BFGminer 3.5.1 gives hardware errors, switch to the modded BFG 3.2 build and you won't have any hardware errors

Download link in quoted message

1 ) Download Alpha Drivers Here : http://www.mediafire.com/download/819me4zvdju8lyg/bfgminerWin.zip

2 ) Extract and note where the bf1.ini is located in the folder.

3 ) Plug in your Blue Fury Miner and go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and printers

4 ) Right Click on the Bitfury BF1 Device go to Properties > Hardware > Properties > Change Settings > Driver > Update Driver

5 ) Select "Browse My computer for Driver Software"

6 ) Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"

7 ) Select "Have Disk", Browse to the bfgminerWin folder and Select bf1.ini

8 ) Select Install and it will give you a warning that the driver is NOT SIGNED. Press okay.

9 ) Now that the Driver is installed navigate to bfgminerWin > bfgminer32

10 ) Edit the #Mine.bat file in Notepad and change everything after "-O" to your own mining pool information and save.

11 ) Double click #Mine.bat and start mining Smiley

Here are my stats using 3.2. No HW errors even on the overclocked Blues

Every device has some hardware errors, especially overclocked ones, I don't believe BFGMiner3.2.0

The most important figure is the hash rate reported at the pool.

Just wondering if anyone is having the same HW error rate as I am when using bluefury with bfgminer 3.5.1?

Over 5 hours hashing now and I have noticed an increase in HW errors. In comparison with ASICMiner, I have 0.9% of HW errors and with bluefury I am getting between 3.7% and 5.3%. Quite high in comparison with the ASICMiner BE USB and blade!

PXY 0 is my overclocked ASICMiner blade and BES are the ASICMiner USB BE's.

> 6% HW errors and struggling to get a steady 2.2GH/s out of mine on CGMiner 3.8.1

Not exactly been a great buying experience with these BlueFury, I have to say.

My Bluefury's are hashing at around 2.32GH/s to 2.39GH/s but actual hashing rate is lower than advertised due to HW errors. Running over 12 hours now and I can see that two USB devices have the same amount of HW errors as the ASICMiner blade.

I'll give the pencil mod a go on one of my USB devices and report back what I see.

Are you kidding me? Smiley it really works ? It is beacuse you lower the resistance?

confirmed working. mining away with 2.9 Ghps. Lowered R15 from 0.97 MOhm to 0.85 MOhm. Fan cooling advised.
Nice .. need to try it. What about USB Erupters - 333 MHz .. is there any option (instead of changing clock chip)

I couldn't get more than 1.2 to 1.4 under Linux with latest versions of cgminer and bfgminer. Bfgminer for windows from the support thread works and I am getting 2.3Ghs Smiley I have got a pi on order so will try again when that arrives.

I spoke too soon, pool average settles at 1.3Ghs on Windows as well Sad

My Pi is giving an average of 2.33 on MinePeon, with an average of 2.24 at the pool. No special mods, no special drivers, just:-    -S BPM:all

Reject rate is 0.81%    Error rate is 59.23%

simple maths says this is not a true error rate.

2.33Gh less 0.81% = 2.311Gh    pool shows 2.24Gh so corrected error rate is 3.07%  The extra 56.16% is probably down to running a 5Gh chip at less than 2.5Gh.

I have a mixture of BES and Blu's running

I could only get them all working with one instance of Bfgminer (BLU's) and one instance of Cgminer (BES's)
I'm getting 59% HW errors on the Blu's?

Ubuntu 32bit 12.04 (On crappy old laptop, it won't run win7 or anything 64bit)
Cgminer 3.3.1 - Running all BES's fine (And has been for ages now)
Bfgminer 3.30 - Running 4 x Blu's 59% HW errors but hashing OK 2.27 - 2.48 GHs

Annoyingly being a Windows and Mac user i can only install onto Ubuntu via a PPA (typical GUI user, I know...)
Hence the 2 legacy versions of Cgminer and Bfgminer

Do I have to FLASH the BLU's, i've read theres a firmware update?
Is there a PPA that has later versions of Cgminer and or Bfgminer

Does anyone have a "TARD" guide to install cgminer / bfgminer from source code (This looks a strong learning curve....)so i can install the later versions
(Or should i just leave alone as they are hashing?)

Is 59% HW errors the norm?

I have 3 BLU's with RED leds and one with a yellow / orange led?

Pretty much, yeah.  Try the pencil mod trick, brought my errors down a little and speed up a little as well.

Pencil mod you ask?  Get a pencil and scribble over the R15 resistor (next the PRG button, marked 223 I think).  That brings it's resistance down and power up to the chip a little.
