Where the hell are the Windows drivers for these

Here is the alpha windows version. It is not 100% ready but feel free to give it a shot.

These don't like Icarus probes, so you can't use -S all with them. Try -S bigpic:all

Ok, I've managed to get all 4 of them installed and I have ttyACM0, ttyACM1, ttyACM2, ttyACM3. I also have them connected to the VM. But I'm not sure what to enter here since I have 4 devices...

Code:

sudo bfgminer -o http://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u username_workername -p password -S bitfury:/dev/ttyACM0

And when I start BFGMiner with the code above, I don't get anything hashing except the CPU cores, which I obviously don't want. Be gentle, this is my first time running Ubuntu and I'm so lost!

Quote from: ssinc on September 24, 2013, 03:56:55 PM

Ubuntu Linux Setup Instructions :

1 ) Download Ubuntu x64 from : http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop

2 ) Install on a PC or on a Virtual Machine.

3 ) Once installed Find and Open Terminal by pressing CTRL + ALT + T

4 ) Type the following lines and press enter after each one :

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:theturtle1983/mining
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bfgminer

5 ) Plug in your Blue Fury Miner in your favorite USB hub/port

6 ) Find the Blue Fury device name in your /Dev Folder. Mine was named ttyACM0 (yours should be similar)

7 ) Type the following into Terminal :

Code:

sudo bfgminer -o [pool name] -u [username] -p [password] -S bitfury:/dev/ttyACM0

*obviously change everything in brackets to your personal pool settings.

8 ) Hash Away! Grin

Thanks SSINC... was waiting for someone from the group to post that for weeks now.

I don't have any file with a name similar to ttyACM0. How do I find the proper dev file?

the reason that people love blocker eruptor so much is because they are easy to use plugin and you can basically hit the button and go this Linux solution is fine for people are in the know but not for the target audience of what this should be. Those windows drivers are imparative to this being successful

We plan to have them out before we ship or blue fury lot.

Im counting on this . I committed a large buy based on progress so far

Here are some setup instructions I put together for people new to linux :

https://github.com/aauer1/bfgminer

For the brave, gitHub source here provided via Turtle / Bick. Make sure you "git clone" the repo locally. I had trouble getting the downloaded .zip to compile.

Additionally, was missing a bunch of dependencies (my fault entirely for not properly RTFMing) that threw the system into a "wonky" state that didn't recognize the sticks until I unplugged and replugged them back in. Please double-check your dependencies if things don't run the first time.

As to the difficulty-level of getting these guys running vs Block Erupter USB's, please understand this is still the first batch, and wider driver support will likely come online in short order.
