Anyone know how to get the Red BitFury USB ASIC to mine with MuM  Make sure you load the inf file Mr Wools posted them on here. Once that is done and they are detected by the O/S ok you should be all set as MuM detects them and runs them great. |

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.  |

Excellent. Thanks that looks much easier than I was worried it would be. Great job. some wanted to see how I wired up power supply with 10 port USB 2.0 hubs  5V 30A 150W power supply  connections are self explanatory  Silver 10 port USB hub  soldered power wires directly to PCB  close up of solder connction to PCB  Blue (better quality) 10 port USB hub  again soldered power wires directly to PCB  close up again of blue USB hub  cut outs for wires to come through hub case  if you're not comfortable with soldering then you can buy something like this above with screw terminals below are couple links of these DC power plugs: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/CCTV-Camera-5-5mm-x-2-1-mm-DC-Power-Male-Jack-Plug-Connector-Adapter-/360726637870http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/20pcs-2-1-x-5-5mm-DC-Power-Male-Plug-Jack-Adapter-Connector-for-CCTV-System-/161115013698use wire that's heavy enough to carry power to hub to prevent high voltage drop. eg. thick figure 8 (speaker) wire with 24 strands minimum, also known as 24/020 wire. I used 14AWG wire which is probably over kill but I had this type of wire because I use to tinker with battery powered RC helicopters.  cut red power wire in USB cable that connects from USB hub to PC USB port. this is to prevent PC USB port trying to power anything connected to USB hub (power isn't required as your using power supply for power) here's a thread where there's good info on USB hub, etc.. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=253749.0Note. if you're going to do similar with a USB 3.0 hubs they may be powered with 12V instead of 5V, the same applies but 12V power supply required. |

Thanks I've sent him a message.
Additional:
On the cooling front, I'm resurrecting an old freon unit I used on an overclocked quad board 10 or so years ago.
+1 if it can be done it should, good luck man and make sure you let us all know how it goes. The only other option I researched at the beginning was mineral oil but cost out weighed air by a bit. Hm. I wonder if I can immerse it in a tank of mineral oil, then put *that* into a 50 gallon rain barrel. Would the surface area of the glass be enough to allow the heat to radiate into the rain barrel's thermal mass.... That's a project for spring. :-) C That could be good but how warm are your summers? Our rain barrel turns into bathwater during the summer I don't know how long it would move lots of heat. |

I'm wondering if there is a Namecoin e-wallet account I can transfer it to so I can trade it or use it??
There seems to be slim pickings.

Wow that's a great speed there ManeBjorn. I might have to try the new firmwares, I am just using stock firmware right now. I wonder if the newer firmwares would help. I've also seen some mention of lights flashing on them but they are just solid green for me. And I stand corrected, I received back a 7-port Anker USB 3 hub from Amazon today and they work in it. Maybe they just don't like my 10-port Anker hubs. They were running for a little while fine till I knocked one out trying to capture both speeds and the hub in the same picture, but I was able to hotplug it back in.  I'm using the Anker 7 port as well. LOL Yes the firmware made a big difference. I will post a pic tomorrow of it running. I was very surprised when it just ran and so well to boot after the update. |

The same happens in linux and cgminer. If i start the programme i have to unplugged and then plugged again to see it
I got it fixed. Reload the firmware. I used the method in this thread with this tutorial. It works perfect now at 5.7 gh/s 47 degrees C. This site will show you how and has a great pic on how to do it. http://c-scape.nl/bi-fury/I chose the 90 degree version and it works great. I hope it helps. |

I have not found a solution yet either. |

Ok here is what is going on with my BiFury.
If I plug it in and then startup BFG or Multiminer no devices at all are found not even my existing ASIC's.
If I start the program with the BiFury not plugged in then hot plug it detects and works great in BFG miner using the manual add.
Then it runs great 5 to 5.6 gh/s.
I have looked around but I don't see any solutions. This is the same either in my Anker hub or directly into the ports on the PC.
I am running Win7.

I am having and odd problem running my BiFury.
I also get the same results with the new BFGminer installed.
I run BFG and get a msg and it says "User does not have privileges to install COM 9" Com 9 is where my BiFury is.
I have tried this on all usb ports and my USB hub and while recognized I get the same error.
When I run with this command -d? -S noauto -S bifury:all -D -T it runs through so fast and shuts down BFG.
Any help would be great.

I am having and odd problem running my BiFury in MM.
It is setup ok in windows but when I start MM It is not seen during the hardware scan. If I have it plugged in before I start MM no devices are found.
I also get the same results with the new BFGminer installed.
I ran BFG by itself to see the msg and it says "User does not have privileges to install COM 9" Com 9 is where my BiFury is.
I have tried this on all usb ports and my USB hub and while recognized I get the same error.
Do I have to do something special to make it work??

BFGminer is telling me COM9 does not have user privalages to install so I am not able to run my BiFury.
Does anyone no what I need to change?

Well Put!  |

Thanks I look forward to seeing how you did this. I just orderd a PSU to do this as well. |

On 2.3.3 ASIC's are throwing no errors and no rejects. This is testing with 2 333 erupters which also run at 350 to 380 with no issues.
On 2.3.4 ASIC's are throwing errors at .5% and rejects at .3%. It also takes down the 2 333 erupters to 333 to 335 with those errors.
The Saphire R7 250 runs stable at 101 kh/s to 110 kh/s on both versions running scrypt.
On the main rig ASIC's across the board have this drop and error and rejects.
Reverting and staying on 2.3.3 is the only thing I can find that eliminates the problem.
Also with 2.3.4 even with Dynamic enabled the system barely responds when running scrypt.
Please compare the arguments shown on the Process Log screen with version 2.3.3 and 2.3.4. I can't think of any difference there would be. If there is no difference, anything you are seeing is unrelated to MultiMiner. I will do so. Thanks. |

I have 9 of these running in a 10 port hub (el'cheapo off ebay) and running fine but I have wired the hub to a 5V 30A power supply (also bought off ebay) Note. I have cut the (red) power wire in the USB cable that connects from the hub to the PC. just in case it tried to pull power from it if the power supply fails.   Do you have a link to those power supplies? I do see a bunch of them just not sure which is a good one. Also can you post another pick showing how you wired that in? I'm not familiar with how to do that and I don't want to mess it up. Thanks |

I'm still very new to this so I'm not sure if I am missing anything.

I have a few more on the way, what USB hubs are getting the best results with the Bi•Furies? They do not like my Anker USB 3 hubs at all.
Thanks,
Bear
Do they work in your onboard ports but not the HUB? Yes they work fine on-board I get a little over 5GH running at 44C with a little fan for cooling Good to know. All my hubs are Anker and my BiFuries are going to be here in the next day or so. I will have to get another hub fast. |

Carrying over from the other thread. This looks great.
I just bought a bunch of gear once I get my BTC amount back up I will get a hold of you and have you upgrade mine. That's great work.
