Bitminter also support the "BFx2 Bitfury USB stick miner"?
Not supported by Bitminter client. You can mine with it in the Bitminter pool though, using bfgminer or cgminer. OK, thanks for your fast answer greets

For what its worth, I've had issues over clocking my U1. It will happily overclock to 2.0 GH/S but anything over that and it errors out quite quickly. But when its running at 2.0 is has a staggeringly low number of errors as compared to the old 336 mh/s Block Eruptors that I've used in the past.

That is where all my U1's and even U2's (apart from some @ 2.1 and some others @ 1.9) spend all their time stable. other's can do more with voltage modfying but i haven't a clue what that invloves. With the price those miners are, 2GH/s is a pretty good value and easy to setup.

Funny that on my windows 7 i can ran my bitmain u2 only on 1,8 with no hw errors, but on my apple mini mac i can run it at 2,2gh no problem and no errors. Bitminter does not go higher than 2,2 i saw, astroid did but made hw errors with 2-2,4gh's. Astroid is for apple.
Windows 7 with asicminer u1 is good on 2 gh's and with hw errors on 2,1gh/s.
Soon i hope to order s1's and butterfly's the 50gh/s's ...
will see.
Me just updating for what i learned allready.

Interesting note. It seems that my x64 Linux box is much more stable with my small array of U1 and U2 miners than my Win 7 Pro x64 laptop. My Win7 laptop would error out on random issues at least daily. My Linux Mint 16 setup runs MUCH more stable. Maybe it's the Java runtime? Windows uses the Sun/Oracle/Crap. My Linux machine (main machine) runs IcedTea...

Antminer S1 and S2 have their own built-in software. They do not need the Bitminter software to work and the latest firmware for the S1 doesn't need the proxy. You can use it to mine in your Bitminter pool. I do so with my S1. I have it set up as a "Worker".

I am not familiar with the S2 as I've only recently gotten my S1, so I don't have any real tips for the S2. What I found is the power supply is important. The S1 did not come with one and after some experimentation, which includes one dead power supply and a second one that got stressed, I found some inexpensive LED driver power supplies for less than $30 each and they have been quite reliable. Since my S1 is a dual blade, I got a power supply for each blade, costing less than $60 for the pair. Heat is your enemy, the S1 did not come with any heat sinks on the chips themselves. I bought 6mm, 8.8mm, and 14mm heat sinks to put on all the chips and regulators to help dissipate more heat. It has resulted in much more stability. Fans, the S1 only came with one, I put a second 120mm at the other end to draw air out, so they're in a push/pull pair. This has all been done on the bench for testing. Next up is enclosing the S1 and the power supplies and working on some basic convection and air flow to keep it all cooler, then move it to the basement where the temperature is always cooler than the rest of the house. I'm running reliably at 393MHz and my error rate is 0.8 with an easy average of 200GH/s. Anything above that produces an error rate so bad that the miner does less than 140GH/s.

This looks like exactly what I've been looking for! Can't wait to start running it. Is this the only forum for this miner?

Will Bitminter be including the functionality to control the Monarchs and Imperial Monarchs?
I will look into it. Any Progress?

I had the same problem. Doc just said the program was fickle about furies. Did you install its driver? the BF1.inf? If so bfgminer loves to run them, it pops up running before you even do a search for devices, same with the new BFx2 sticks (or bricks more aptly named). But thats what happened on my windows machine, not sure if mac has another workaround. Might wanna hit up the Blue (Red) Fury forum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=319419.0Sidenote: Whatcha workin on Doc? What's coming in the next miner? Any new support or features?

Hey Doc, you ever considered lowering the 1% fee? Especially with this GHash.io-nearing-51% situation, we might pull in enough additional mining power to lower the variance enough to actually increase overall fee revenue...at least worth looking into with a pool-wide promotion or something.

Working on some backend changes - haven't started on the next miner version yet. Hey Doc, you ever considered lowering the 1% fee?

It's hard to predict how miners react to fee changes. Also, most miners don't care if a pool gets too big. Sad but true. I'm considering a few options to grow the pool going forward. Nothing decided yet, though.

Yep, I'm seeing the same thing between my Lenovo PC and 2012 Macbook Pro. U2's can be overclocked to ~2.6 GH/s without any issue on the Mac, but the Lenovo puts out worse than a bad prom date at ~1.8.

Thanks for making such an easy to use interface! As a total newbie, it let me jump right in. Only one question, what do you do with the namecoins? I can't even find a wallet to put them in.

Glad you like it You can read about namecoins at namecoin.info and get a wallet. Or if you just want to sell them for bitcoins, you can send them directly to an exchange that takes namecoins.

Great Well, it wouldn't prevent DDOS attacks. It might make it a little more difficult for DDOS attackers to overload the server with getwork-requests. But it would also shut out honest miners who just prefer different software.
