That's all well and good but for two things.  1. I don't have a Windows machine.  2. I don't have a Pi.

So, anyway.  Am I stuck with pointlessly 100% HW errors and no actual mining?   Roll Eyes

Mine arrived this morning, just got them plugged in.  No clue how to get them working, though.  BFGMiner 3.5.1 on OpenWRT.

Anyone any hints?  Assume OpenWRT to be like Linux.

Follow this. It was a painful experience taken 12 hours to get these fuckers working very pissed off at how much work had to be done in oder to get them working.

OC I know everyone wants a tracking number but any chance we could get them asap. Been waiting in all morning for my 2 packages and would like to know if I am getting them today.  as I understand it the postage payment included insured special delivery which guarantees next day special delivery so my thursday package should definitely be here today and I would hope my friday 1 is here today too. if we have not had special delivery paid 4 can we get a refund on postage cost considering the massive price rise in btc since we paid for them,  to get delivery on a saturday usually cost a few pounds extra can you confirm that was paid on our orders

You, and everyone had them sent special delivery, the problem is special delivery isn't guaranteed for a Saturday delivery, some of you will get them some wont, those who unfortunetly don't get them today will get them by 1PM Monday.

Also as I keep mentioning, only part of the shipment I sent Thursday made it onto the lorry, the rest spent the night in the post office because it took too long to process, unfortunetly I couldn't say whos got sent thursday and whos went out the next day.

I've got about 10 more receipts to match against my records before I'll be able to mass mail everyones tracking number, there was just too many tracking numbers yesterday, but I'll manually send a few now to those who are desperate.


*EDIT* @qukkM, Sent your tracking numbers to you, both say "We have tried to deliver your item from our P******* Delivery Office before 10:17 on 09/11/13 and we have left a while you were out card." but you've been moaning at me about non delivery since mid day, so I'm not sure what to suggest other than to check your letter box.

Got my "You were out" card this morning...

Got mine today  Smiley

Now to figure out why I am only getting 1.2Ghs (no HW errors)

Have you flashed the latest firmware? I had to flash them to get mine to work.

Just tried, no difference. I will see if going direct instead of via a hub makes a difference.

Just thinking about the people who are having problems with only getting 1.2Gh / 1.4Gh out of their devices and I had a thought ...

Some people don't seem to be sure if it's their rig in terms of OS,  miner software and/or version, USB hub compatibility or power supply issues.

It just occurred to me that maybe people could use the power of the bitcoin community to help pin down their problem if there is someone who has a known good working rig nearby to someone with what looks like a dodgy BF1 device.  Perhaps people could hook up, pop round and have their devices tested?

Mine are running at a steady 2.3Gh with a 7 port D-link hub on a Raspberry Pi using MinePeon, so if anyone in Bedfordshire needs what looks like a dodgy BF1 testing we might be able to arrange something.

+1

Same setup,  same results,  21Gh from 9 sticks = av 2.33Gh  South Cumbria

Has anyone tried replacing the heatsinks on these yet?

I have a slightly lower profile (by about 2mm, but with a greater surface area) heat sink which I used with overclocked block erupters that I'm fairly convinced will allow them to sit in the Anker/Tecknet hub ports without the inductors (L2) touching the neighbouring heatsink, that way I can get 10 units in the hub instead of 5!

Just curious if anyone tried this and whether they had any problems (didn't mind experimenting with the BEs so much but these are 6-7 times the value).

Looks like the existing heat sink is held on with some 3M thermal tape that I'm probably going to end up using a precision blade to remove...

or exchange them for RedFury, they fit the hubs.

if you post something special delivery on a friday they will offer the service at an extra cost to guarantee delivery on saturday,  it is usually 2 maybe 3 pounds more for saturday guaranteed delivery considering that since we paid for postage the beacon price has more than doubled I think it would have been reasonable for you to pay the little bit extra to guarantee these unit arrived today.

personally I paid 0.36 btcfor shipping my units that works out as about 80 quid at today's pricewhich should have more than covered sending my unit special delivery insured guaranteeing delivery for today

Just received my 3 this morning. Thanks OC. The only problem is why do they have half heat sinks and one has a full I don't understand?


I got 2 small heatsinks, I've seen photos of a mixture short/long. It looks like there is just a random mix, I guess they couldn't get enough of either size.
