I tried using Zadig to make them into Winusb drivers, but that did not work either, Whenever I did that and started CGminer it always gave me an error of something like, they need drivers installed -12, or something to that effect.

I may have to try BFGMiner and get a new hub.  Here is a link to the hub that I bought
http://www.microcenter.com/product/377595/10-Port_USB_20_Powered_Hub
I assumed it was the hub having problems since it worked for an hour and now will not handle more than 1 at a time.

Any particular reason why I can only get 3 to start when just plugging them directly into USB ports?

EDIT: BFGMiner is telling me that I Do not have privileges required to open \\.\COM1
But the USB's are not on COM1, and it does not seem to go any further than that.  Any Ideas?

I just received 5 block eruptors, and am having quite a problem getting them set up.  I have Windows 7 running and got a 10 port hub from Micro Center that I am thinking is pretty cheap.

When I first received these units, I plugged them all into the powered 10 port hub and everything worked fine for about an hour, then they started to have issues.  Now, I can only have 1 plugged into the hub and it works, and they all work individually, but plugging two in immediately has problems.  Also, plugging the hub into the wall causes problems.  There is an LED on the hub that lights up when I plug in the USB to the comp, but when I plug in the wall part also, it dims.  One USB miner runs in the hub fine, but plug in the wall port and it stops working.  Is this a bad hub?

Plugging in the USB's directly into the computer causes 2 of them to not work for the Bitminter client, I have yet to get them to work in CGminer.  I am able to get them to have COM numbers, but CGminer still does not recognize them, I use Bitminter and it recognizes them unless one of the above problems is happening.

Does anyone have any idea?  It seems like Windows is having problems identifying multiple miners?  Is there a fix?

Does anyone have a guide to what the led on the USB miner means? Mine are acting really weird

Need a couple of more miners sold to hit the 50 mark to submit an order to FC at .14 ea.  Please let me know if there is any interest.

Tracking says that it was delivered this morning, will check and update when I get home.

EDIT - all 5 received and working (on Bitminter client, could not for the life of me get them to work with Cgminer).  Only problem now is that they were all the same color and I want more that are different colors and they are really really cool.  What a dilemma.

Hmm, it used to work on IE 9 until a few days ago, and I have never been able to get it on Chrome, I guess I will have to try Firefox when I get home.  (Work only allows IE)

Are the charts working or is it just me?  Whenever I try to load them, either on my home computer or work computer, nothing loads and after a while it says that "Request timed out"

Ok all, FC has responded and has let me know that we may purchase eruptors through him at .12 ea or .1 if we get over 2k (highly unlikely).  As such, I am currently taking interest if anyone would like any additional eruptors?  If we get enough support than I will probably go forward and host some sort of GB for these.  Currently just gauging interest.

Things To Note - I would be thinking, something like .14 or .15 per eruptor to cover cost of shipping/handling. (shipping from US, could be more if international) 
These potentially could take a bit to arrive, I will get them out immediately when they do, but we all saw how long it could take FC to get them to Arklan.
I reserve the right to not go forward with this GB for any reason and refund in full any Btc paid to me.  Any reason could include, going to take too long, not enough interest, positive ROI gone, etc...

Note 2-This is open to anyone whether they previously participated or not.

Either post here or PM me interest and how many you think you would want at above price.

Thanks,

Debitme

Oh for October, there is another one somewhere who is finishing testing and wants to sell some on hand ones in, what sounds like, a couple of days time.

I have been watching the thread where these have been being talked about, IDK when they will become available, but it wasnt sounding like a minimum order was going to be necessary, and that initial supply wasnt going to be very large, so it may make more sense to just put an order in than scramble to get money together, of course if they do require a minimum number of units, then count me in depending on price (which I assume will be attractive, but who knows).  I guess we will have to wait and see.

I respectively disagree, using thegenesisblock's mining calculator (unfortuantely I cannot pull it up at work because it is blocked, so I cant share the link), but each one still has some potential for small profit at 77% increase of difficulty, which I think is pretty outrageous.  So by having a large number of them, you can accumulate a good chunk of money, nothing life changing but a couple of btc.  Which is worth it for me.

I am going to email their support and ask if I can purchase 50 because I was a member of a group buy that purchased directly from them.  At .1 per I would take 50 of them, anyone else is more than welcome to tack on to this order if they allow it.  I will update when I get word from FC.

I have not received tracking info.

Yes, does anyone have a link of where to buy them from?

Also for anyone who wants a little money out of their eruptors and doesnt want to tempt fate with mining I would be willing to purchase these for .11 per unit, I know it isnt much, but these are uncertain times and with difficulty going sky high, its all that I can offer for them currently, and maintain a certain level of risk/gambling.  Please let me know via PM if you are interested.  It would be contingent on you receiving the units and sending them to me same day, escrowed of course.  I would be willing to have Arklan escrow the deal, for a small fee, that I will pay.  No extra compensation for shipping but it shouldnt be much more than 5 to 10 dollars.

We were not paying him extra for FC, we were paying extra for speedy delivery once he acquired the units, that has not happened and as such, these are now not going to see a positive ROI.  The .1 payment was for FC to deliver and the .075 was for Arklan to deliver.  If I wanted to complain about the FC delivery time I would go to FC and request my .1 back that the unit cost, but the .075 was going to Arklan's hands so that he could get these units sent out the door immediately upon receipt.

Or we could go by lost mining revenue, these should have been shipped on the 30th, allowing 2 days for delivery in the U.S. that would currently put us at 2 days overdue, if they ship today we can assume they will be at our houses by either monday or tuesday of next week, so overall 5 to 6 days of lost revenue, assuming they ship today.  I will even give the benefit of the doubt and say that all of those days are at 85M difficulty, so that equates to about .00193 per miner per day or about .05 to .06 if they arrive Monday or Tuesday respectively.  Personally I do not think any reward should be given for this debacle, but at the very absolute least, I believe that the above is owed to me, should probably be more, but the above is at least fair.

I think since the coupons were for .1 ea, that anything over shipping costs should be refunded to the buyers of these last eruptors.

So for my 5 units I paid .875 and only .5 of that went to Friedcat, so that means .375 was taken for shipping and "handling".  Mtgox last price at the time of this writting is 131.77 per coin.

So...
131.77 per coin X .375 = nearly $50 paid over cost.
According to https://www.usps.com/ship/service-chart.htm
shipping  for 5 eruptors should be about 5 to 10 dollars for regular 1-3 day postal.

So...per above, I am paying about 40 to 45 dollars for "handling" and "fees", I think it is safe to say at this point that the service has not been performed adequately, and a refund of around .34 Btc, is not out of the question for the overprice that we paid.

This would go a long way in insuring that we can still hit ROI with these, which at the time of ordering and paying, and even recieving the units was still possible, but now is not without a refund.

So does that mean you dropped them off at the shipping facility 2 days ago, but they havent gone anywhere because they were not paid for?  I was really expecting to receive and set them up tonight?

I would be in at the about the 1.2 - 1.25 Btc per 20 chip rate.  let me know.
