2 questions.
1) how much power does one use if I clock it at freq 40?
2) how much will it hash at freq 40?
3) will it use bfg 3.99 like the 2 chip ones you sold me?
you can send me a pm if you do not want to answer here.
I think I will order 1 from you just so that I have 1.

JULY SPECIAL - 3x NF6 for $255
June 26, 2014, 07:04:22 PM
As others have eluded to - this miner is for:
-brand new folks testing the water,
-enthusiasts who have collected many if not all USB miners ever made,
-wanna be EE's (and real ones) who like to tinker,
-bitcoin fans who want to mine at work in their cubicle,
-berated husbands whose wife will leave them if they bring another f%&k*! HOT and LOUD machine in the house.
-insert your reason here.
This is not a device you will profit from. At least not in btc. While it would be great if demand for these was such that we could make 10,000 units at a time and everyone would profit....that's not going happen. Our run was for less than 120 and these are the last 30 or so.
But damn. They are so much fun.

USB miners hashing power have improved recently with the coming of smaller microchips.
Slightly better than worthless is still worthless.
After the next difficulty adjustment in a few days, these will generate $.25 per day at best. That's a minimum of 400 days for RoI if difficulty never goes up. They're worthless.
You are right.Just saying that they also improved the architecture along with other mining giants.

At this price it's just a toy for fans...
Just like most miners out there - except considerably smaller and less noisy 
The units are highly overpriced
From what point of view?In-its-class products: The only other StickMiner in its class, the hex•fury, is 1.6x the price.
USD/Ghash-wise, it's only mildy higher than the Antminer U2, but you'd need 7-8 of those to match the hash rate.
Sum-of-its-parts: sure, but that's the price of buying a finished product. vs3 plans to offer some DIY kits which, if you can source the Bitfury chips (and probably the heat sinks), should be substantially cheaper. But you'll have to put it together yourself.
Market price: on e-bay they're going for $50+ in an auction - but you do have to compete against other bidders
The buy-it-now is slightly higher than the price listed here at this time. Still, if that's more the price you had in mind, try your luck there.ROI: Like I said, it won't give net positive financial ROI - just like pretty much every miner out there. Just for kicks, a naive calculation on when it would ROI gives a product price of ~$20 (though with the difficulty once again rising quickly, expect that to need to be lower still). That's just not going to happen for a low-volume product.

by the way - 11GH is about the lowest I've ever seen (even when using the worst hubs I can find around) and with a slightly better hub (and a bit of air flow) you can easily get to 15-16GH :

the two underperforming ones are on a not-so-good hub and the two that do 15GH+ are using a sub-$20 Amazon Basics 7-port hub with 4A power supply. I don't have any more NF6 left around - that hub could easily take at least one or two more NanoFury NF6.
And as for convenience - I think this is among the easiest (if not The Easiest) device to enter the hashing world - it is literally just plug-and-play ... it doesn't get any more easier than that ... Or if someone has any ideas - please share!

Don't use logic damn you!
Logic dictates neither are going to see net positive financial ROI - in which case, I'd rather have something I can plug into a hub and have it not take up all that much space.(Though I have defended the R-Box as well.
Of course, I am biased
This may well be 'The Last StickMiner', as most of the new chips appear to be ill-suited to this form-factor. 
June 25, 2014, 04:34:23 PM
Dam, 100 bucks for 15 GH/s! Like the tech specs and power usage and all, but man who'd actually pay $100 for 15 GH/s.
R-boxes are $60 for 32 GH/s. Even with the R-box's greater power consumption, hard to overcome the entry price of this Nano Fury compared to it.

Nice. I'll give you 20 bucks for it.

Six Chip Bitfury USB ASIC Miner
JULY SPECIAL - 3x NF6 for $255
11 Gh/s Nano Fury II USB Bitcoin Miner v0.3
by Moonlight Miner, Design by vs3
Six Chip Bitfury Rev. 2 USB ASIC Miner
Specs and Info:
- LOWEST PRICED 11 Gh/s USB MINER AVAILABLE
- NOT a Pre-Order -- In stock for immediate shipment
- Each miner contains SIX Bitfury (Rev.2) ASIC Chips
- Super Easy Install - No additional drivers needed for most computers
- Requires current version of BfgMiner
- Overclockable - speed of 11-14.5 Gh/s at 53-55 bits - stability can reduce
with increased speed. 11-12 Gh/s requires 1.2A(amp). +/-10% speed variance due to chip quality. - 15 Gh/s speed needs 1.5A per device. It is unlikely you will be able to utilize each port in a powered USB hub. In
tests a 10 port "Juiced Systems" USB 3.0 powered hub ran 4 miners and a USB fan comfortably. - Miners may exceed 14-15 Gh/s but have NOT been tested above BfgMiner oscillator settings
of 55 bits. Running at higher speeds may damage the miner and will void the 30 day warranty. - Light to medium air circulation required for speeds overclocking. USB fans work very well.
Info on MAC OS support thanks to Nate Woolls.

Who's the Brains behind this?
Nano Fury is an open source design developed by Bitcointalk.org forum member "vs3." We encourage BTC
donations for the developer at 1AHvViTD5wohPywNYHi8NZ8uPhbY9dZXCY.

How do I buy these?

We have not tested many hubs conclusively at this point but believe amp capacity to be the only limiting factor. You can
use USB 2.0 or 3.0 hubs. 3.0's typically have greater capacity. Please refer to this comprehensive list of hubs that been
tested: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/which-usb-hub-to-use-with-block-erupters-nanofury-nf1-bpmc-red-fury-ant-u1-253749
