UPDATE

I guess its the same as this thread:-

Wow, this is nice... How much wattage did all your red fury takes?

123.00 x 10 = 1230

2.6 (optimum) x 10 = 26


lets put that all together hey ..

$1230 for 26 GH in the hand.

ok its still cheaper than the pipe-dreams i see on ebay.

but i'd say:


 "supporting the network..." charity , if you are into charity i guess ?

its price not bad for today. But it is a bad investment for future.

It will never recoup as any other ASIC sold today!

Nice thing that you bought, but I think it can hardly ROI although its still nice to have...

+1

You'll never recoup your cost.

Yeah, I bought three of these and now I'm wishing I hadn't. Exponential difficulty increases will kill their profitability very quickly.

Really nice looking USB ASIC... good for showing off right? Too bad the expected profit isn't good or I will buy it too....

These are a lot cheaper than those old 335's were when they first came out. I was tempted to get some to replace my old sticks but I don't think I could get much for em.

does anyone know where to get drivers for red fury
 ???

I thought the latest version of cgminer supports it, but not 100% sure of that.

cgminer supports it natively, and like all usb devices on cgminer, you need to associate the winusb driver with it (see ASIC-README)

Just buy a hashbuster which mines 2.7Gh/s for 0.3btc. Much cheaper then this

You can get AntMiners (1.6GH/s) that can be overclocked to 2.2GH/s (with adequate cooling) for around $80 USD. This is an alternative I have chosen more-so for fun and understanding of SHA256 mining. I don't think they're all that worth it; scrypt mining is the way to go.

I guess you didn't notice the thread was old. :P

Is it worth buying a bunch of these for $90 USD each?

Not if you ever want to make your money back.  A single Red Fury at 2.2Gh/s (which is what they typically run at) will mine 0.0004 BTC per day at the current difficulty.

Paying that price won't mean anything in future its good for today tough !!!!! it should be i guess 80$

red fury will do 2.5 an anminer will do 2.0 (not 2.2)   ant miner is .044 btc   so 25/20 x .044 = .055 btc  x 590 usd =  32.45 a stick



basing my ant miner price   from here.

red fury sticks are nice but cost to much


ice fury sticks are nice nut cost too much.

get antminers


BTW even antminers will not make roi in terms of btc.  unless you can run them for free at the office/dorm/school

Will this device run on bitminter client?
