Blue Fury Miners V2 2.6Gh/s

[Beastlymac]

Just got my BF and it's running on Win7 with BFGminer 3.4.0, but the results are strange.  The hash rate is about 2.26GH/S and the HW error rate is HUGE ~ 61% after more than 40 minutes.  Tried resetting BFG, reinserting the device but there is no change.  Is it faulty?

It shouldn't have any issues can you try our version of bfgminer for windows? Or cgminer or our version of bfgminer on Ubuntu or raspbian.

Also please continue the comment in this thread.

Beastlymac,
Thanks for the quick response.  I solved the H error rate by going to the original modified bfgminer 3.2.0.  The hash rate is still 2.26 GH/sec.  I posted this in the support thread.

Could we please get tracking info for our shipment?

[bitpop]

I got tracking

I got tracking

When I said "we" I was referring to my company Crypto Rig LLC.

Maybe companies are exempt

Can they work on mac? is there a driver?

[BitcoinValet]

Having trouble getting these to run on Windows. I installed them and updated the drivers manually. The ports start at 143 since I installed so many block erupters and hubs, not sure if that is part of the problem.

I tried the alpha drivers and ran #mine.bat and I get an error that I do not have permission to open the com port that the bit fury miner is on. I get the same error if I try to use the 3.5 version of cg miner. I have tried disabling all other devices, rebooting, and using other mining programs, but I cannot get these to run. I am going to try this on one of my RPis since I cannot get them working on Windows unless someone here can hopefully help.

Still waiting on my tracking info...

Follow the directions to install the driver, if you are using windows 8 - 8.1 you need to disable driver signing verification.

Then edit the batch script that came with the driver pack "#mine.bat" or create a new one and paste the code below:

Code:

@echo off
@setlocal enableextensions

:: ### SETTINGS #####################################
set poolurl=
set workername=
set workerpass=
:: ##################################################

@cd /d "%~dp0"

title BitFury - Mining Script
set ROOT=%CD%
cd %CD%

echo -------------------------------------------------
echo ---------- BitFury - Mining Script --------------
echo ------------- by: Pyrex@tisnetworks.net ---------
echo -------------------------------------------------
echo.

goto Check_Permissions

:Check_Permissions
    echo Administrative permissions required. 
    echo Detecting permissions...
    echo.

    net session >nul 2>&1
    if %errorLevel% == 0 (
        echo Success: Administrative permissions confirmed!
        echo.
	goto MiningStart
    ) else (
        echo Failure: Current permissions inadequate!
	goto Quit
    )

:MiningStart
bfgminer.exe -S "BF1:all" -o %poolurl% -u %workername% -p %workerpass%
echo Press anykey to Exit!
goto Quit

:Quit
pause >NUL

Then just edit the variables at the top of the batch script inside the settings comment block: poolurl, workername, workerpass

Example:

Code:

:: ### SETTINGS #####################################
set poolurl=stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333
set workername=Pyrex.Worker1
set workerpass=password1
:: ##################################################

Then just run the batch script as administrator and it will work just fine!

Enjoy man!

Trying to get it to work together with my block erupters with bfgminer 3.3.0 on OS X.
Using the command "bfgminer -S /dev/cu.usbmodemfd534121 --scan-serial erupter:all"
(/dev/cu.usbmodemfd534121 is the address of the blue fury)

It picks up all the erupters, but I always get "/dev/cu.usbmodemfd534121 is already in use by another process"
I've tried restarting and RSTing multiple times, but I still always get that error.

I also tried just doing "bfgminer -S /dev/cu.usbmodemfd534121" (to see if it by itself, without the erupters, would work) but got the same error.

Has anyone had any luck with this, or know what's causing it?

Thanks

[SigurdDragonslayer]

It looks like it picks it up if I do

"bfgminer --scan-serial bigpic:all"

Then I just get 1 item, BPM 0, but then I get a segmentation fault 11 immediately

 BF1 0:                | 2.018G/1.930Gh/s | A:410 R:2 HW:0 WU:28.4/m

Thought these things were 2.2-2.7 Gh/s?

This is with cgminer 3.7.2.  Any suggestions?

Derp.  Not sure how I missed that.  Thanks.

You are welcome... lots of threads easy to miss.

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!

That may be true, but these use only a fraction of the power of a blade.

For the same power consumption of one 10 GH blade, you can run 30 Blue Fury units totalling 60 GH or more.

Also, does that BTC1.1 include a power supply?

or the price of hosting a stratum proxy and the greater cost of network swithces vs usb hubs? After the pain of setting up two old style blades i swore to myself that i would not buy another at any price.

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.
