I'll bid 2.50 USD for this stick. BTW where do you live? Shipping might get a tad costly even though the miners tiny and can be shipped in an envelope.

0.09 BTC for 2.4 GH/s?
Who the fuck would do that?
i think not for use but more for collecting, its becoming rare items  i have one even rarer one, an ASIC Miner Block Erupter USB 333 Mh/s SHA-256 Crypto Too bad one of these was selling on eBay for just around thirty dollars on the day the thread opened. I'm not sure if it's still up but these prices are pretty exorbitant. The miner on eBay was also New FYI. Block erupters weren't rare at all- in fact, many people had farms of over one hundred erupters running at once. They were and are anything but rare. |

Great numbers for efficiency! Currently waiting for another usb fan to arrive, once that and my 2Pac gets here I'll certainly be trying to hit 300 MHz and above. Can't wait for the BF sticks and miners, can't even imagine how fun those will be to overclock!! They might even replace my S3's and older miners with efficiency |

Probably the Chinese holiday is causing delay
Yep, likely the issue. Looks like you picked the worst time to buy a miner- it'll take a few days for things to get back to normal but Canaan certainly did not rip you off. I expect things will slow down but not stop altogether. |

tbh i don't even know how much you would receive by mining on CPU's nowadays. it may not cost your electricity but definitely puts more load on the hardware. i just don't think it's even worth the time one would spend to set it up at all.
on a side note, if you were caught mining on public / college properties for personal gains, you might get into trouble, especially if you mine on more than one computers. it's not hard to be found out.
True. As I do some mining on college computers, I'm aware that I may get caught if seen in public. I try to hide the mining software by running it minimized in the background, while I make a few coins along the way. Still, I think it would be very ideal to do it on a VPS instead. I know that it wouldn't be profitable mining CPU coins on there, but at least it would be good for fun and learning. One coin that I've been looking forward to mine is Hodlcoin, since you can put some of your mined coins into "Hodl" mode for a couple of months or even a year to receive even greater rewards. If you're going to mine on a VPS, make sure that the seller of the VPS allows mining or doesn't have anything against it in their TOS. Your vps can easily be cancelled if there's rules against mining with your service- I learned that the hard way mining some CPU coins with a Xeon VPS. The good news was that the VPS had only a few days left but I had no use for it at that point so I figured I might as well. |

It depends on whiat are you going to mine. For bitcoin mining it's better to use latest antminer s9. For altcoins, to my mind ati gpus are best but also you can to use baikal miner, for example for dash coin. Also there are some coins with hdd mining.
Baikal makes decent miners but they also have a one year plus ROI on most of their miners. Fine if you want to mine some X11 and Quark for cheap but don't expect quick roi. Pinidea is better for X11 in most cases and I'd suggest buying from them if you really need X11 ASICs. |

I don't see any redfury miners being sold, maybe revise the title? Seems a bit misleading as I thought there were three different kinds of usb miners being sold. Price also seems high as I recall just a month ago these miners sold for around 30 bucks on ebay. Too high for me personally but glws.

leo how many sticks do you have ? if you have around 3 - 4 i suggest a nice 120mm fan
if only 1 stick i suggest finding a good small 20mm - 40mm fan ill look around my house and see if i can find one as i go to good will outlet where i find little fans alot in small electonics all the time and they run on 5v - 12 v
I actually do have 120mms in my house and it runs just fine but it's way too loud and I'd rather have a more useful usb fan that I can use elsewhere besides mining. I have just one Gekko stick. |

yep working good here for my dr 1
0: dr1 COM15: 0C 0RPM | A: 12930 R: 91 HW:0 | 8.247M / 10.79Mh/s WU:0.0/m
dont know why its not showing temp / rpm / or wu
but its hashing away nicely
What are your settings? I've never gotten mine to show more than 8.2m in cgminer. Wu, rpms and temps never show either. RPM, Temp aren't supposed to show up as the hardware is meant for DR-1 devices and those have temp sensors, not the DU-1s. Make sure your mobo is supplying enough power to make it run at full speed, powered hubs should get it there. Was my issue with the miner, couldn't get it above 300 until i hooked up my new hub. |

Where abouts in the world are you? as they are pretty readily available on amazon and ebay.
Pennsylvania, US. Would use Purse.io but I don't really need anything else and they require a minimum of ten bucks just for your purchase to go through. The fans are seven bucks. My last few fans broke a while ago so I don't have any spares :/ |

I can NOT believe their garbage left over stock sold out that fast.
My god you people are worse then nintendo fan boys
What ever they put up and stick their name on you scoop up like drug addicts.
Can't wait to see the failure rate on these!
Maybe actually decided to make reliable miner when oposition starts to show up. There was no need to design for reliabilty previously with the rapid chip improvements, now that chip efficiency gains are slowing to match Moores law it makes sense to improve reliability and minimize customer support costs. Still, trading efficiency and power for reliability? Farther down the road that isn't going to work. It's just a cash grab for them and we have no idea if that's true or not, if these miners are actually more reliable. Hasn't ever happened much in the past and if anything their reliabilty has gone downhill since the S1. |

Bought a DU-1 off of this user, with about five hours of tinkering I was able to get the thing running. Not the seller's fault but mine Seller is very helpful and will do a lot to help you get started. Also bought a Geekoscience compact hashing away happily on Kano as well as a 8gh Jalapeno. Great guy with great prices, highly recommend this guy if you want some cheap and fun usb miners (not the DU-1 too much for me in my my case)! one of the du-1's I bought fired up right out of the box the other one does not hash at all  Yeah, they're pretty finicky miners and you need to do a lot just to get them hashing at 4mhs unfortunately Maybe damaged in the shipping process I'd imagine? OP seems like the kind of guy to give refunds so I wouldn't worry too much. Try it on another pc, there are issues reported by some users that they can't run more than one on a pc. |

I have the issue almost completely fixed but the cgminer screen just hangs at started cgminer 1.0.7 and nothing more happens. Can someone please help me fix this? I've tried pretty much everything but nothing works. I've installed Pinidea's unsigned DU-1 inf file and located the COM port, but the CGMiner is not working. I've reinstalled it six times not and nothing works.
EDIT: 0.005BTC0.01BTC reward for a working fix, get some free BTC while you're at it. I need this miner working.

As an update I found the DU-1 to be on COM port 17, but the issue still persists where the cgminer pops up and out. Really need help on this issue :/

First of all, I can't find the device (!!) It shows up as LUFA CDC Demo, but when I click ports in device manager there is nothing there. It shows up in Device Manager, but, however, when I click Bus Number it says all zeros. I'm running this on my motherboard's usb, so it's not a hub issue (at least I don't think). I launched the CGMiner with this following BAT as I could not find the COM port number: cgminer.exe --x11 -o stratum+tcp://dash.suprnova.cc:9995 -u leowonderful.1 -p 1 --dr1-clk 400 --dr1-fan LV3 --du1
I left out the COMport number in config because I couldn't find it, but it just pops up and out and nothing seems to happen. Any tips? Running Windows 8.1. These X-11 miners are real damn tricky to start... |

If he is having the advantage of free electricity the option to buy a used antminer s7 and go for Bitcoin is it going to be profitable nowadays ?
How much does this device cost and when do u think he will be able to get his money back and make profit on top of that?
Honestly i'd just go for a bunch of used S5s, they cost less if you're going to use free electricity and you should reach ROI in just a few months and profit after that. You could also go all out with the most obsolete, high-hashrate miners like the S2 but i'm guessing OP has a cap on his electrical usage. |

With my new Gekko stick I'd like to get a new fan for it so I can get to 350MHz instead of this anemic 150mhz. Willing to pay 7$ in BTC for one of these fans (not sure if it's computer hardware or not, mods please move if it doesn't belong).
I'd also buy other fans for a lower price as silence is pretty important for me, I run my miners with a raspi in my room and I can't sleep with loud fans.

Try using a molex to pci connector and you should be fine. I'd really suggest a server psi as they have better efficiency and run better generally, but if you already have the push or don't want the noise try getting that connector- there needs to be a minimum of 2 pci hooked up on the S3, one for each board.
