It should work without any issues on OSx. Try bit minter. If that doesn't work contact the red fury support team and get them to help. You might have a dodgy device.
I don't think macminer or astroid are compatible. If the red Fury team want to sent some devices to the macminer and astroid developers to help them with compatibility and testing that would be great.

hi guys, hope everyone has an awesome night tonight....
im in desperate need of some help!
i have just bought a red fury for my mac... and i can t get the mac to recognise the device. seems a lot of people have just plugged it in and it worked, no such luck for me...
i have tried everything i can find on google... to use on either cgminer or bfminer
eg. ftdi drivers, loading or unloading kexts, using different programmes, asteroid, macminer, etc etc. tried everything from blogs from NWOOLS - awesomely helpful but did not help.
now i am worried that i have run so much different software it will conflict with each other... and im no expert to fix!!
seems i can find no more info... to get this thing to work.... i can run bfminer just fine, just does not detect the device.
when i fired up asteroid, it asked to disable drivers - apple usb ftdi, and the one i downloaded from ftdi vcom or something. i clicked yes but still nothing detected. im really stuck...
i can think of nothing else... anything you can suggest.
for info the mac is running 10.9.1, if any further info is required please ask, and i will reply asap..
thanks in advance

I tried changing bigpic:all to BF1:all and that still didn't work it still didn't detect it.
I installed the drivers again and it is not showing up in my bfgminer please help it is not mining i need help.
I have my cgminer point to the pool & worker name via the command line.
(for me this was more convinient and setup multiple pools, rather than type the data by hand at cgminer start)

Hi,
What is the command line to run the BLueFury with cgminer?
Thanks!
After you've set up your relevant driver for your operating system (see ASIC-README included with cgminer) then they should just run without any extra command line parameters with cgminer. What is the command line to run the BLueFury with cgminer?
Thanks!

I understand that nonofury is driverless, but why is nonofury being recognized instead of proper driver/software? Yes I only was trying to install one device. I now see on an alternate thread that win8 wont allow non signed driver updates and I need to modify win8 to allow drivers.... but I think it still wont allow me to update since Win recognizes this fury device as driverless. I tried to delete the driver, but I cant since there is no driver. Then i tried to uninstall the nanofury, but as soon as i plug in the usb blue fury, win8 reinstalls the device as a nanofury....AArgghhhhh
Well... I'll give this 24 more hours and then I am returning the devices for a product that is more robust and better supported. Thanks for your help, but still trying to install!

delete the usb port (see this thread) https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3503739
then try the re install again.
I gave up trying with win8x64 (the drivers would not install even with admin privelege and signing settings ) but I have a win7x86 and everything works perfectly.
other forum followers have reported success with win8 maybe they will respond soon.
I have just upgraded from win8x64 to win8.1x64 then re-installed BFGminerx64 and my devices are working.
Edit:- 1 device reporting 100% error on all my other pc's & Pi's & many different hubs, is now working perfectly on the win8.1x64
Maybe you should change you fancy WIN8 OS which has problems in may ways to WIN7 and you will not have this problem.
This is just an suggestion based on you message which have bottom line that fury is problem maker and your OS the king.
Sorry, this is fact of life.
May be you should stop giving crap advice.
These miners work perfectly on Windows 8.1 x64 for me. Far better than on Windows 7, especially when using USB3.
The logical try is to do on OS where it works. Isn't it ?

I know you all are probably tired of seeing these posts, but I am having trouble installing blue fury usb asics with win8. I tried to just install on my previously working hub and they are not recognized. Then I downloaded the BFG drivers and my PC sees the device as a nanofury(?) and when I try to update software, i get error that no driver update software is required (wont let me install)? I have been working on this for over 2 hours and I am getting tired of hardware and software that is buggy or poorly supported. Anyone that can help with this... your support would be be greatly appreciated....
NanoFury is a driverless device in BFGminer
have you tried adding your bluefury sticks one at a time?

I would say overclock them as much as you possibly can and mine their arses off as much as possible at lower diffs even if it means you burn them out earlier. They're still going to last months if not years if you overclock them provided you can keep them cool, whereas they'll be pointless to mine with in a year.
That is a valid point. It is just critical you keep the units cool.

You will need to slot out the holes in the cooler( fan is 55mm hole centers, bluefury is 52mm)

Hi,
I had 3 red furies pencil modded to 3 Ghash each
I'm cooling them with an artic breeze usb fan and it seems all right as compared to touching the heat sink when without cooling.
However the ASIC chip is too hot to touch.
Not sure whether this is burn or shortened the life span of the miners.
Please advise, thanks.
With Beastlymac's comments in mind, and notwithstanding his advice - if you're concerned about the heat and want to keep them efficiently cooled, I'd recommend replacing the heatsink fans altogether some any spare CPU HSF's that you can scavenge. You might some in old PC cases or tucked in drawers, or someone you know might, and they're very well engineered to delivery VERY quiet and VERY efficient cooling. I posted about the first one I converted earlier this year: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3635707 I had 3 red furies pencil modded to 3 Ghash each

I will like very much to hear the official position of beastlymac about this, how safe it is, lifespan of a modded BF,etc.
i have one of the "green" furies with the full length silver heatsink. pencil modded to 2.8Ghash total, 2.55-2.60 realized(after ~6-7% error). with gasp no fan but in a cold windowsill so :/ anyway been running like that for over 6 weeks like that and still kicking.
but beast is right it most probably will shorten their lifespan.
