That doesn't help at all. Screenshots please, or a detailed response. How does it "see" the miner? What mining software are you using?

Well he is new to the scene and to this forum, obviously he is having trouble getting everything to work properly. A screenshot would really help in this scenario as byt411 said. Give us more information in order tk fix this for you.

error messages from your mining program might be helpful for starters.

That doesn't help in any way, shape or form. What mining software are you even using? I hope you're not dumb enough to plug it in and wait for it to mine.

Most likely is that seller scammed you, so try to return your miner back to him and request refund, sorry to say, but you got goxxed.

No he didn't, it's just that he can't set it up properly. Eyeboot is legit, I know that, and please stop making up stuff.

Please provide full details of:  How did you install the driver for the device?  Did you use Zadig and follow all the steps in the Eyeboot video?  What feedback did you get during/after the installation?  Can you see the device in Device Manager (assuming that you use Windows)?
Which mining software are you using?  As Eyeboot does not provide a link to their 'modified' cgminer on their web site, you could try the latest version of 'official' cgminer, which should support your twin-Fury device.
What operating system are you using?
Are you using a powered USB hub?  Which one?  Does it have a power adapter with sufficient current capacity for your miner?
When you run your mining software - get a screen shot of what does it show when it runs.  In particular it is important to see that your miner device is recognized by the the mining software and that your mining pool is 'alive'.
What do you see on your mining software that tells you that mining is not happening?
Is your mining software permitted to get through your firewall/router etc.?
Do you have other USB miners running as well?  Might want to stop them and focus on the twin-fury.

People can't help you if you don't provide sufficient information.

Cheers

Ok for a start you bought from this seller on ebay:

Seller:
m2009sh (125 ) | Seller's other items

He is not an official Eyeboot distributor on ebay. The only official eyeboot seller on ebay is: electronicproseller

http://www.ebay.com/usr/electronicproseller

So it looks like this seller was simply using the support provided by Eyeboot.

Also if cgminer is not loading at all, then edit your .bat file and add this line:

pause

It will stop the program closing automatically and you can see what error is causing it to not work.
