Wow. The amount of stupidity on this thread is mind-boggling.
Are people actually trolling kano/ckolivas who have put hundreds of hours into coding free software? I certainly hope not.
And the idiots who want to waste thousands of dollars because the USB miners 'look cool'?? You want 10 of these things to look cool?? I'll make you a board with a heat sink on it and 5 flashing LED's for $1 and you can plug those in because they look cool. A fool and his money are quickly separated...
Fact is that either these guys are lying about selling out all their stock, or there are WAY more idiots out there who can't do math then I thought.
Poor bastards.

The heatsinks are worth about $1. I'd buy some.

I've seen these keys sold at around 0.9-0.85 BTC
Great product. Just waiting the price to be right.
At 0.3333 BTC/ GHs they are slightly cheaper than AM BE at 0.12 BTC but the NF1 when ready will be sold at ~0.5 BTC for 2 GH/s or 0.25 BTC/GHs
When your product will be at 0.6-0.5, I'll seriously look to buy 20 something of them.

Here are some setup instructions I put together for people new to linux : Ubuntu Linux Setup Instructions : 1 ) Download Ubuntu x64 from : http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop2 ) Install on a PC or on a Virtual Machine. 3 ) Once installed Find and Open Terminal by pressing CTRL + ALT + T 4 ) Type the following lines and press enter after each one : sudo add-apt-repository ppa:theturtle1983/mining sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install bfgminer
5 ) Plug in your Blue Fury Miner in your favorite USB hub/port 6 ) Find the Blue Fury device name in your /Dev Folder. Mine was named ttyACM0 (yours should be similar) 7 ) Type the following into Terminal : sudo bfgminer -o [pool name] -u [username] -p [password] -S bitfury:/dev/ttyACM0
*obviously change everything in brackets to your personal pool settings. 8 ) Hash Away!

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

Here are some setup instructions I put together for people new to linux :
https://github.com/aauer1/bfgminer For the brave, gitHub source here provided via Turtle / Bick. Make sure you "git clone" the repo locally. I had trouble getting the downloaded .zip to compile. Additionally, was missing a bunch of dependencies (my fault entirely for not properly RTFMing) that threw the system into a "wonky" state that didn't recognize the sticks until I unplugged and replugged them back in. Please double-check your dependencies if things don't run the first time. As to the difficulty-level of getting these guys running vs Block Erupter USB's, please understand this is still the first batch, and wider driver support will likely come online in short order.

What does ls -l /dev/ttyACM* return ? Eg: root@xubuntu64:~# ls -l /dev/ttyACM* crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166, 0 Sep 25 19:05 /dev/ttyACM0 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166, 1 Sep 25 19:05 /dev/ttyACM1 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166, 2 Sep 25 19:05 /dev/ttyACM2 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166, 3 Sep 25 19:05 /dev/ttyACM3 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166, 4 Sep 25 19:05 /dev/ttyACM4 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166, 5 Sep 25 19:05 /dev/ttyACM5 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166, 6 Sep 25 19:05 /dev/ttyACM6 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166, 7 Sep 25 19:05 /dev/ttyACM7

Ok, I've managed to get all 4 of them installed and I have ttyACM0, ttyACM1, ttyACM2, ttyACM3. I also have them connected to the VM. But I'm not sure what to enter here since I have 4 devices... sudo bfgminer -o http://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u username_workername -p password -S bitfury:/dev/ttyACM0 And when I start BFGMiner with the code above, I don't get anything hashing except the CPU cores, which I obviously don't want. Be gentle, this is my first time running Ubuntu and I'm so lost!

Apologies. Please pre-pend "sudo " to the start of each of those apt-get's. I'm a little bit nuts and run as root whilst tinkering... eg; sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev
