0a) What to Expect (top)
The BiFury is designed by c-scape and features 2 Bitfury generation chips. It ships in a USPS cardboard sleeve and is wrapped in copious amounts of static paper.
0b) What You Need (top)
You will need the following:
1) Powering (top)
BiFurys are USB based miners, and as such are powered directly from a USB hub. Hub choice is extremely important when running multiple miners. The USB2
specification is designed to provide up to 0.5A, and USB3 0.9A and so USB3 is strongly recommended.
2) Cooling (top)
External cooling is not strictly required at stock speeds, but is strongly recommended. This can be done with the use of a 120mm or USB powered fan.
3) Configuration (top)
Configuration is straight forward. Both BFG and CGMiner are currently supported and a Windows based PC is therefore recommended.
BFGMiner:
Antpool Register!
4) Troubleshooting (top)
TBD as problems arise.
