One thing is fpor certain this is the most expenssive hobby on the planet
hmm... no... 1) RC Jet planes - Not the little pos you buy your kid, but the bigger ones with actual turbine engines  . Upwards of $6k just for the plane starting off for a decent model, then add in controls, fuel, and everything else just to get it off the ground...  shit gets insane. 2) Rally Racing - Not only can be dangerous (and fun as hell), but will cost tens of thousands, if not more, I stopped counting after awhile. I could go on with a few more, apparently I have expensive hobbies -_- but probably the most expensive would be women... *mumbles to himself* The proper answer is if it can fly, float, or fuck. Those are the most expensive hobbies. The proper answer is if it can go fast, fly, float, or fuck. Those are the most expensive hobbies. You forgot one... cause while you can (esp. in rally racing) catch air in a car, it's more about the speed But yea, seems pretty damn accurate... |

I've been pretty much keeping quiet on this GB, more of just standing by watching cry-babies bitch and make inappropriate comparisons (really, comparing to BFL, come the heck on...). Personally Barntech has kept is demeanor, provided updates when possible (for those of you wanting daily updates, I understand the want, but be honest, daily updates will accomplish nothing if there is no update to be had), and has been nothing but a all-around nice person to deal with.
Some people need to learn when to calm down and when to be aggressive. When you have someone doing everything within their power to produce the best quality item they can do for you, that's not when to jump down their throats and be and ass about things. As if they wanted to churn out products fast and didn't care about quality, I'm sure they could, which would cause more issues than just waiting another couple weeks.
Aside from Drillbit's web form (lol), I've had nothing but a good experience and await my boards.

Got a question, what would happen.. oh say if i put my cex.io deposit address as 50% of the share holders payment and the other 50% to my own personal wallet?
Seeing payments go out of a different address.
Reason is i am using my BFl Jally to help mine on cex.io and want that part of the profits to come back to me and the 1/2 to go back into btc balance to buy more gh/s.
Anyone else doing/tried this?
Thanks
Icon
If you just put yourself under the shareholders with a 50% payout, 50% will go to the address the remaining 50% goes to your CEX.io balance. (At least it did for me ) So there shouldn't be a need to put two address if you want the remaining to spill over into your CEX.io account. Granted I did this right after they implemented shareholders working and they've changed a bit since then, so who knows   |

Well... my 10k resistors came in today, switched out the 22k resistor for a 10k on one of my good units.
BFGMiner 3.6.0 - 2.82 GH/s - 0 HW Errors
CGMiner 3.8.0 - 2.51 GH/s
I only let it sit for about 10 minutes on each mining software, so going to let it run for awhile in BFGMiner now.
Before the installation of the resistor this unit was consistently at 2.2GH/s
EDIT:
Temperature at heat-sink: 27.8 C / 82 F
Temperature at chip: 37.7 C / 100 F
tk1337, after you replaced the 22K with a 10K, what was the resistance across R15 ? So, awkwardly enough I can't get a reading off of R15, I can off other resistors, but not R15. Had to borrow a meter as my dog decided a couple days ago that mine would make a nice chew toy  I'm blaming the meter (lol) going to grab a different one tomorrow. |

100 ASIC USB Erupters (Sapphire, 336MH/s), all with two small-form heatsinks on the back of each unit, packaged in "OEM" packaging.
Will not separate/piece out, looking to sell the lot of 100.
Will escrow at buyers cost & arrangement. (I've sold about 70 RaspberryPi kits on here on the forums without issues & value my reputation.)
Would prefer *not* to ship outside the US, though doesn't mean I won't.
All units are working 100%, SOLD.
This is just for the units themselves (no USB hubs, just units).

These are too expensive when you compare them to an ASICMINER blade. You can get those for BTC1.1 and they do 10 Gh/s, nearly 4 times as fast!
My Blue Furys are mining at 2.3ghs. I will be back at work on monday need some help troubleshooting them to get to 2.6ghs. i am not going to buy more of these from beastlymac or his distributors. seems like oaxaca is selling his cheaper anyway and they look more professional. i am going to order one of oaxacas bitfury usb and compare the two side by side. I just ordered 2 more asicminer blades off amazon.com for 199 and im going to keep ordering those til i have a 10 stack. ill be honest beastlymac, i think you did a good job and your distributors did a good job also, but i feel overcharged and not hashing at advertised speeds. even with your custom bfgminer and following instructions to the T. Yes we are aware of the issues. The hashrate it gradually being pushed up but without modifying the resistor on the board and risking a unstable device for customers the max we can get is 2.4 that is the same for the red fury device. To the people saying the price is to high. These are sold out if we make a next batch the pricing will be drastically different. Thanks Has anyone switched out the resistor yet? Just curious... I'm gonna play with one of my furys should have the resistors in on tuesday |

Four times as fast, using 83w... roughly 16.6 times more power consumption... it's not always about speed, there are several other factors that come into play... Not to mention how much heat blades put off and the cooling needed for them... These are highly efficient for what they are... |

I have a friend I set up a Rpi for and he's having problems with it and I was wondering if anyone on here might have any ideas.  It looks like all the shares end up as HW errors. I know the worker credentials are correct because I changed mine to exactly what his are and mine go through just fine. Any thoughts? I switched from bfgminer and it fixed everything. No Hardware issues and detects all my miners. Judging by the webUI, that is also an out of date version of MinePeon, I would highly suggest updating. |

Recommended cgminer for bluefuries is 3.8.1. However windows 8.1 I have heard has lots of problems with usb devices.
Hi, I also have a Raspberry Pi I am using with MinePeon software. I can't get that device to pick up the BlueFury's. Do you know if they are supported on there also? Which version? What commands are needed? Thanks. They should be working. I think Neil is currently working on compatability. I haven't had any issues on my latest build of BFGMiner I made last thursday or the one I made previously and posted a download link/instructions for a few pages back on this thread. I've been gone a couple of days, so about to start checking what updates came out (if any) and make builds if needed. If you need help, let me know. |

from what the EE told me you want to replace the 22K resistor with a 10K one.
Yea, apparently I became dyslexic when I read that, it's R15, that's the only 22k one I saw on the board. |

I have 50 running at 90Gh/s total. Two throw tons of hardware errors. Shares found on same two are very low even though hashrate is reported normal.
These things run very cool. Begging to to overclocked. Hoping to be able to tweak in the future.
Pictures?  I posted above how it is possible to hardware overclock. Firmware over clocking might be available in the future I just don't want to cause more issues that would then need to be fixed. I went back and reread this whole thread. Maybe I'm just blind, but could you help out with a link to where you have the OC info? Back in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=319419.msg3486886#msg3486886 you wrote "Edit. It is possible to overclock the units and push them to potentially 2.7 by replacing the 22k resistor with a 10k one." but a little more info would be helpful... BTW: I'm currently running 7 (thanks ssinc) with w7x64, cgminer 3.7.2; 10 port cheap powered hub with max of 4 units in each hub RESULTS: avg 2.3 per unit ~nh Anyone that *should* be over-clocking these, would have the knowledge to look at the board and see which resistors are 10k; However, with that being said there are two resistors on the board at 10k, R8 & R11 (R8 next to PRG button, R11 next to RST button), so I'm assuming by Beastlymac's statement that both 10k resistors would need to be swapped out to 22k, but would like confirmation that it would be both, if not both which, R8 or R11? EDIT: Also, you would be replacing it with a SMD 1206 22k ohm 1/8w resistor (Beastlymac, correct me if I'm wrong please), which seem to be pricey at DigiKey at the moment due to stock shortages it looks like. However Mouser does have a good amount in stock at the moment and are much cheaper than DigiKey. Beastlymac said "replacing the 22k resistor with a 10k one", you are suggesting "that both 10k resistors would need to be swapped out to 22k" - didn't you get 'your resistors crossed'? yup, I did... so, R15 how I reversed that... no fking clue... |

beastlymac
when is this firmware update being released
The update that was required to fix the hw error rate has actually been incorporated into the bfgminer 3.5.1 update. 3.5.1 definitely is improved over 3.5.0, however I'm showing a typical 3%-5% HW errors across all Fury miners (where as my 3.2.0 BFGMiner build had none, not sure how accurate that was though) and one at 43%, the one at 43% I believe is bad, as this is the same one that usually goes 'SICK' or 'DEAD' within 10hrs of mining, also, I've never seen it above 1.5x GH/s. Right now it's at 1.18GH/s; I've already spoken to my group buy leader about a replacement for this one. OS: Arch Linux (MinePeon 0.2.4.1) Hopefully this BFGMiner 3.5.1 will stay stable, as I'll be gone for two days *crosses fingers*. |

Ok, 12 miners received with thanks from Dabs. Thanks to all at BPMC for getting these out to us. I was hoping to post a picture of them working here but having great difficulties loading the driver using the instructions provided above on the OP. Is there any other place that I can access the driver file please? Following the instructions for Win7x32 seems to lead me to a situation where access to the driver is denied  Any input you have will be greatly appreciated. I'll keep tweaking, I know this is a live situation with a real group effort to get these Blue Furies working to the max. I can't wait to get them working and hashing, then start messing around with them to really amp up their hash rates! Thanks folks that access denied your getting is because the driver file is set to encrypted... see post #46 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=319419.msg3467670#msg3467670 |

PM'd will like to purchase
gingpark, will you let me know if this deal goes through? The reason is Brian agreed to sell it to me two days ago - I actually expected the device to be in the mail already when I saw this post! So if he's legit and you get your device - all good. But if things get flaky, let me know. interesting... since I paid for one and likewise expected it to be in the mail already.  |

ssinc suggested in a PM and I agreed to that he mine with my 6 units for me until they can safely be sent to me at a later date. Now waiting for them to show some signs of life on my designated address on Eligius. For the record, I offered ssinc 3% of the total proceeds from this "hosted" mining. Setting up a separate pc for them right now actually Also, if anyone has a DOA unit or a unit performing way under spec PM me or e-mail me to setup an exchange as limited replacements will be available later this week. What's being considered way under spec? I know Beastlymac made a comment about being under 2GH/s I've got two that seem to end up as 'DEAD' in bfgminer after 5-10 hours, and they are also the same two that are under 2GH/s (one sits at 1.21GH/s apparently atm the other is at 1.75GH/s, they've been on for 3hr 19min thus far), it's always the same two as well. Anything that's DEAD after 5-10 hours might just be a software issue. I noticed my units start to slow down after running for a day. I woke up today with everything hashing at 100-200 MH/s which was really strange. After a reset they seem to be fine though. I don't know what Beastlymac deems as out of spec but I would consider anything under 1.8 GH/s definitely not working correctly and I would replace it without question. Yea that's why I asked... I'm still assuming there's a lot of software-related issues at the moment. |
