I was interested in these as handouts/gifts to friends to get them interested in BTC and crypto-currencies, but from what I've heard in the past these run pretty hot.  Are these newest units as hot as the older ones?  Would it be ok if someone who didn't know what they are doing (plug & play as it were) just let it hash away, or is there the potential for the miner to destroy itself or the usb port?

Thanks!

I have a total of 6 units ordered. Anybody know what a good USB hub will be to run these on? Also which PSU should I use with the USB hub?

Anyone got some ebay links?  Thanks!

I think I'll wait until Luke-Jr posts an official version if it's all the same... 

How's Luke-Jr doing with BFG?  I would hate to have to run cgminer just for these, when BFG runs everything else for me so perfectly.

The pool block stats are back working, but my new workers aren't showing and nobody's hash rates and shares are changing in the stats. All workers on the stats page are stuck in place.

The DLINK 7 port router looks like it will hold them.

Been working fine with by ASICMINER doobies

What's the difference between red fury and blue fury?

the reason that people love blocker eruptor so much is because they are easy to use plugin and you can basically hit the button and go this Linux solution is fine for people are in the know but not for the target audience of what this should be. Those windows drivers are imparative to this being successful

Good to hear nice to see it was delivered before 12:59 this time lol.

Difficulty-adjustments will ensure that in the event of miners shutting down the difficulty goes down as well and mining profitability will increase again.

Just curious. Not trying to run off your business or anything. But isn't it cheaper per gh/s to buy asic blades? I know the power consumption will be lower but the asic blades are already pennies a day to run.

Like right now I can get 10.7gh/s for 3.65btc by buying an asic blade.
or I could buy 4 Red Fury USB miners and get 10gh/s for 3.6btc.

But here is the kicker. I can get the asic blade shipped to me in under 3 days and be hashing immediately.
I would have to wait 2+ weeks to receive a Red Fury. We should see asic blades drop below 3btc each within 2 weeks.
Also difficulty of bitcoin will go up quite a bit in 2 weeks. We all know the more time it takes to get an asic the less you will make and the chance of making ROI goes down dramatically.

Its pretty obvious if you are going to be buying mining hardware that you should get an asic blade.

Can anyone counter this argument?

So I signed up just to thank flound for all his hard work on this pool.  I've been following this pool and been a member since its inception.  I constantly see people whining about not getting paid on litecoin when on the multipool cause we don't stick around long enough.  Would it not be a simple thing to just lock the multipool on the coin until we find a block, then carry on with our multipooling?  Same with NVC.  I'm perfectly content with following the pool around but this seems like a guarentee to get paid.  And also opens up the whining for why didn't we switch, coin 12398 was at 15% better profit.  You can't have both people.. Either accept what flounds done or go to another pool that doesn't give you the flexibility to mine what you want here.

Thanks for sharing - it gives exactly the type of information I was suggesting being added to the stats.  It really shows which coins are the stinkers (I'm looking at you GDC), and which appear to have a sizable return (ANC, everytime!).  At first the conversion to uBTC was disliked, but it's grown on me, I'm not having to count zeroes now.

Any plans to add LTC?

The only coins I'd like to keep are DGC, LTC, CGB and FST.

hi

I can not register on your pool (every time i get Password must be between 6 - 20 characters.)

why?

BUMP!
Is something wrong or just bad luck?
