In addition to the support topics you've got in mind, is there any chance you can share any background information on these please Beastlymac? I'm seeing a few around but no consistent story of where they're coming from, some are claiming they're you, some saying Technobit (marto). Do you know who's tweaked the design, what the changes are, and who is manufacturing/assembling/wholesale these?

They are coming from us. Not marto. Vs3 tweaked the design for us so that we would have better component availability.

I've got two here, very happy with them.  One's running at 2.77GH and the other at 2.55GH - both at 54.  Running them on bfgminer 3.9.0, plugged in to a DLink 7-port.  Also work fine on an aluminium Anker 10-port USB3 hub.

Have to agree they are a stud stick.  better then any of the other 1 chip bitfury sticks I am running 16 of them all at 54 overclock.

They range between 2.47 and 2.90

 I use 2  gearmo hubs


http://www.gearmo.com/shop/10-port-usb-3-hub-gm-3dh10/   with better quality power bricks.

I do have 1 question I can not seem to run more then 15 sticks on 1 pc using bfgminer.  but the 15 sticks do get me over  37.5 gh.  so I run 15 on 1 pc and 1 on another.

It seems like the drivers are having issues with large amounts of devices roughly 20+. I have notified Vs3

Units from us are distinctive with name Ice fury on the PCB , White PCB and silver heatsink, made in New Zealand. I have been arranging purchase through group buy leads.

Also looking for help with my new Ice Fury. I've tried all suggested NanoFury configurations but still get errors when starting:

nanofury_lowl_probe: Matched "NanoFury NF1 v0.7" serial "0000093289", but mcp2210 lowlevel driver failed to open it

This is white PCB with 'iceFury' text on Raspbian with latest hidapi and bfgminer 3.9.0.

Appreciate any help with getting this running or at least identifying what the problem is.

Where are you selling these Beastlymac?

Hi Irq, Can you say how many you have attached? have you tried plugging in one USB miner (starting with Ice F)at a time? I have seen this error once a thresh-hold seems to get breached, which presents itself along the lines of a maximum number of devices per USB controller. ie on Windows 7 on single controller I get device manager "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"

On Ubuntu Bfgminer I have seen " mcp2210 lowlevel driver failed to open it " again when more than x devices are attached to a single USB controller, I spread devices around multiple hubs and plugged in different USB controller ports which allowed up to 48 devices to be seen.

Current sales are via group buy leads you can message me and I can connect you with one closest to you.

I have only one Ice Fury and one block eruptor. If I plug in the Ice fury alone bfgminer shows no devices, the error is shown only when the block eruptor is present.

I purchased 50 Units and 19 of them were damaged in shipping. Why were these not put in cases?

Please pm snoopy_nzl in regards to damaged units. He handles shipping.

IRQ, Can you post your command startup string?
Also can you confirm version of bfgminer & OS used , and output from configure to show the driver is enabled?

For startup I have tried using the --set-device as below and with just -S all, neither worked.

Thanks again for the help.

Can you try a different OS? Running them on raspberry pi has issues with hidapi

Yes - I just got it running on a Windows laptop to rule out chip issues.

Is the issue with the Raspberry hardware? I'd like to move it back if possible.
