You should have sold on here. What are your ebay links? I have been slowly accumulating miners and sometimes good buys on older equipment as well. I started dumping my cubes today on amazon/ebay. Now I'm only ordering equipment that's 200+ghz (mostly the antminers)

Ok I have an odd question.
If I run BFG from the MuM folder and save my config from within BFG, when I then launch MuM is it using the config I saved in BFG?
I had fooled around with my BiFury in BFG like that clocking it to the top with BFG getting 6.8gh/s with lots a huge error rate and accidentally saved the config in BFG.
When I fired up MuM it clocked to 6.8gh/s just like in pure BFG.

I would just be happy to get a few of these in hand without having to lose the arm to get them.

Ah I understand now. I kept thinking it would be easier to implement. It gets nuts adding arguments for multiple devices in the one box. How about setting it up so if you right click on each device listed there is a menu that you can add the arguments there.
This would facilitate easier individual settings for each device without having to make long strings manually in the advanced miner section where mistakes are easily made.
It is one of the items on the wish-list already. It will take some thought because some arguments can simply be appendedand others would need to be changed (such as taking two --thread-concurrency arguments and converting their values to comma-separated). This means MultiMiner needing to have a pretty deep understanding of every device argument that bfgminer understands. Again it's on the wish-list but just not straight-forward to implement. |

I have a wish list item for MultiMiner. I thought of this as I was adding arguments for my RedFuries. How about setting it up so if you right click on each device listed there is a menu that you can add the arguments there. This would facilitate easier individual settings for each device without having to make long strings manually in the advanced miner section where mistakes are easily made. Hopefully in the near future.  |

I'm the only one I know with BTC. One I get my new miner I will be able to be the guy they all buy from. Should be this week. getcoincafe.com looks good and quick, but the price is *not* equivalent to bitstamp. Currently bitstamp is $790 and coin cafe $843.
I forgot to mention the most obvious option. You can ask someone you know to sell you a bitcoin. That is how I got started initially. I just handed him cash, and he sent me bitcoins immediately. Nice and easy.. yep, buy btc from friends, if you dont know anyone with bitcoin, become that guy. become that guy by buying asap from any of the options listed above. personally I like coinbase, its easy for me. Id prefer to use a exchange i can set bids at and scoop low prices on dips but I honestly feel a coin bought today, is a coin I'll be happy to have bought a year from now, and as such i dont mind paying a little more then the minimum possible, to avoid missing a chance should the price take off while im waiting for a dip. |

I did not know that. I was thought it supported all of those as it uses the BFG? Did you try MinePeon instead on the PI? It seems to run much smoother and have far less problems. I got some issues with mixed UE and NF setup... it works fine on windows 8.1 but can't get it to work on my RPI. I installed raspbian and installed hidapi (correctly) then used git clone to get bfgminer.
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-icarus --enable-nanofury --enable-bitfury && make
but whenever I execute bfgminer, I get this error: mcp2210 lowlevel driver failed to open it
it connects just fine to my usb erupters after that, but it keeps spamming:
[2014-01-26 14:01:43] nanofury_lowl_probe: Matched "NanoFury NF1 YellowJacket" serial "0000099250", but mcp2210 lowlevel driver failed to open it
is this a driver issue? if so, is there a fix for this?
minepeon doesn't even support nanofury  |

I as thinking the same thing. I would love to get 3 or 4 of these but the price is crazy high. It would be very tight for sure. My power consumption is becoming insane ( nearing 3kwh ) so I'll gladly do the math for me to see if it's beneficial.
For me 1kw electricity 24/7 31days is 178euro.
My 4* 280x rig uses ~1.110kwh and delivers 2.88MH ( including setup )
41* Dual miners would use ~ 103kwh and devilers 2.87MH (excl setup , anker usb hub + fan uses ~3.5w )
So my electricity cost just went from ~200e to ~19e , let's say I am saving 180e a month
Cost :
full 280x setup ~1600e
full dual miner setup : ~4000euro excl shipping+taxes
so a ROI of over a year.
You should be able to build cheaper high hashing rate LTC only miner with DualMiner USB. Please remember, DualMiner USB are priced with volume discount; * Price (per unit) 1~9 $98 ea. Full Price (FP) 10~49 $92.12 ea. 94%FP 50~99 $88.20 ea. 90%FP 100~299 $83.30 ea. 85%FP >=300 $79.38 ea. 81%FP Try your best to take the advantage of our volume discount program. Our Chinese partner uses lots of Orico P10-U2 USB2.0 hub, which you could get it for low $20s/unit, for its production testing purposes. Each Orico P10-U2 could host 10 DualMiner USB devices for mining. So, you could build your own 4.2Mh/s miner with 60 DualMiner USB devices + 6 P10-U2 hubs with the cost of $4762.8 (60x79.38, assuming you could get the unit price $79.38 for each DualMiner USB) + $175($25x7) = $4937.8. imho it's too expensive but the advantage is power saving n less hassle & noise ! i paid approx usd 5000 to get 7 r9 290's 2 axi corsair psu 1 mobo , ram, cpu & i'm hashing away @ 6mhs+ (i have mobo n extra psu @ home) well just my opinion. computer parts can sell ! usb sticks hmmm well u tell me & it's too light to be paperweight these sticks only make sense to some one that will sell some on ebay. and keep some to mine. The price is too high. especially for a winter roll out. I am in New Jersey I am burning 1600 watts for mining and what do I get for 1600 watts 4 pc's pushing 2600kh for lite coin and 100 usb sticks pushing 210 gh for btc. All my gear is paid for /roi'd. so If I want to sell some of the usb sticks and swap this in does It makes some sense? Not really. If I want to kill off a gpu and put some of these sticks in does it pay to do so? yes , but since I am getting free heat I will wait until April or May. I know there are miners that would want these more then I do as they live in warmer areas or have really high power costs. My 4 gpu pcs. burn 1140 watts to get the 2600kh for lite coin. I burn 460 watts to get the 210 gh for btc. The lite coin is clearing more then 400usd a month,but I think I will buy a few of these just to say I have some. If I compare one of these at 92 usd vs 1 ant miner at 46 usd. what is the better value? I can get an antminer for 46 usd sent to my home in 3 days. Then mine it for 10 days and sell it on ebay for 59 dollars or better yet 3 x antminers = 138 usd. Use them to mine for 10 days and sell on ebay as a set of 3 for 177 usd. If I do this 20 or 30 times and eventually I have a lot of no cost antminers. I am not sure I can do the same idea with these sticks ,but I will give it a shot . I think I will wait until after Chinese new years ends. BTW Just a suggestion 01-09 = 98.00 10 -49 = 92.12 50-99 = 88.20 this pricing setup may work better for you. a level of 1-9 = 98.00 a level of 10-24 = 92.75 a level at 25-49 = 89.10 a level at 50 -100 = 87.70 many resellers can't push to 50 x 88.20 = 4410 usd but they can do 25 x 89.10 = 2227.50 usd you would be more likely to get a decent amount of orders from a seller that wants to run 10 and sell 15 on ebay. |

Thanks.  I just wish I could afford a couple more of them they work great and don't cause conflicts with my RedFuries or other USB ASIC's. Here is what I am getting with mine. I might try lowering the Oscillating a bit to see if it reduces errors but this is un-overclocked. Runs great and cool with and Artic Breeze fan on it.  Good for you ManeBjorn ! You nail it |

Even better. MultiMiner is a complete GUI for BFGminer. It works great and nwools who develops it works with Luke on BFG as well. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=248173.0It's great and easy to use.
Is there an easy way to present BFGminer in a tab on a windows browser, instead of a terminal on the desktop?

LOL I wish. I actually thing it came from a hospital. Sad thing is I have about 2lbs of lead in a box somewhere in the basement. It was an old doorstop.
I don't even know where I got the thing when I was a kid.
That is the most badass doorstop i've ever heard of. Did you live in a blacksmith's workshop? Lol |

Yes it's not too bad. The best part is I can buy right from my card instead of all the wire transfers and trying to find a bank up here in the boonies for deposits and such. $808.19 right now. Yesterday it was $788 something. Very true. Coinbase finally got set ok so monday I can do instant buys. Very frustrating to have to wait so long. Still it could be worse I suppose. I am definitely going to get setup with some other exchanges so I don't have to be stuck anymore. We don't have any of their big banks up here. Closest too far away. cashintocoins.com is easy to work with. deposit cash into big-name bank. get coins in est. 24 hours.
You could be verified, deposited money, and obtained bitcoins at bitstamp in a week. What does a coin cost at coinbase? OK, so going on bitstamp prices. That is ok then. |

Thanks, That looks more like what I should have done.  It's definately not a valid argument, I have moved all of my gear to one system as the mainboard just died in my other one.
I just tried to string together commands like I was in BFG.
Sorry I'm just tired I will get it squared around. Going on 4 days no sleep and my cognition hits shoelace levels.
No problem - I did some digging through the bfgminer source code and I think this should work for you: bfgminer --set-device bigpic:osc6_bits=54 -o etc etc |

Sorry I'm just tired I will get it squared around. Going on 4 days no sleep and my cognition hits shoelace levels. Yes when I add bitfury -o 54 it does not let mining start. I'm not sure if I am messing the arrangement due to being exhausted or not.
That doesn't look like a valid argument for bfgminer, can you link me to the documentation on the arguments you are trying to use? |
