I'm not currently involved in any more buys - but I'll review at the end of the week.

Cheers,
Julian

Rumor has it that you have pulled the plug Julz. Can you confirm that you are no longer the Australian distributor and if so could you let us know if there are plans for a replacement or perhaps contact Friedcat and have him notify the other distributors (and update the ASICMiner thread) so that they can sell into Australia without fear of stepping on anyone's toes?

Hi all,
For those still awaiting payment - please check your emails and PMs where I've asked for payment addresses.

Some Nanofury NF1 thumbs would be nice. They are open source design using Bitfury chips, so expect several people to have batches made.

i wouldn't mind buying a few more if the option comes up.
obviously at a lower BTC rate due to the price rise
or i can pay in fiat if that suits too.

Check the posts in the support thread for BF (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=319419.440), there is a simple 'pencil mod' that can increase the hash rate. I'm now running at abut 2.51 GH/sec (accepted shares by the pool) and others got higher.

Compensation from Beastly can go into the address in my sig (same as the one in our emails from other orders)

The original compensation is for the delay in shipping. There should be some other compo due to performance being lower than specified (most people had 2.1-2.3 GH/Sec, compared to the specified 2.6+/-10%)
see https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/blue-fury-miners-v2-26ghs-299295

Arrived, working FINALLY after a lot of screwing about. Not julz' fault.

A+ on the shipping.

EDIT: apparently beastly is sorting out the compensation stuff with you shortly.

Julz, thanks for the direct delivery.
I managed to get it going, but the results are strange. Not sure if it is a faulty device or something else. Running the latest BFGMiner (3.4.0). The rest of the installation is per Beastlymac in https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/blue-fury-miners-v2-26ghs-299295. To avoid interactions with other things it is running entirely alone, on a separate Win7 64 PC as a single device on a powered hub. I am getting a very high H error rate (about 61% after about 40 minutes) and the hash rate is about 2.26GH/sec (on Slush's pool). I tried resetting the device, the miner software etc, but there is no improvement. I wonder if it is a faulty device or a configuration problem.

Cheers

I think it is something to do with the latest version of bfgminer. I would try either our version or the latest cgminer version. Alternatively if you can install a Ubuntu vm or just install Ubuntu and dual boot I would recommend that.

Thanks Beastlymac, I'll try these suggestions. As I already found, with the original modified bfgminer 3.2.0 that you recommend in your guide, the H error issue is gone, but the hash rate remains lower than expected at about 2.26 GH/sec.
(Life would be boring without some little puzzles like this one...

More exploration: Using the older bfgminer 3.2.0 with the original batch file seems to solve the high H rate. The hash rate remains however close to 2.26 GH/sec.

These have landed in Sydney, and I've paid the duties. Hopefully I'll have them tomorrow.
