I went ahead and started this off with a purchase for 5 units for myself.

[semaster]

delivery time?

[Maidak]

delivery time?

Between 1st and 2nd week of October i'll be packing and shipping them all the day I receive them all orders are going to be sent USPS Priority and shipping is included with prices. I need to reach a minimum order quantity of 250 units I will also be combining my ebay orders as well for these so I should reach it easily.

[clock27]

good luck with this venture dude im gonna bookmark this page cause i may order one just not right now

[Maidak]

Thanks and many kudos im really looking forward to this! Cant wait to see your order come in.

[bitterdog]

These things are not even available yet and these guys are undercutting each other already.

I would suggest BPMC step in and do something to protect the market or there will be no meat left on the bone for resellers to negotiate with large orders.

Actually this is a group buy that needs to hit 250 units the resellers don't have the minimum order placement of 250 and it doesn't seem like we are undercutting each other, you pay the price you get the unit when it arrives no worrying about x amount of units left (except if they are all sold out).

I'm not saying its a bad thing if you get enough people to do a purchase it will help you out immensely.

Yeah that's exactly why i'm offering just slightly under the re-sellers currently, I didn't want to do it but I do have to hit 250 orders minimum like tomas_s has mentioned to become an authorized re-seller. And since this is my first ever group buy I want to prove to the community I am more then capable of handling this type of task.

I do appreciate everyone's input and thank this community for giving me the opportunity to sell bitcoin mining hardware.

[Beastlymac]

I can verify that we are working with Maidak as a reseller

Thanks for verifying I realized there was a issue in my registration page while doing some editing everything is fixed and you can still go through and do orders by paypal now.

Soon as I got it fixed got a paypal order in right away.

[philipma1957]

your pricing structure put me out of reselling sticks.  simple math.  the other sellers offer 20 sticks for .85 each  and 1 stick for .9 each.

  if I buy 20 sticks at .85 and sell 2 at 1.77   my profit was .07 btc.    and the guy buying 2 sticks from me saved .03 btc  ..

your  pricing of 1-20 at .88 means 2 sticks are .176  so I get no sales.  I have 0 incentive to buy from ssinc in amounts of 20 sticks. 

 while business is business you are hurting other resellers  like myself which in turn will hurt ssinc , dabs and Thomas_s   


I never begrudge anyone trying to make a buck  and I will link your post to the bitminter forum letting them know that small 2 stick sales would be cheaper with you.

Well considering I haven't had any bitcoin orders yet unfortunately I went along and matched every other group buyers payment I just scaled down the volume for the bigger orders of 50+ units.

[Maidak]

I went ahead and simplified ordering for paypal rather then just going through my website just use the buy it now buttons. Hope this makes it alot easier for everyone.

[morphKET]

Hey Maidak, kudos to the idea I am def interested and would be ready to toss in an order for at least 8 of them. If paid for in BTC (or PayPay for that matter), is that with shipping already or it be extra? I'm guessing you'll be updating the tally as we move on closer to October. Either way, I know we will reach 250

That price is with shipping included for all USA domestic orders, any international order shipping cost will be flat rate pricing. I'm currently on live chat support right now if you have any questions.

[bitbar]

Is possible shipping to Spain?

As would be sending 4 units?

Thanks!

[Maidak]

Thanks!

Sent you a private message,   on another note just got another 6 units ordered today.

[alh]

Do you need to be contacted in some way to confirm a PayPal purchase for one of these units? I am completely new to this kind of transaction, so please forgive my ignorance.

If this actually works out, it will double the size of my miniscule mining rig!

One other question. The range on hash rate seems larger than I would expect. What determines
the rate for any individual unit? Luck of the draw? Temperature? How nicely you talk to it? 

[Beastlymac]

One other question. The range on hash rate seems larger than I would expect. What determines
the rate for any individual unit? Luck of the draw? Temperature? How nicely you talk to it? 

The range should be 2.5-2.7 only usbs in that range will be sent to resellers. Range depends mainly on chip quality and pcb production quality. From testing it seems these units can run around 2.2-2.4 without heatsinks and 2.5-2.7 with a heatsink.

[alh]

When you say heatsink, I assume that is the finned one that covers the backside as
is shown in the video?

That looks way more effective than the flat slab on the Block Erupters.

So does this mean that you folks have to "bin sort" the assembled units, and then
"flash" in the parameters to make the unit run reliably at that speed?  I am curious,
because it seems like the RasPi on the full Bitfury blades had a serious hand in "tuning"
each chip to it's best speed. I would guess that some major part of that infrastructure
had to be replicated, presumably in the Atmel processor?

Interesting engineering issues when you scale down from a blade to a USB stick.

Thanks for clarity and description.

Yes the heatsinks being used are the same as is in the video. They might be a little bit lower profile.

My understanding of the process that we go through is. Flash the firmware to each USB. After that we quality test each USB for 1-4 hours. Only the 100% working units are sent out to the resellers. We experienced some units hashing at 1.7 ghs in the last batch. So if we have that kind of problem again we will probably mine with slightly faulty ones or sell them cheaper.

For paypal orders there is no need to verify but you can put your bitcointalk username in the customer notes section if you would like. Btw got some more orders in ill update shortly keep them coming, hopin to see a btc order soon!

[XenoCypher]

I ordered one the other night. Seriously can't wait to get it. Will most likely be buying more once I get to "play around" with the first one and see how well it works out for me

[Maidak]

Thanks for the order looking forward to deliverying them these are now considered a "BLUE FURY" since the PCB will be blue. Keep bringing these orders in almost half way to a 100 the buy will be closing on the 25th! Still no order with bitcoin unfortunately

The price per unit via BTC is significantly less than the straight USD purchases. Even at 0.9 BTC the unit would be around $115. While the paypal purchases are $139. Not knit picking, just pointing out the obvious... everyone should be buying them with the BTC is they want em. The discount is fairly worth while

I know right! The price for paypal is mainly because of the fees actually.

[XenoCypher]

Yeah - its totally understandable haha I don't blame for the PP price I blame paypal for that

[metal_jacke1]

Is there any other stock photos besides the one all the resellers have?

Not knit picking, just pointing out the obvious... everyone should be buying them with the BTC is they want em. The discount is fairly worth while

I think this all depends on your situation and perspective. My situation:

I don't have .9 Bitcoin to just fling off to somebody. I have to start trying to navigate the the murky
waters of "buying" Bitcoin. While MtGox is happy to quote a range of prices, it's completely
non-obvious on how to convert USD to Bitcoin in a safe, reliable, and relatively "inexpensive" way.
I'll bet if I just wanted to get .9 Bitcoin at least half that $24 difference would disappear before
my .9 Bitcoin arrived. I found one guide that suggested I could use Paypal to buy some kind of
other "virtual currency" (SEPA?), that could then be converted Bitcoin. Of course at every stage
of the process, somebody has their hand out to get their cut, which just ends up increasing
the price to me for that actual .9 Bitcoin. Maybe that all drops into the noise category if you are
buying hundreds of Bitcoin.

The other reason to use Paypal is that I am no longer powerless should Maidak turn out
not be a legitimate seller. While I am re-assured by his presence on Ebay, and the relationship
he seems to have with BPMC, the whole Bitcoin/Pre-Order/Group-Buy universe is fraught
with risk. Maybe I am just too sensitized the BFL fiasco, but there is still quite a bit of
"Wild West" mentality out here at the moment. I've been reading about folks who placed
orders with BFL more than 6 months ago that have gotten refunds from Paypal once this guy
figured out the process and correct folks to talk to Paypal. Or in other cases, folks who
mention a PayPal dispute, all of sudden had their hardware get shipped. To me that kind of
service has some value to me. The Bitcoin purchasers of course are at the mercy of BFL's
"No Refund" stance.

Don't get me wrong on this. I think BPMC and Maidak are all "Stand up" folks. I think they have
a real, legitimate product, and are likely to become the new  "Block Erupter" unless friedcat starts
to give them away. I think Maidak will make this happen, absent some tragedy.

On a more upbeat note, why does it matter if there are any Bitcoin purchasers in this Group
Buy? I don't understand the mechanics of how Maidak buys the product from BPMC.

P.S I guess my status will make it obvious that I am a complete (3 month) newbie with Bitcoin.

Thanks and hope you reach your target.

I've given up on BFL.
I've yet received their over priced paper weight.
It would be something if I receive this Fury first.

Ordered 1 from Maidak. Paid via bitcoin. Nice and easy transaction. Very helpful when saying how to sign a message!

Can't wait till it comes in!

Yes shipping is free for paypal orders and bitcoin orders all usa domestic if your close to the 43430 area code you can even do local pickup if you would like, just send me a PM or contact my live chat support if you have any questions!

Currently up to 60 total orders! Just would like to thank everyone and note that this will be closing on the 25th at 11:59pm EST, I am currently working on a dedicated website for future group buy purchases that will even further simplify btc and paypal orders. You will no longer need to sign messages verifying your shipping address.

[merlin3650]

I noticed your Ebay order. Do you plan on adding more to it? Also, if i wanted more, would you be willing to work with me through Ebay instead of the group buy here on the forums?

Thanks! so who is making these USB. Sorry, I am not able to find the company who is making these.

[crudpuppy]

+1 from paypal from me.  Placed order for some bitcoin on coinbase then realize it wont release intime for me to order that way :-(

Back again with hopefully my last question for awhile -

Will these currently run/be recognized under Windows 7? If not do we have any kind of time line on support?

[altcoiner]

facebook page doesnt even exist 


i have only one question: that iron throne is included in the package???

Lol no unfortunatly they do not and it should exsist i may have strict privacy problems

[demonmaestro]

IS there going to be details on how to properly mine with these or are they going to be plug and play?

[crudpuppy]

It is my understanding from the release thread that this software should be ok or soon be ok
"Software that supports or is working to support Blue Fury miners:
Bfgminer
Bitminter
Cgminer"

See release details of the shipment we are getting in on here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=299295

[cchan]

Is the delivery time guaranteed ?

[ssinc]

IS there going to be details on how to properly mine with these or are they going to be plug and play?

Currently it only runs in Linux. I have a setup guide in my Group Buy OP that is really easy to follow.

:/ Hmm.. I hope it may run on the Pi. I will look at your post.

[Atomar]

I also need them to run on my Pi !! Using PIckaxe right now and it runs GOOD and stabel !!

[crudpuppy]

Supposedly by the time we get em even windows cgminer etc would likely support but for those using Pi I want to just havnt yet that is a Linux based system so yes should work with bfgminer on the Pi.

We are also working on Minepeon support.

[Maidak]

9 hours left on this keep them coming!

[morphKET]

Just put in an order for 2 sticks! Woot Woot. Will certainly be getting more in the near future. Kudos to Maidak for being very helpful and communicating all the way. Keep up the good work

[crudpuppy]

I only ordered 1 if I had more funds would be more but others will have to wait...now just to hope when I do get funds I can find someone with em to sell.

[Maidak]

I'll have left over stock from this group buy that I will be selling so not all hope is lost.

[demonmaestro]

So Maidak. How soon should we expect our miners?  I know you said the first or second week but when will you know for sure?

Well i'm hoping within first week of october the day I receive them I will be shipping all of them but as for a certain date i'm waiting to hear back from BPMC.

[Naelr]

I wouldn't mind grabbing 1 or 2 of these but it doesn't appear your going to reach your goal, if you don't does this group buy just end?

[Cascaders28]

Just put my order in for one! I'll just have to hope for Windows support by the time they're released

[XenoCypher]

I'll have left over stock from this group buy that I will be selling so not all hope is lost.

I'll prob be buying more in early to mid October if your stock lasts that long.

Just put my order in for one! I'll just have to hope for Windows support by the time they're released

^I'm really hoping for the windows support as well. Would suck if I got it and couldn't use it on my machine. I'm not running a dual boot set-up anymore, and would rather not have to for a few USB sticks lol

[Maidak]

Group buy is official closed almost hit that 100 mark but close enough thanks alot guys looking forward to shipping these out!

[morphKET]

Ugh, if I'd have made my initial order of 8, you'd have been fine :/ But if you will have some still left over next week, I might scoop up a few more

[Maidak]

Ugh, if I'd have made my initial order of 8, you'd have been fine :/ But if you will have some still left over next week, I might scoop up a few more

I'm getting extra that I will use I didnt add them to the group buy though, only the original 5 I started this off with, so technically I did hit over 100.

[crudpuppy]

Hope you or someone picked up some for resale or more will be available cause if I have money and they pan out well will get more for my setup! 

[demonmaestro]

Well i got a ubuntu machine all by its self just waiting for these fury little miners.

[onryo]

Hi Maidak,

Thanks for the pm. Nice to know all went well with the payment. Will you be sending a email with a tracking number when the time comes? Just so we know you actually sent our devices. This also would be a bit of a safety for you since you are selling with PP. Would be nice if you could also put our names down on the list. All this will build seller trust for future group buys you make.

All the best! Can't wait for my stuff to arrive

All tracking for paypal payments will show as tracked and you can check from there, I will also be sending out a email. As for all bitcoin payments I will also update by email.

[crudpuppy]

Suppose to be first or second week of oct lets hope for first so we can get these baby's hashing faster :-)

Oh they updated hardware post with some beta windows drivers for those that wanted the windows side - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=299295.msg3208835#msg3208835

[pandemic]

[Maidak]

Will do! Ill open up my second group buy the day the first shipment comes in.

[demonmaestro]

come on i want some more good news today. Do you have an eta yet?

[Maidak]

come on i want some more good news today. Do you have an eta yet?

the order for the bitfury chips were sent to the manufacturer all they need to do is slap the chips in the pcb and send them out to me. As long as everything keeps going well like it is should have these shiped out by the first week. Ill update you all as soon as I hear anything new this is what i have been told so far.

[demonmaestro]

well tomorrow is the beginning of the month. depending on where you live... lol.
cannot wait.

[Maidak]

well tomorrow is the beginning of the month. depending on where you live... lol.

Well these are being shipped to me via express, I just got word in it looks like a more accurate date for shipping is going to be between the 11th and 15th of this month. Of course this could be sooner however I have reopened and it looks like I can still get a limited amount of orders in until they ship to me.

[demonmaestro]

damn. thats more like the 3rd week of october. 

[Maidak]

damn. thats more like the 3rd week of october. 

I think the reasoning for this is incase any hicups happen during manufacture. They hopefull should be in sooner but well see here ill know more by the end of this week.

Maybe I'm just being retarded tonight, but when I go to the paypal check out, how do I change my order quantity from 1 to 2 lol? Dumb question I know... I blame the alcohol lol

[demonmaestro]

i had heard from somewhere that you could only buy 1 via paypal.

How do I order more than 1 unit with Paypal without paying $25.00 for shipping each

I am trying to limit international orders to only 1 for paypal contact me by PM if you want to order multiple units.

[Maidak]

If you wan't it PM'd feel free to let me know. I'll be sending emails to all the paypal emails and replying to the bitcoin ones when I have tracking info for your orders.

OK.  Thank you for making it an option and for your prompt reply.

Edit: Also, since I don't see shipping rates for the US in the OP, is the shipping included in the prices then?

[XenoCypher]

Ordered 2 more plus the one I had previously. Good days are ahead..... I can feel it

Let's just pray the diff doesn't go through the roof in the mean time lol

[Atomar]

Next Diff. in 4D 16H -> 180M ;-)

[XenoCypher]

Next Diff. in 4D 16H -> 180M ;-)

Even at that rate... still making bank. So its all good to me

[onryo]

Might be a few days delay it would seem. From OutCast3k GB on this same device.

--------
OutCast3k
As far as I'm aware after speaking with him the PCBs are manufactured in China and there was a Chinese holiday at the start of the month which delayed shipment of those slightly, on top of that beastlymac initially wasn't able to contact the bitfury team because of the forums down time. All of which put this project behind schedule slightly. I was told at very worst they would ship by the middle of the month to myself and the other resellers.

Beastlymac
Yep Chinese holidays have caused some issues with pcb availability. Everything is ordered and inbound to fabrication.
---------

From Oct 1 - Oct 7 is so called "National Day Golden Week Holiday. Well back to the sweat shops kids!. "Happy week" is over!

No wonder there are so many people in China with this much free time
- Chinese people legally enjoy over 115 days off including 104 days of weekends and 11 days of festivals.

http://www.travelchinaguide.com/essential/public-holiday.htm

[crudpuppy]

Chinese people also enjoy a very overbearing government that kills them if they want to speak out against it.  So yeah pick your evil...lol

[Maidak]

Still taking orders in for these I'll be closing either when we hit the 100 extra units ordered or before they are shipped to me. If your ordering by paypal check out the new store I am currently working on bitcoinminerz.com btc payment also works and no need to sign any more messages. There is no registration required just put the item in your cart and checkout.

[stupidnic]

I was trying out the site and when I went to setup the shipping I got this:

Free USPS Priority Shipping:   $99.00

I am not sure that is setup correctly. Unless I am really not hip to this new meaning/concept of "free".

I have ordered some from ssinc already, but I would like to order a couple more from you to hedge my bets (so to speak). Suss this out and I will order two more via the site to help you test it out.

[stupidnic]

Alright... Almost there. Last item.

It won't let me checkout because it doesn't think there is enough stock to fill the order. Technically... it is right. But you know...

Found the issue for that thanks for filling me in! btctalk656 use this coupon when checking out for a discount.

[stupidnic]

I tried to use the code and it said "Warning: Coupon is either invalid, expired or reached it's usage limit!"

So either somebody else used it, or that is something else that needs to be addressed.

[stupidnic]

Don't sweat it. I ordered two units, and the process went smoothly.

[Maidak]

Don't sweat it. I ordered two units, and the process went smoothly.

Awesome glad to know! I have updated the paypal button in the forums where you can now select a quantity of how many miners you wish to purchase before checking out.

If you checkout now on the website use BTC5OFF for 5% off any order, also offers other various payment methods bitcoin, bank wire, western union and paypal.

[Cascaders28]

Do we have any further updates on how far along these are?

[crudpuppy]

Hey Maidak Like the new site bookmarked!
Some products need to be more clear like:
http://bitcoinminerz.com/Products/mining-accessories/raspberry-pi?product_id=12
Includes Pi or just accessory pack?  also you have the lcd screen option to add but no details on which LCD of the several there are out there it is.

I've been meaning to get a Pi to play with as my miner get this cgminer window off my main desktop(I work off it so its always on but more windows open = more confusion)
Granted no extra funds for the 149.95 pack even if it with Pi right at moment but maybe soon...hehe

Oh yeah I'm a freelance PHP developer...this isn't OScommerce but seems similar what cart system you using?

[Naelr]

Nice site do you accept BTC on the site?


edit


Never mind I figured it out!

DAMN coupon code already expired.

[Naelr]

Just wanna give a shout out to Maidak on http://bitcoinminerz.com/

I ordered the PI and one of the anker hubs (not noticing they were 3.0)

almost immediately I got an email from customer support saying the anker hubs they had were not compatible with the Pi. Did I know and did I want him to process the order anyway?  Then I get a chat window on the page I was still logged into on the site and it is Maidak wanting to know if I was sure in my order.  I thought it over and instead took 2 Dlinks for less then the anker (getting 3 more usable mining ports).  He then offered me the difference back in BTC and I was so happy with the support I just told him to keep it.  No the difference wasn't a deal breaker but hell after an experience like that I will be going back for more later. 

Thanks Maidak, shit like that makes people happy and you money.. keep up the good work.

You guys are all to kind! I would just like everyone to know there is limited amount of units left for this group buy that I have already ordered. After this group buy is over I will have units in hand for immediate shipping.

[Maidak]

7 units left guys shipping very soon.

Hello I just ordered 1 unit through paypal.

Thank you and awaiting updates.

Keep up the good work.

make it 6 units left.

[sebdude420]

what price can i get on asicminers usbs?

[Maidak]

I've gotten a few orders in only 6 pre order units left. Lets get these purchased up before they ship them out! As for the asicminer usbs the price on the webstore will be updated Wednesday.

[XenoCypher]

Any new updates on these yet boss? I'm dying over here to get em in my hands and start hashing :-/

[Maidak]

Any new updates on these yet boss? I'm dying over here to get em in my hands and start hashing :-/

From what I was told 250 units are going to be shipped out wed but how they are going to be distributed is still undecided they may send a % of orders to each group buy runner. If they do this I will ship the units in the order the payment was received. Another possible method they may do is sending the units in the order they received the payment for the group buy. Which I can say with confidence I was one of the first people to send my payment so I believe either way I will get some units shipped to me. I should know more by tomorrow on how this is going to work out.

[Maidak]

8 more pre order units have been added that need to be sold asap! out of the 14 currently 6 are on reserve so that leaves 8 units left to purchase.

And I'd like to know if anything has been communicated to those organizing the Group Buys, and since I participated in this GB I decided to direct my questions here.

Production will be starting Tuesday or Wednesday next week. Compensation is still being figured out once we have some solid decision I will inform everyone in the product thread.

[crudpuppy]

These group bys are reseller threads that are authorized by the product company so any compensation from main should be passed down.  But until beastly sets something up which would be posted in main thread there wont be anything to know here.  Basically follow this and the product thread and you pretty much have all the info you are gonna get :-)

So Tuesday or Wednesday which would be the 22nd or 23rd, production will start? So does that mean we can expect actual shipping during the last week of the month or the first week of next month (November)?

[crudpuppy]

If Production is able to start at full speed they can produce 400ish a day meaning if they start tomorrow group by coordinators might have by end of this week and then be reshipping to us.  This is best case of course.

[XenoCypher]

Any new updates on this yet for us?

[Maidak]

Any new updates on this yet for us?

Production started today and the shipping should be happening this week or early next week they produced 200 units today and plan for 400 tomorrow. Until 1800 is reached then they will be shipping to me.

On another note I have added a special bitcoin price on the store for the last remaining 21 extra units I have plans to sell of 0.7 BTC per unit ordered here http://bitcoinminerz.com/Products/Bitcoin-miners/Blue-Fury-USB I only have 21 units of my own left to sell. This price adjustment is due to the increase in BTC recently.

[crudpuppy]

Sites says .75 not .7 but either way if I had it right now.  .75BTC to USD at coinbase 153.39 so paypal at 139.99 is better :-)

[gjpminingco]

UPDATE: I am posting this For Maidak



Site has Updated New BTC Price is 0.5999 BTC for the BLUE FURY's

ENJOY THE LOWER PRICES

[Beastlymac]

Just so people know.

300 units will be shipped out Friday and the following 1500 shipped Tuesday next week.

Just a little photo of units on the production line.



We will announce the compensation after we have completed shipping all the units.

[Maidak]

Paypal is enabled again on bitcoinminerz.com theres still 21 extra units I'll be receiving when the shipment is here sometime next week.

[philipma1957]

I WENT to your site and the sticks are listed at 139.99 yet this thread has 129.99 in more then one spot.

 I also typed in your discount code BTC5OFF and it does not work. 


So what do you want for a paypal price.
139.99 or
 129.99 or
139.99 - 5% off = 132.99

This is exactly what happend I am currently dealing with the fraud risk management department with paypal. I have however corrected it to where I can at least receive payments, but the company labeled me as a e-currency dealer/exchanger Which is not what I am doing I'm just selling the hardware. This is with the paypal compliance department. I have to fax them a notarized document explaining my business model.

As for the fraud department, they are very very weary about the $13k+ USD that has gone into the paypal and out of it. They do not approve of the "pre-order" business model if I want to continue using Paypal in a future group buy I will need to look into getting a small business loan since all funds now going into my paypal are on reserve until products have been shipped.

I did not think I had this many hoops to jump through to run a group buy but it has been quite hectic I do thank you guys for holding your orders and supporting me in this and for your patience. Absolute worse case senario I drop paypal as a payment processor and I add direct credit card processing on bitcoinminerz.com to still give it a ease of payment for the guys who can't acquire bitcoins as easily.

[crudpuppy]

For the direct card processing Not sure what cart system that is but I'm sure authorize.net should have a payment module for it as they do most major ecommerce system out there.  Most any of these will require a merchant account and all that jazz though just FYI.

[madpoet]

I did snag one this morning.  Sorry pp is such a hassle for sellers.

[Maidak]

I did snag one this morning.  Sorry pp is such a hassle for sellers.

Yeah it has been quite a pain. Any orders through paypal right now would really help to cover the costs of refunds theres now 18 units left over from the total ordered.

[crudpuppy]

Guess that number hasn't drop like it should of with people increasing it backing out. 

Oh and they announced their compensation on product thread today for all those who were worried about it...hehe

[philipma1957]

do you still have any of these?

[Naelr]

do you still have any of these?

yes he does.... http://bitcoinminerz.com/Blue-Fury-USB

[demonmaestro]

So whats the word on shipping.

[sebdude420]

Hey I ordered with PayPal and was wondering how will the compensation be for us? I do not want to cancel because I support what your doing and don't want to cause more issues with your PayPal account but by now i could have gone and bought more GHS at CEX.IO.

[frga13]

So, can I order Blue Fury from bitcoinminerz.com and pay with paypal?

[Maidak]

Yes you can order on bitcoinminerz.com and pay with paypal. I have tracking information and its scheduled for delivery friday. Depending on the time I will have a majority of the units out friday or saturday.

[frga13]

ok, I'm making order now... thx

EDIT: uh, shipping is almost 38 $.. I have to think a little bit more about ordering..

[demonmaestro]

[stex2009]

[Cascaders28]

Did you get a tracking number? Any indication of how many units you'll be recieving in your first shipment?

[Maidak]

Did you get a tracking number? Any indication of how many units you'll be recieving in your first shipment?

Yes I got tracking number of units I believe is 80 currently I should get tracking for remaining units but I will be packing the first 80 in the order the payments were received. As for any compensations I will be waiting to organize this after all units have been shipped out and is hashing at your home please refrain from PMing me your btc address or paypal addy for refunds.

[Maidak]

I would like everyone to know there will be 11 extra units in stock you can order them through bitcoinminerz.com they'll be shipping next week.

[crudpuppy]

When you getting BTC payment fixed on the site maidak?

[philipma1957]

I would like to order one does it plug n play to Bitminter java client?  If not why?

I have to say these sticks are nice looking and I could sell them like hotcakes on ebay.  

The roll out has been really bad on these.  

  AM sold close to 1/2 million usb sticks.  this is such a perfect upgrade I just don't understand why they are not being pushed correctly.

DrHaribo is currently working on incorporating it right now. I had a chat with him a couple of days ago and he is making good headway. In regards to the roll out yes I agree it was a bumpy ride but we have learnt a lot for the future!

I'm working on putting it back on today, units are in KY right now was hoping to start packing up this morning does not look like it will happen until the end of the day.

[Maidak]

I just want to inform everyone here that looks like I wont be shipping today they had it scheduled to arrive but apparently customs is holding it and requesting my tax ID its only a state away :\ I'm currently waiting a call back from them. Looks like I will be shipping either saturday or monday.

[demonmaestro]

 

[XenoCypher]

Anything new in the past couple days on the status of these yet?

[drewage]

Anything new in the past couple days on the status of these yet?

I was wondering the same thing.  I'd hate to think they're still sitting in customs.

[Maidak]

Anything new in the past couple days on the status of these yet?

Yes they got released from customs as soon as I gave them a tax ID number they were suppose to come saturday I called and looks like I wont see it until monday, I'll be shipping out the units monday.

[crudpuppy]

Can't wait to put these in with my usb erupters course I hope I can get em to work with cgminer in winblows since that is what my current setup is but the support thread seems to indicate otherwise.

Just finished packing all the units I have received a total of 80 units, I'll be sending them out tomorrow morning. The remaining units I got tracking for so these should be shipped out by thursday or friday.

[Digi7ech]

Woohoo! Thx

Getting my Raspi configured this week 

[demonmaestro]

  no tracking number.

[Maidak]

no tracking number.

Dont worry your close in line you'll see tracking today after i'm off work or tomorrow when the second half of my shipment arrives. Its scheduled for thursday by the end of the day. Just dropped off the first half of the units as for compensation from the manufacturer how I will be handling this is a secondary thread after your package has arrived you will be using your tracking number to confirm the amount of units and btc that will be sent to you. This will be after all units are shipped so you guys who have units on the way keep ahold of your tracking number. Also if you paid a price of $129 each or less per unit you will not be eligible for the manufacturer discount. This is because your wait in line with the pre order was far less then the others who paid a higher premium. Hence why the price was reduced essentially it was included into the pricing structure.

[XenoCypher]

WOOT! I got a tracking number

[crudpuppy]

Sucks most people are only getting 2.25Gh ish outta these max but still ready to get mine added to my lil farm...hehe

[Maidak]

Yeah there needs to be some firmware tweaks or something with them. I tested only a handful of my own units for a hour I had them going at about 2.3 - 2.45 out of the 10 I tested on win 7 with bfgminer took alot of toying around to get it to work with the asicminer usbs as well.

All i'm asking for is the tracking number I send to you, the amount of units you purchased, your bitcoin address you want the refund to be sent to and if you want your bitcointalk.org username not the bitcoin address you used to send the payment. haha i'll clarify it in the thread.

If you used PP then you probably order through his site and should have an account and all thus what message/thank you were u expecting?  PMs and email depends on how long you gave him(and probably what email you sent to).  Especially considering right now he is concentrated on his main work plus getting these out as he gets them and trying to organize the refund for those that ordered before price drops. 

Basically not every pre-order etc is BFL so people relax :-)

Try hitting the reset button on it does it show in device manager? I had to disable and enable in device manager to get it to show up.

[XenoCypher]

It shows in device manager, it just wont enable whenever I run BFGMiner.

I unplugged my BE's from the hub too.... no dice.

I'll try hitting the button though and see what happens.

Anytime I try and launch from the BAT file, BFGMiner just shits all over itself and crashes too lol.

God, I really need a smoke right now lol

(Hit the rest button, still no go)

New error now, the BF is showing on COM11. And now windows is bitching at me that I do not have access to open COM11 O.o

I don't understand why the guy was complaining that he got no thank you. I got a confirmation after placing the order. Then I got a tracking number two or three days later. Puting my goods in the mail quickly is plenty thanks for me.

Any tips for getting these babies working with a Rpi working with my Jalapeno's and BE's. Cgminer or Bfgminer. Can I stick em in the same hub with BE's. Maybe someone post a setup guide?

I used this BFgMiner
http://www.mediafire.com/download/819me4zvdju8lyg/bfgminerWin.zip

Install the driver inside the zip then edit the batch file.

bfgminer.exe -o http://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u Username -p password -G -S "BF1:\\.\COM4"

Change url to what ever pool you have and find the Com port windows assigned to it and that was it.

So looks good so far, but when I run ./cgminer -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u name -p pwd I get:
[2013-11-08 21:41:07] bitfury detect (253:12) failed to initialise (incorrect device?)

Any help would be highly appreciated.

don't you need to specify the COM port?  Not familiar with Mac myself, but on Windows it is needed.  Something like this:

-S //./COM5

and also is there a cgminer_no_gpu file you can run?  that's what I use for asic miners
