[CLOSED] Blue Fury USB Miner, 0.90 or less per unit (Dabs) Philippines/Asia

[Eternity]

To run many units same time we will need usb hub which one do you recommend ?

Can you also ship the same at some extra cost if so how much ?

@Eternity, I don't have any USB hubs, but you might be able to find some locally. I got some non-powered hubs, but they only work for up to 3 units per USB port they are plugged into.

I am looking at some local power hubs, I will see if they work, but no one uses those things here (except miners.)

When I asked some stores about powered USB, they showed me cell-phone chargers with multiple outlets. That won't work with the miners (oh yes, they will get powered, but they won't mine! hehehe.)

So that about almost wraps up this group buy. Everyone who got their units, kindly leave feedback if that's not too much to ask. And ... to all those others who have not yet paid shipping, kindly pay.

I need to buy some drugs from ... oh wait, they shut down. (old joke, can't resist). heheheh. There's a store here that sells Melatonin pills, anyone got experience with that? (supposed to make you sleep.)

Ok, 12 miners received with thanks

I was hoping to post a picture of them working here but having great difficulties loading the driver using the instructions Klintay kindly provided above. Is there any other place that I can access the driver file please? I'm about to post on the support thread as 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! Overclock City here we come!

Use the Zadig driver : http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwdi/files/zadig/

Ok.. Mr. Yolo, just in case you can't read your PMs for whatever reason, Fed-Ex called me. They can't deliver your package for some reason, please PM me with a new address or the miners might go back to me. Or sit in the Fed-Ex office (where an employee might get curious and start mining with it.)

Great, works like a charm, thanks very much indeed ssinc

What I do know, is for larger orders, I'll get an extra unit that I send to you, just in case ... All of them will be tested (by BPMC) before shipping.

Well, I hope that everyone who ordered their Blue Furies will soon have their full allocation and then we can look to rectifying the small number of under-performing units that might need replacing. I can quite understand that due to limited numbers being available initially, it was impractical to send additional units to cover under-performing units however from what I can tell reading across the threads on this forum, BPMC have done a great job of getting the units out to purchasers in the last week and have commenced the compensation discussions and the replacement of sub-par units.

It took me a while to get my Blue Furies running alongside my Block Erupters, but that's how it goes with new tech and as I commented on the Blue Fury Support Thread, I think most people would prefer to have teething problems with the units in-hand, rather than slick instructions but no units delivered:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=319419.msg3514708#msg3514708

(there's also a pic of my rig there )

At this stage I'm running two instances of BFGMiner, the one on the left in the picture below is for Block Erupters, the one on the right is for the Blue Furies and if you can take a look at BFM 4 you'll see that its hashing performance hasn't smoothed out over time and remains anchored at 0.5 GH/s:





Some of the other Furies which were hashing at 1.8 - 1.9 GH/s but seem to have edged above 2 GH/s after being run in for 36 hours. Although the rough average of 2.1 GH/s is lower than the anticipated 2.2 - 2.7 GH/s that the Furies were advertised to perform at, there's a realistic possibility that future firmware updates will be able to increase their performance, however it's clear that BFM 4 with 75% hardware errors operating at 0.5 GH/s is a faulty unit and a replacement will be required please.


I hope everyone else who has received their Furies now has them hashing away and they are bringing a smile to your face. With a bit of luck we'll be able to tweak them further to increase their performance but even running at 2.1 GH/s, they are still far superior to the Block Erupters running at 333 MH/s, so I'd like to thank Dabs and all at BPMC for their excellent work. It's great to have the units in hand flashing away

Thanks again!

[acecombat]

Got my miners today - Thanks Dabs!

I too am having an issue with under-performing units.  The fastest is 2.1 GH/s the others are all below 2 GH/s   Hopefully a spare unit or firmware update will fix these!
Also what's happening with the compensation for delays?  Has that been announced yet?

[Dabs]

I got the compensation. It is 0.05 per unit.

Please reply if you would like to receive it. (If you don't reply, can I have it?) hehehe.

Okay, seriously, I can send it back to the address you used to buy, which is posted on the 2nd post of this thread. Or you can specify a different bitcoin address by signing a bitcoin message using that address, to have your compensation sent to another address.

If you can't or don't know how to sign, then ... we'll figure something out, but I don't want to send your coins to the wrong address.

For those with defective units, you can PM and we'll work something out, although I appeal to Beastlymac, it would make sense to have them replaced with you, if there are only 1 or 2 units, rather than passing through me. (quadruples the shipping and the time.)

I never got a chance to test them before I shipped them out. The day I got them, they went out. (That also means, I did not mine with your units.)

I also got the exact number of units I ordered (which you ordered). In fact I didn't get everything, but that was sorted out. I do not have any extra units.

Anyway, I am marking this batch and group buy closed now. If there will be future runs, I will post a new thread. Have fun with your miners. FedEx is now my favorite courier. (They always have been.)

[Dabs]

I'm sending out the compensation tomorrow. Please wait for it. 0.05 per unit. See the 2nd post. I will send it back to the same address that was used to pay.

Confirmed !

Compensation sent to the addresses requested or to the original addresses. That's it. I'm gone. Poof!

I will offline this weekend starting tonight, so ... any issues / complaints / donations / violent reactions .. I will see it next week.

[OleOle]

Compensation received, thanks very much for organising this Dabs, have a great weekend

good job Dabs, after all the drama...i think you and your team (everyone involved from production to distribution) did pretty well after everything was said and done. Thanks a bunch, it was fun!

[Dabs]

Thanks! BTW, I got a 49 port USB hub (without power supply). It needs a new owner, someone PM if interested. Never been used.

[Dabs]

Sorry, no more miners or hubs.

[Birka]

Sorry, no more miners or hubs.

Dabs, do you remember total number of Blue Furies you have made?
