Hi Guys,

Review units have been delivered. Independent reviews will follow soon

Also I'm going to update the webstore at the weekend with some special offers so please check the thread for update.

I still can't take BTC payments through my webstore   so if you want to pay in BTC then please PM me with your order  and I will send you payment details. It will get automated as soon as I find a solution.

Cheers,

Hex•Fury - World's Fastest USB Bitcoin Miner Yet… - Everything USB
Hex-Fury Claims To Be “Fastest BitCoin Miner” - ubergizmo

Yes you can plug it in to any hub and it will work, or at least on most, so far i haven't found hub that doesn't work. The lower the current is the lower hashrate will be. I don't have any low power hubs below 2A so I can't tell you what hashrate will be. 0.5A is normally per port and if your hub can share current between ports without limit you shouldn't have problems with power on pretty much standard hubs. If you are going to use it on pc, usb 3 hub will work well, most of them are over 2A.

Hex works well on hubs  2A+, usb2 or usb3. ( on PI only usb2) . I cannot guarantee how it will work on hubs below that so its up to you guys to run it on setup that will meet the requirements. As I said should still work but not sure how well.

In fact, Hex hes been designed to be tinkered with so you should use adjustable external power for you hub, and this is when you will see its full potential.

 

Yes that question. Is it possible to operate at any hashrate if you plug it in a regular usb 2.0 or usb 3.0 directly on a computer motherboard? Not in a usb hub. I know usb 2.0 can provide 0.5A and usb 3.0 around 0.9A (?) so, will it hash, at what speed? 

I guess he might have meant "what happens if I plug it into a standard USB 3 port?  Will it hash at a lower rate with lower current, or will it not work at all?"

With possible follow-up question "what if I plug it into a USB charging port on my computer?" (the answer to that, depending on the above, being "check the maximum current it can deliver, it might be noted near the port itself or you should be able to find it in your computer's documentation/motherboard manufacturer's website)

Not sure what you mean by any hashrate. If your hub is powered and is min 3A, that is sufficient to run Hex full speed as in my post above.   

I suppose hexfury cannot work on a  pc usb at any hasrate, right? 

Except that you can't point your hashpower anywhere but ghash.io if you buy it off cex.io 

To everyone comparing USB miners to any other miner in terms of ROI, $/GH ratio, or whatever - stop. They will never yield more profit than if you had bought BTC with the money instead, and they will never offer the best $/GH ratio. Everyone knows this. You're not some kind of modern Aristotle for figuring it out as well. What USB miners offer is flexibility: unlike buying "cloud" hashing power you can mine whatever SHA-256 alt you like; unlike larger miners they don't cost multiple thousands of dollars and Watt-hours just to get started; and unlike straight up purchasing a given cryptocurrency you can buy them with a credit card or PayPal - none of this pfaffing around with exchanges.

If you consider yourself a "serious miner" and you've got hundreds or thousands of GH/s at your command, fantastic. I applaud your dedication and financial contribution to keeping the network secure. But don't you think that coming into merchant threads and moaning about how their products are too expensive for you is a bit beneath you? If you have the cash for a big miner, go spend 15k on 6TH/s from Spondoolies Tech and see how fast that ROIs (hint: it won't, not any more than any other miner will - including these).

Alright, rant over. Thanks for reading 

Hell yes, gotta get me one of these.

Two actually, I'll round up the BTC and put in my order tomorrow. 

Yes, we all know this, but you should post this on Economy board for those who don't know it... with subject: "USB MINERS ARE NOT FOR GETTING ROI"

HEX is priced like other this type hardware on market and its worth it, maybe not like invest but like device, maybe you will not be able to see any more power full USB miner, ever on market.

Quick update.

First units  have been sent out yesterday, and today. UK customers should get their orders tomorrow, US within next 1-3 days. EU up to 5 days, depending on shipping option.

I've included  USB injector cable for free so have fun and don't destroy your toy  . Once you will get your miner and hook it up to good hub with min 3A  you will get very nice surprise.  Your Hex will perform at around 12.5Gh out of the box. Been waiting with this surprise till last moment.  

Please see below how Mighty HEX•FURY is performing out of 5V, no OC, 3A hub. All units perform almost exactly the same so all of you will see higher performance. I hope this will put smiles on your faces.

For 265$
at current exchange value 265$ / 590$/btc = 0,449152542btc
0,449152542btc / 0.0108 btc/Gh/s (CEX.IO) = 41.6GH/s for the same price...

That's the problem with pounds... they are worth too much... you lose your wallet with the conversion into USD...

The price is too high in terms of investment, you are gonna get much more hashing power buy investing that amount of money in bitcoins and then buy gh/s in a cloud mining service... but you dont get to have the cool device...

Crazy for USBs.

May have made a mistake?  Since we can't see the exact values you plugged in, it's hard to say.

Edit: Well duh, it wants 1.0 if not messing with the profitability decline.  Silly thing.

Suffice to say, it probably wouldn't, but hey, maybe.

Edited-out part:

Difficulty: 5,006,860,589
BTC/block: 25.00
Conversion rate: 578.22
Hash rate: 11 (Gh/s)
Electricity rate: 0.15
Power consumption (Watt): 12.9 (11 * 0.86)
Time frame (months): 24
Cost of mining hardware (USD): 265
Profitability decline per year: 0*
As a result, I got: Hardware break even: >10000 days
* Since I can't see into the future to check what difficulty, exchange rate, and this recent tax decision are going to do, I've assumed that that it would generate a steady income.  It's rather more likely that it would decline, which means that break even would take even longer.
Edit: I'm incline to think the bitcoinx.com calculator is whack.

At this price ($265 per unit 11 GH/s) the following bitcoin profit calculator showing that, the hardware cost will break even after 2 years+?

Can someone please confirm this?
Not sure what I am missing here.

That's very nice!!! Thank you

For a single device you need any hub that will deliver 2-2.5A. Not that hard to find and not very expensive. Also you can use 20A hub that will run 19 yellowjacket or nano fury or 8 hex without any problem or fire hazard. If you just want to run  1 device  I suggest something like this: http://imgur.com/LGTJrty. I am testing them at the moment and will have them added to the store at some point today if all is good. I'm also looking into 5A power supplies to go with usb injector so it can fully power 2  HEX•FURY and be used on any hub.

At which point did commodity powered USB hubs that are already geared for up to 3A due to powerr-hungry tablets become 'hard-to-find/expensive'?  As soon as you get into the expensive region (still not hard to find, these 10A+ beasts can be readily found for sale around here, amazon, ebay, etc.), you're probably talking about using more than 1.  Your statement, it makes no sense.

And yes, Stick Miners make no sense.  we know  And yes, I'd absolutely opt for this instead of the big boards   (Unless it's one that gives a positive financial ROI, but then my purchasing reasons change drastically to begin with)

A very modest contribution

Good luck guys!
