I have just bought 2 of these miners off someone and one works fine all four lights light up but with the other one when I plug it in the green and two orange light up only and then when I launch my miner the green goes off and the red comes on and it won't give me any hash at all?? Anyone know what that might be from or how to fix it?

these units need good usb hubs.  how are you powering these?
I can answer that question.  You best need a industrial hub, i made a video last year unpacking mine. (got them from eyeboot.com)

Thanks mate I was originally just testing them to make sure that they worked since they were used but I figured that it was the power consumption that was happening making it not work properly and after a little google searching I came to the same conclusion that you did and already ordered myself a good industrial hub last night Smiley Thanks so much for helping me out though Smiley Cheers

The Dipo 19 or 10 port hub would be a good choice. They come with their own power supplies (110-240V) and all the cables you need so are ready to use out of the box. 10 port hub comes with wall mounts too.

Hi,
i just bought a used Twinfury.
I installed the Driver on my Win7-PC and startet mining using BFGminer.

Sometimes a get a couple of "query timeout" Errors.
Is that normal?

If the miner is working the temp reaches around 70°C
What is the max temp?
What if it`s getting hotter then the max temp?
Will it should down by itself?

Do i have to set some Settings at the device-manager like baud, databit, Stoppbit, ....  Huh

Are there any BFGminer sepcific commands i have to use?
Or is there any Manual out there?

Regards
habich

Hello

I'm Vincent from China. I have electronic product factory and interesting to expand business to bitcoin usb miner product. After following your project about bitfury , I want to make this product for you and sell it together. I can help you make in batch on my cost. 0% investment from your side.

How advantage you got after let us join ?

- You can make your project on zero investment from now and zero invest for batch producing of the product you want to make.

- you will got money from each pcs of USB miner we sold out.

- you can sell in other channel by yourself but that buyer can not buy from you and sell back on the same channel as us.

How about this offer ? Please let me know your idea.

regards

Vincent

If you want to use the voltage scaling feature (which requires to assemble a resistor), you should update the Twinfury.

Can you please provide a link to download the updated firmware ? My old eyes can't spot the link for the mentioned archive Twinfury-Firmware.tgz anywhere...

Here it is: http://minecoin.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Twinfury-Firmware.zip

I guess I missed it to post it into the post. Sorry for that.

Maybe, some of you have already noticed that we lowered the price again for the Twinfury.

Hello,

I published a new post on the minecoin.net website about the firmware update for supporting the supply voltage scaling of the Bitfury chips. If you are interested, have a look: http://minecoin.net/firmware-update-for-voltage-scaling/

If you want something that works and is delivered sooner than later. You are much better off with Twin BitFury vs BFL any day of the week. How much will that BFL make you in 2 to weeks or more vs something in your hand in a few days? RMA wise I bet you dollars to donuts that Andreas will be responsive unlike BFL who rarely gets back to people promptly? Support? Andreas designed these units and he will be there to support them. BFL? Not as much. The quality of these USB miners are not going to give you issues but the BFL products unfortunately have had a significant number of failures and under performance well documented here in these forums. The PSU's that BFL supply are potentially a fire hazard given the post on one flaming out and almost electrocuting one customer be very careful. Price is not the only factor and BFL is not the company you are looking for.

You get what you pay for SwissMiner and when you buy with BFL you are taking a much bigger risk than with Andreas.

TwinFury USB failures?  0.


Be safe. Think long and hard about your purchase.

I almost forgot to say that we are slowly running out of stock. We have only about 50 units left!

And we enabled the discount if you order more units
  • 5% discount if you order 5-9 pieces
  • 10% discount if you order 10+ pieces
