[SUPPORT THREAD] BFx2 Bitfury USB stick miner

[klintay]

bitfury detect (38:2) failed to initialise incorrect device?
using macbook any help???

that usually happens if:
1. driver is not installed
2. not enough power per port

What hub are you using?

@goodney

Do you have new Stickminers in planning?

None of the current chips seem to be worth producing a StickMiner. They all use too much power for a useful hash rate. The closest I got was this BE200 based prototype @8GH/s. But it got way too hot, even with a huge heat sink.

If anyone knows of a chip coming soon that might be good for a stick miner, let me know!

These bad boys are good:

They are using the 2 x BM1384 chip for a solid 15+GH

Get me samples and I'll knock out a StickMiner. Assuming the protocol is similar to the BE200 it wouldn't even take that long ;-)

hi goodney mind telling us how many of the bfx2 stick miner you made ? hundreds ? thousands ?
not mean to mind in your business simply curious for the history of bitcoin mining.
