New version https://www.dropbox.com/s/d91e7e64r5zfujt/v0.7_fix_resetchip_chipdetect.tar.bz2

is a speedup in 1Ghash / s to 5 devices hashbuster nano

tailsprintf(buf, "format ...") should be changed to tailsprintf(buf, BUFSIZE, "format ...")


+1Gh/s per single chip ?? way!

Detection time  (BITFURY_DETECT_TRIES) was reduced. It may be too low now... Now i think that it should be at least 4.2/Mhash_rate.

Ohh... My fault. I deactivated it during debug.

Yes. We can continue here or in here

New version https://www.dropbox.com/s/1pc58s0b7jqxjdn/v0.6_update_to_3.5.1.tar.bz2

Price drop.

I made one change which was due to segfault (can you download the previous version?)

line 1302


your version of the driver-bitfury.c achieved an increase in the rate of +1 Ghash, but there are two problem:
- Sometimes when determining the device is not all (you have to restart cgminer);
- Falling speed <1Ghash reset_chip function does not work as it is turned off (if (0 && total_secs> 60 && cgpu-> rolling <1000), and thus the algorithm does not take any action on the chip output from this mode.

p.s./ Вы случайно русский не знаете? (Do you speak Russian?)

Thanks! It works under FreeBSD with  minimal include/lib adaptation. But instead of normal shutdown it crashes... Something strange in bitfury_shutdown()... But who want to stop miner ?

Do you have any changes in hashrate  ?

version cgminer 3.5.0 (based on you changes) https://www.dropbox.com/s/1dn02frgz9sj2no/cgminer_hid_hades.tar.bz2

I have the error when start cgminer_hid from last post:

error while loading shared libraries: libhidapi-hidraw.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

library libhidapi-hidraw.so.0 is present in /usr/local/lib/
when i build from sources i recieve error:
 Electric Fence bug

slightly modified version of cgminer with automatic clockbit selection: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mwdfp9lv9ey1umh/cgminer_hid-autoclock.tgz
PS I run cgminer under FreeBSD, so if you have problems with building it under Linux look sources (link posted by wttbs) and revese some def/undef...

works fine, just had to put together your fork to get rid of the error segfault, as well as in the code driver-birfury.c one error about which he wrote needbmw. is currently working steadily.

The Hashbuster runs fine with the Virtualbox image on Windows 7

90% use windows and impossible to use with it !

dont buy this.

seller on ebay obtain a negative feedback quickly for sure

how to lost time and money

Where can I find updates cgminer or plan to support the developers of these disorders or bfgminr cgminer?

Where can I find the description of the color LED status - for example interested in the appearance of yellow color.

I downloaded the source code you posted cgminer, and in accordance with the instructions compiled it.
I encountered such a problem that occurs, when I run the compiled cgminer, it gives the following error:
Electric Fence 2.1 Copyright (C) 1987-1998 Bruce Perens
ElectricFence Aborting: Allocating 0 bytes, probably a bug.

I got a similar error, compiling miner on 32 and 64 bit ubuntu. I tried to use versions ElectricFence 2.1.19 (as in your virtual machine) and 2.2
When I run in my 32 bit Ubuntu cgminer copied from  virtual machine, it works.
But I have to run cgminer on 64 bit (Intel) Ubuntu. Copied from the virtual machine does not want to, swears by 64bit libraries.

Can you help me resolve an Electric Fence? or maybe you could put the pre-compiled version of cgminer a 64 bit OS (intel). I would appreciate it.

I have a virtual machine does not want to connect more than one usb miner. (

Hopefully cgminer/minepeon will be compatible with the hashbusters quick, and a small pricedrop and I'll be ordering some boards.

@wttb thanks for the nice creview

Cheers

Ohhh Great review, thanks!

HashBuster Nano ASIC miner review by WTTBS

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sellin-stock-hashbuster-asic-miners-293668

This is a story/review of me buying 3 pieces HashBuster Nano (ASIC miner). My name is WTTBS (nickname on bitcointalk.org), I live in the Netherlands and I have been working and playing with computers and IT-stuff for over 25 years. Much experience with Windows and OS X, started with Linux in 2013. Now a days I only use OS X and Linux (learning more and more about Linux every day).

Order and shipping

September 17 2013 I contacted hashbuster.com to order 3 pieces. September 18 I got an answer (including this line: Sorry for late reply. We are a little overloaded with requests). Late reply? Within 1(/2) day, I think that is fast. September 18 I paid the BTC to their BTC-Address, I didn’t use escrow.  September 19 a confirmation payment has been received. September 20 (Friday) I received a message the package has been shipped with DHL tracking number. Tuesday September 24 I received the package from DHL. Everything was packed very well.
  
The order and shippingprocess went very well and great communication with the seller: 10 out of 10.

Installation

The PCB with Bitfury chip is build very good, as far as I can determine. You can easily built the fans with the screws and bolts on the PCB.

With a little creativity you can built two PCB’s on 1 fan (depending on what size fans are delivered).
Now you can connect the fan to the PCB.
 
The PCB needs 12 Volt power. You can use the molexconnector (that comes with the complete package). The yellow cable is + (12V), connect it to the right on the green block (facing front), there is a + sign on the PCB. The other two are Ground, use the back cables. You have to connect at least one black (Ground) cable, two is also possible: maybe better (looking) you don’t have loose cables.

Now you can connect power to the molex, I use my standard powersupply (B-quiet 300W) connector from my Linux (Ubuntu) Server. When something is not right with the power the “Power Bad Led” will light up, everything went well in my case so the Status Led lit up bright white. Connect the USB cables and everything is hooked up to your system.
  
Software

The Hashbuster is a very new product, unfortunately it is not yet default supported/recognized by CGminer of BFGminer. The makers have built a customized version of CGminer you can use on Linux. For the (pro)Linux users you can download and compile it on your Linux system:

Miner archive is located here:
https://mega.co.nz/#!GNdnlYIB!LFDZG0mZlNILXhlhJNNMhFYyTr40GSBlFkM6igZ-gGA << copy & paste (hyperlink cuts off link at #)

If you have any problems or questions regarding this modified CGminer please contact: [email protected]
 
The makers also provide a preinstalled with working CGMiner Virtual (Linux) Machine which you can run with Virtualbox. Virtualbox is available for Windows, OS X, Linux and Solaris.

Download and install Virtualbox:
https://www.virtualbox.org/
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

I also needed to install: VirtualBox 4.2.18 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack , to support USB.

Here you can download the Hashbuster Virtualbox Machine:

or
https://mega.co.nz/#!qIchwRoZ!Ub9IdDNmqK9M8WLwJN4pNntQokcxnob2Z44DU129gZ0 << copy & paste (hyperlink cuts off link at #)

I installed the above on Ubuntu 13.04 and it works great.
 
A note from the makers (September 24 2013): Regarding the software. Hashbuster nano currently works with modified version of cgminer on linux only. We are working to release cross platform version soon.

Conclusion:

I am very satisfied with the Hashbuster (Nano) ASIC miner. It’s not direct plug-and-play yet but if you have some knowledge and experience with computers and operating system/software you can get it running pretty easy. The makers are very supportive, dispite they are very busy you always get replies on your messages and questions within 1 (max 2) day(s).

Thanks, really expecting.

I haven't tested it on Windows but you can install (Oracle) Virtualbox for Windows and then run the virtual (linux) machine with the modified CGminer. Link to the Virtual Image will be in my review.
