[BPMC] Blue Fury USB ~2.6GH/s 0.88BTC [Australia/NZ]

Ok.. so it's now 3rd week of October.. given the 2nd week of October deadline + 1 week delay.. We'd expect you to have units on the way to your door right now.. And if not that, an actual ETA date.

There was a delay in China due to a holiday. Anything from China went into chaos.

I'm interested in buying 1-5 shipped to New Zealand. Are there any available, how much would shipping be & what's the current expected timeline?

4th week of October. What's the latest excuse? link anyone?

Thank you

[Zeek_W]

Oh boy - Nearly there!

[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.

[Zeek_W]

The compensation package sounds interesting.

Hi Julz
Any news on these?

[julz]

These have landed in Sydney, and I've paid the duties. Hopefully I'll have them tomorrow.

[julz]

I have these in hand. Shipping now.

Julz, thanks for the direct delivery.
I managed to get it going, but the results are strange.  Not sure if it is a faulty device or something else.  Running the latest BFGMiner  (3.4.0).  The rest of the installation is per Beastlymac in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=299295.0.  To avoid interactions with other things it is running entirely alone, on a separate Win7 64 PC as a single device on a powered hub.  I am getting a very high H error rate (about 61% after about 40 minutes) and the hash rate is about 2.26GH/sec (on Slush's pool).  I tried resetting the device, the miner software etc, but there is no improvement.  I wonder if it is a faulty device or a configuration problem.

More exploration:  Using the older bfgminer 3.2.0 with the original batch file seems to solve the high H rate.  The hash rate remains however close to 2.26 GH/sec.

Cheers

I think it is something to do with the latest version of bfgminer. I would try either our version or the latest cgminer version. Alternatively if you can install a Ubuntu vm or just install Ubuntu and dual boot I would recommend that.

Thanks Beastlymac, I'll try these suggestions.  As I already found, with the original modified bfgminer 3.2.0 that you recommend in your guide, the H error issue is gone, but the hash rate remains lower than expected at about 2.26 GH/sec.
(Life would be boring without some little puzzles like this one...

Here it is on Win7

and here on Ubuntu 13.10

In all tests got an average hash rate of about 2.26 GH/sec

I have a package from julz, exciting!

[Zeek_W]

Arrived, working FINALLY after a lot of screwing about. Not julz' fault.

A+ on the shipping.

EDIT: apparently beastly is sorting out the compensation stuff with you shortly.
