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

Cheers,

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%)

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.

300 units will be shipped out Friday and the following 1500 shipped Tuesday next week.

Just a little photo of units on the production line.

We will announce the compensation after we have completed shipping all the units.

Ok.. so it's now 3rd week of October.. given the 2nd week of October deadline + 1 week delay.. We'd expect you to have units on the way to your door right now.. And if not that, an actual ETA date.

There was a delay in China due to a holiday. Anything from China went into chaos.

All I know regarding expected delivery is what has been posted in the main Blue Fury thread(s)
i.e https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3289769

Quote

Main run will be a little bit delayed because of China holidays causing pcb problems.

So it looks like 'a week' of delay Sad

Fingers crossed as always with mining gear it seems.

I am only handling a total of 80 units for this buy - so depending on what time of day they arrive, I expect to on-ship them the same day or next day.

Shipping & handling (Australia) for up to about 5 units will be 0.1BTC (I expect 5 units to come in under 500g)

Shipping & handling for 10 units is 0.161BTC.

I will be reselling BPMC's Blue Fury USB miners and expect to have a fairly small number of them on hand in the second week of October.

Code:

Product Description:

Rated speed 2.6Gh/s. +/- 10%
Powered by the USB port without any other power source.
Electricity consumption as low as 2.5 watts and 500mA

Prices:
0.88 BTC each
10+ 0.86BTC each

plus shipping & handling costs - express post signature required. Include your postcode & desired quantity for a quote.

Contact me here by PM - or email [email protected] for a payment address.

I will be taking preorders and allocating from the first batch based on who pays first.
If I receive payments after I've allocated all units - I'll give the option to have the BTC returned or stay in the queue for the next batch.
(I'll also try to update here quickly when the batch runs out)

Cheers,
Julian
