[EU/UK GROUP BUY] Blue Fury USB miner 2.2 - 2.7 GH/s

[OutCast3k]

A usb 2.0 hub should provide enough power for the unit to mine at 2.7gh/s. Where you mining with Blues at the same time? As blues seem to screw with the communication of most other devices.

One was a 7 port d-link, I'd have to check the other USB make and get back to you. No, nothing else was in the hub.

I have a friend I've since spoken to, who has a 'nanofury' from someone else off of ebay, and also has the same problem when using d-link and other usb 2 hubs, so I guess its a compatibility issue

replacements have been shipped

Whoop!    Shame I'm off to a wedding tomorrow, hopefully Posty will arrive before we go.

*sigh* Another pointless product then.   

I built a few by myself. I have been running them for weeks now, using bfgminer and cgminer. on linux. I used 2.0 Hubs, f.ex. DLink-7 but also cheaper ones. I mixed them with erupters and a blue fury.

I asked a friend to test them on windows. He told me, that they have been working too.

If they are worthless for you I make you an offer: I buy them for 0.02BTC.

Stay off the drugs...

You said they are pointless. I just gave them a little worth. I think a little is better than nothing. No reason to get impolite.

2x Furies received and hashing.   One had a lumpy start (lots of retries and recalibrations) but is hashing at 2.19GH, the other is 2.0GH on the nose.

Received - thanks OC!

[Olly_K]

mine came today but without a name on the jiffy bag, luckily they made their way to me at work

thanks again OC

whoops, sorry about that... glad you received them though

[Olly_K]

NP !

EDIT - EURGH, just plugged 1 of the 2 in and it doesn't work. It's very tight in the USB port and it doesn't register in windows. The other works fine though.

I think I'm just gonna throw the dodgy one in the bin or maybe have a closer look over the weekend.

thanks

:/ Beastlymac said that they'd all be tested. Let us know how you get on..

[Olly_K]

will do. I'll probably just buy a new USB connector and solder the new one on

Hi,

Received, thanks.

Anyone got these working in bfgminer (3.9.0) on linux (ubuntu 12.04)?

I've got the hidapi libraries built and installed but the nanofurys are not being detected (When I tun hidapi-test app the NanoFurys are detected so I think hidapi is installed correctly).

When I do the following :

Code:

./bfgminer -D -d?

I get :

Code:

 [2013-12-31 12:54:34] hidapi_try_lib: Couldn't load libhidapi.so: libhidapi.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

 [2013-12-31 12:54:34] hid_devinfo_scan: Failed to load any hidapi library   

I can see the libraries are present in /usr/share/libs /usr/local/lib but they don't seem to be being picked up (wrong install directory?)

Any pointers or links would be appreciated (been looking on bitcointalk for over 2 hours).

** EDIT **

Ok - Ignore the above.  Added a quick and dirty hack to BFGMiner source so library paths are now hard-coded and Nanos are working fine with my block eruptors and BlueFury's.  Must be some path variable I am missing (although setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH didn't seem to work for me).

I will inquire on the BFGminer thread when I get a moment.

Cheers

Dave (now happy!)

@DemocraticRepublic good to hear you fixed it, even if it did mean hacking the code yourself

Not quite. I run on
Linux euit-Laptop 3.2.0-57-generic #87-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 12 21:35:10 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux (ubuntu 12.04)
using bfgminer 3.8.1. It is working. But I switched to cgminer which works better for me.

Did you forget running "ldconfig" after installing hidapi?

[Olly_K]

Figured out the problem. One of the components on the PCB has been smashed. It's the 2R2 resistor/coil inductor thingy so I'll see what I can do about ordering the part online

[HellDiverUK]

Mine have 24 hours under their belts, still running perfectly.  Oddly enough off a DLink D7 hub.   Averaging 2.19GH and 2.00GH.

[Olly_K]

sweet. I think these are better than the bluefury's tbh.

If you want a higher hashrate up the osc bits in bfgminer to 53 or 54
