Hello guys,

I need your help. Three days ago I have bought Bi fury 5GH, but I have some issues. My computer (win7) cant recognize it in USB 3.0, it can recognize as Unknown Device. I tried install many recommened drivers but nothing helped. My computer can easly recognize Bi fury in USB 2. Do you think that another FIRMWARE is needed?

Thank you for your help.

Don't think so, prices for all USB miners are presently all hovering in orbit and are highly uncompetitive. Wait for them to adjust but don't expect too much.

USB miners are easy to setup for newbies.

And cryptocoins are not mainstream yet so expect a lot of newbies coming on board everyday.

Quite right of course I forgot to include that part.
Thanks

The higher your total hashrate the faster you mine and get paid.
So if you stack 10 of these you have 50gh/s which will get you more back faster than just one.
The same goes for any type of miner.  More, bigger, faster the better.

Why do people buy multiple of the same product?  Does it become ineffective quickly? 
The reverse is also true. If you purchased badly and spent more on the device than you'll ever earn back effectively making a loss, then buying 10 of them means you make 10x the loss.

Anywhere I can get one of these in the US for not a huge amount of money?

Don't think so, prices for all USB miners are presently all hovering in orbit and are highly uncompetitive. Wait for them to adjust but don't expect too much. Like everything in stock on the market, right now every piece of ASIC hardware seems only meant to be profitable for the hardware seller, not the customer by a very far margin.
It almost feels like they don't want too many customers at this time for some reason (?).

Although I had the cash and the basic incentive, I wouldn't ever consider buying at these prices.
I mean it's their business and I'm not to complain - but if they keep them that high for a few more weeks, they'll be 'competing' with cex.io prices Tongue quite an achievement...

I racked up on Red Furies and Antminers at really good prices. Want one of these because of the hash per watt is pretty awesome. Ah well, will wait. I'd rather invest in Dualminers but those are also too $$.

Hey everybody.

I've read that this miner is optimized for USB 3.0 OR for use at an active USB 2.0 Hub.

So is that right? Or will i lose GH/s if i connect it to an USB 2.0 Hub with additional power supply ?!

It's a USB 2.0 miner, but with higher power requirements, so a 2.0 Hub + extra power is just what you need.

thanks for the info! Smiley

Can i use the new firmware and to the  4gh/s version of the usb?

Yes, 4gh/s version is the same device. There is only difference in final chip performance and hashrate(not all chips are the same).

Was about to order a batch of 5 for local resell but the site seems unable to process the Bitcoin payment. Too bad. Sad

I experienced same thing yesterday and I emailed him without reply yet

I answer you yesterday Smiley


There is some problems with blockchain.info API (I checked plugin sources and bc.info spec and its seem to be right, but problem witch API still remains  Undecided ).
I don't know that bc.info change some thing or wtf, its just happened from day to day after couple months of non problem working (if some one have some information about this issue PM me please).


Because of that I switch some plugin settings and now Bitcoin payment gateway is UP again with before properties = Bitstamp rate -discount % Smiley

Please be aware that some time your payed order status will not change even after 6+ confirmation, that can be normal because of this bc.info API problems.
Every day before shipping we will check all Bitcoin orders status to confirm payment and send them ASAP.

Thanks for understanding!

I bought a Bifury and it works well for 2 Days and than it stops working until i replug the stick out/in. I see that the green LED does not work, is this a Problem?

I tried to flash the new firmware but the Folder of the Miner is empty (0 kB from 0 kB).

With the new firmware green led will be off since you will start the mining software, Bi•Fury will start when software start give him work.
Red led will blink when Bi•Fury accept share. Its normal.

When your mining software crash (or you will turn it off) Bi•Fury will turn off (with led's of course Wink )



About flashing firmware, if you do all like in support instruction and you still have some problem please read FalconFly comment on this:

I think there's a small but important point missing in the description of the Firmware flash process :

- you need to keep those contacts closed all the way until the System recognizes it as Storage Device, installs/initializes USB Storage driver and opens appropiate Window on the Desktop/Device Icon appears - basically until the found storage device is clearly ready to use. This will take at least several seconds.

Letting go too early or temporarily losing the short circuit (can be a bit tricky to keep it closed all the time) just for an instant won't make the LED light up again (making it look like everything works as planned) but interrupts the whole process and will cause various errors in terms of device handling.

I believe it will help you.
We don't have any problems with flashing firmware in way straight from instruction, but like you can read above every body can have some tips form their own experience (thanks FalconFly for sharing this with us!) .
