Hi all.. Newbie here
I've currently got 8 Erupters running on a 12v 4am hub.
I have an old socket 775 pc I'm using for my 24/7 bitcoin rig.
I've added a couple of pci usb cards to it for extra ports for when I can eventually buy more.
Now I've gotten hold of 2 x Bluefury usb sticks.
Took about an hour to get that BF1.ini file to be accepted as a driver for them.
They are being seen in printers and devices (and are ok under device manager)
However, when probed in Bitminter they just time out.. BFGminer doesn't even see them (the ordinary program or the one from the bluefury support thread that comes with the BF1.ini file)
My computer specs for the rig are:
Asus P5Q SE PLUS
8GB G. Skill DDR2 1066 5-5-5-15 RAM
Intel Core 2 duo E8500
Gigabyte 7770
Small SSD boot + 2 older, not so big sata 2 hdd's
2 x 8 port pci usb/firewire cards (4 usb ports external, 1 internal + 2 firewire ports)
Corsair HX750 psu
Thermaltake Element G case
(reason for the specs = older components & was planning on selling it)
OS = Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with SP1.
I've tried these sticks on multiple ports and in the hub. They simply cannot get past the "probe com # XX timed out" problem.
Have also tried them on a socket 1366 pc in both usb 2 and 3 ports. Exactly the same problem.
The red LED is lit up. What do I need to do to make these things work? Or is it my bad luck that I've gotten 2 bad ones.
