The good news:
 - my Falcons arrived
 - upon plugging in the falcon to the zenminer that I had registered a few days ago, it detected and starting hashing (clevermining)
 - the pool-side hashrate is the advertised 27 MH/s

The bad news:
 - one Falcon is louder than three Gridseed Blades

The really bad news:
 - 1137 W (9.87 A) at the wall
 - the PSU is working hard and getting pretty hot
 - the PCI-E wires are very warm and the insulation is starting to get soft after about 10 mins

As much as I hate to do it, I've taken it down already. I can live with the noise, but if the power consumption doesn't decrease *significantly* with the promised firmware update, it's going to be a big issue.

What size PSU are you using?

how are you guys mining with your fury. I have two and registered them at zenminers and they are not working or showing any hash rate?

just download the cgminer from gawminers. The link is somewhere back in this thread.

[blueminerneedsfoodbadly]

Largest one I had was a 1000W. But I don't trust it to hold out very long. (And I've blown up a couple doing GPU mining, so I'm hesitant to push it too far.)

Has anyone compiled cgminer & used it on Linux? It seems like everyone is either using the Zencontroller or Windows. I have it compiled but don't have my miner in hand yet to try it. What would be the proper command line for running it in Linux vs Pi/Windows?

How do we get zencontroller do do anything?  I can mine with just using cgminer but how do we initiate mining from the zenminer site?

[Cassey]

what pools are people having success with? WeMineLTC seems to keep kicking me off every 10-12hrs. If you can post if your pool is working good or having problems and ill keep a list updated of everyone's recommendations here.

Zero problems over at http://www.multicoinpool.org

Worked with both Zenminer and now with cgminer 3.1.1

Plug in miner to zencontroller. Plug in zencontroller. Give 5 min to come up go to zenminer.com register you will need the code off the side of you zencontroller. enter mining pool information. go to miner tab pick the miner you are using. Give about an hour for it to build up check hash rate your good to go.

Been there done that use the zen controller for now your better off. Your probably still going to have problems till they boost the firmware. Just a heads up.

If your building on Linux, suggest you add --with-curses to your configure line.

how does zenminer know which pool to mine if you list more than one?

Yep... running it now, testing out a clock of 350:

---

#!/bin/bash

# set the worker name and password for your mining pool
WORKER="Cassey.`hostname`"
PASS="pass"
OPTS="-S /dev/ttyUSB0 --nocheck-golden --chips-count 6 --ltc-clk 350 --api-listen --api-port=40113 --api-allow=10.184.155.0/24"

# enter pool URLS in format URL:port
URL0="-o stratum+tcp://mine.multicoinpool.org:3310"

# formart worker strings
S0="$URL0 -O $WORKER":"$PASS"

# concatenate command to run
CMD="/cgminer*/cgminer"
RUN="$CMD $OPTS $S0"

# echo instead of running, if for testing purposes

echo "$RUN"
$RUN

----

API stuff is so that CGRemote can monitor for me.

Bad news for now you can only do one pool at a time

Cassie whats the --with-curses do for the miner. Thanks

BTW - 350 was a bust using cgminer... it went "sick" after about 15 minutes.

328 seems stable and generates 1.3MH on my Fury.

Waiting for cables to see if the 350 problem is the provided power supply or not.

I reduced down to 290, still getting HW but at least my psu and wires aren't hot anymore.

More hash more power and the 12v 5a is not the answer I dont think.

what is the login for the pi that has the zen controller on it?

This is how I launch my single Fury : sudo ./mining/cgminer-3.1.1_tag3/cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3333 -u [BTC ADDRESS) -p x --nocheck-golden --chips-count 6 --ltc-clk 328 -S /dev/ttyUSB0

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 and this works fine. My ZenController still doesn't work but they said I should be fixed and running by tonight. Looking forward to hearing from them.
