Thanks man,

It'll be clearer when I actually start installing NF6s tomorrow, but that's a big help. I'll be watching for serial numbers.

The easiest way is to go to the Device [M]anagement (press M) and using the up and down arrows go through each device - it will show you also the serial numbers.
I think when you exit from bfgminer it also shows the serials in the summary screen.

Hi, NF2 and/or NF6 owners!

...Is there a way to auto set them at BFGminer startup?

Yup - because I have several devices that run the best at different speeds this is what I have in my bfgminer.conf file:

Code:

{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333",
"user" : "vs3.nanofury2",
"pass" : "nanofury2"
}
]
,
"scan" : [
"nanofury:all"
],
"set-device" : [
"NFY:baud=500000",
"NFY:osc6_bits=56",
"NFY@0000144799:osc6_bits=54",
"NFY@0000075588:osc6_bits=54"
]
}

That way they're all at 56 bits, with the exception of those two which are at 54 bits speed. You can adapt the config file to fit your needs and add your other devices and their specific per-device settings.

Due to a cancelled sale we have 10 Nano Fury II's available on the website. That will be it for them. We have no plans to produce more at this time.

BUT!- the Nano Fury 6 is now available in the webstore. We will not have a big thread on the product here so look at the webstore for details. There are only 30 available so it's likely to be a short sale.

But check it out - very cool miner.

I plugged the first one into my computer and opened bfgminer, it was running at about 2.5 gh/s, even when I raised it to 55 bits, with <1% error rate.

Then I put the second Nano Fury into my computer and the first NF2 dropped to below 1.5 gh/s with an error rate of 4% and the second NF2 stayed at .5 gh/s with an error rate of 75%. I then went and bought a powered usb 2.0 hub and 2 usb fans and installed everything and plugged it into my computer. When i opened bfgminer it was the same results.

on to the several issues that I suspect - one at a time:
- 2.5 vs 5GH - this indicates that only one chip is hashing or being recognized by the software. That's makes me think you're using an older version of bfgminer. Note that 3.10 does not include dual-chip support. As 3.11 is not yet out you need to download the latest development (non-tagged) version - it may report something like 3.99.

- plugging a second miner causes drop in hashes - most likely both miners are powered by the same power supply which hits its limitations and there is no enough juice to run two miners. A powered hub should take care of the issue. Note also that there are some powered hubs that have very very crappy power supplies and they kick in after your desktop power starts going way down (by which time it might be too late). There is a whole thread on which hub to use, with people sharing their experiences.
I personally have very good results with the 7-port Amazon Basics one:

Amazon has their own custom built 7 port usb 2.0 hubs with 5v/4a adapter for $19 shipped (prime). Ordered 7 for an antminer project, i'll report back how they work out.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DQFGJR4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Actually they were $12 at some point ... I should've ordered more of them at that time. I've been using them for testing various quantities of NanoFury boards and so far they've been performing pretty well.

- plugging NF2s directly into the PC - this is not a good idea. When hashing at full power the NF2 will use 1.2-1.3A (and if you overclock it - even more). The standard USB2 connector can supply only 0.5A. For that reason you need to use an external powered hub (and make sure you leave enough power for each miner - e.g. of the hub comes with a 4A brick that would be enough for 3 NF2s).

- If you absolutely must plug it into the PC (or just for testing) then do not run it at full power. Underclock it to 30-35 bits. It will hash at slower speed but it will also use much less power.
You can use this approach to check that you have the correct version and that it sees all chips.

I just installed the newer version of bfgminer and everything seems to be working fine. I'm using a 2A usb powered hub, so that's my problem. i will have to wait until i can order the eyeboot 49 port hub with 40A, then I will order more NF2s.

I am doing a little testing now with everything working as it should be, but chip a on one of the NF2s doesn't seem to be getting read. It just says 0.0 / 0.0 / 0.0 h/s, and when I hit the down arrow to go to chip b, it reads as normal. Does anyone know why it might not be reading something on that first chip? Is it something wrong with the NF2 itself or what? thanks

I did read the other responses prior to this quote, in the meantime, If you feel brave, I have some options that may point out the issue and eliminate power as an issue. I had to do some similar troubbleshooting on my own equipment and antminers/erupters/etc that turned out to be the hub and power as issues so it's similar.

If you can find a HDD to fan type connector ( cheap 12V powered from HDD passthrough fans ) and make a jumper to your hub ( cut off at the fan for length of cable and doubble check which is power, which is ground ). MOST ( not all ) power connections at USB Hubs have center pin positive. I took one of them and desoldered the power connection and found that it's outer power on mine. I also found a ' flake ' of solder AT the pins of the USB Hub IC ( 1 to 7 hub IC after a 1 to 4 hub IC ) keeping the D+ and D- on one port shorted to each other ( no detect anything on that plug until it was cleaned, lucked out it didn't kill the IC or that port ).
I CUT the 5V line for the USB cable ON the board ( and long enough to undo if needed ) so I wouldn't power the PC from the hub.

I did a similar mod for a 7 port hub but with a wireless router power adapter as it was rated at 5V @ 2.5A DC.
Some other posts recomend signal diodes for the 5V USB cable to the modded hubs to prevent power going back in to the PC or causing issues. If you keep all grounds as ground ( no floating voltages, and ground from everything eventually hits the pc power supply ground ) everything should be ok.

I also checked the hubs' caps ( yes, there are 4 capacitors in one of my hubs ) and replaced them all for higher rating ( moved to 16V 2200 Uf from the 6v 1000 Uf ones ) and the other hub didn't have any on the power line except the ones at the Hub IC ( to clean power ). Hope this helps someone out there

and good luck mining!

Sorry, I meant the version you linked me for 64bit is the one I downloaded. And I have interchanged the NF2 from the hub to the back of my computer and the front of my computer, everywhere i put it, with usb fan or without, it still shows 0.0 / 0.0 / 0.0 h/s for chip a of this specific NF2.

As soon as I can I will be ordering the eyeboot 40A 49 port hub, and the 24 ATX power supply, as well as 28 more Nano Fury 2s. Rushing to get it done before May ends so I can get the deal, and if it is the chip, I will return it.

Thanks much for the help. loving the product so far

Yeah we'll replace it for you if it's still an issue. Just let us know.

It's likely the hub. Pull it plug it directly into your computer. Also - the newest version may not be the right version. I would recommend that until 3.11 comes out you use the links from my other post.

Can ANYONE please help me, I would really appreciate it. I am new to these forums, so I will leave my email for anyone to help me. Thanks

Hopefully vs3 chimes in here. But it sounds like your first one is only seeing one chip and you need a different version of BFGMiner.
Try one of these.

http://www.nanofury.com/80adc6d430c9f49010a0a6e80e7bd832c9c61b16-win32.zip
http://www.nanofury.com/80adc6d430c9f49010a0a6e80e7bd832c9c61b16-win64.zip

Then when the second one goes in there are not enough amps for the two of them.
So - what USB hub are you using? Does it have external power or does it just plug into your computer? If it has external power what are the amps (example, 4A) listed on the power cord/converter.

- cgminer uses its own version of the HID driver (Zadig). So in order to use cgminer you have to trick Windows to replace the driver for a particular device with Zadig's.

I hate to be pedantic but this is not quite true.

The device talks USB while HID is a driver designed for user interface devices like keyboards and mice, so when using software that uses this driver, it goes device -> usb -> hid driver -> software. Zadig is not actually a driver; it's a utility to tell windows to remove the driver and use the microsoft direct usb communication protocol (effectively a Microsoft driver called WinUSB). So while WinUSB appears to be a "driver" it's actually telling windows to just give the raw usb data to the software. So software that uses WinUSB (like cgminer which uses it for every single USB device) is talking directly to the usb device, bypassing the need for any driver, so it is going device -> usb -> cgminer.

Having said that, we don't have support for 2+ chip nanofury based devices, but VS3 is kindly sending me some devices to add support to cgminer, thanks!

I just tried 4.3.3, still running at half speed.

Reminder to all to make sure you are only using the OP link for Bfgminer. Other versions do not work (yet).

Con - thanks for the clarification! That's actually much better than mine! (which was rather simplified when it shouldn't have been as much)

- cgminer uses its own version of the HID driver (Zadig). So in order to use cgminer you have to trick Windows to replace the driver for a particular device with Zadig's.

I hate to be pedantic but this is not quite true.

The device talks USB while HID is a driver designed for user interface devices like keyboards and mice, so when using software that uses this driver, it goes device -> usb -> hid driver -> software. Zadig is not actually a driver; it's a utility to tell windows to remove the driver and use the microsoft direct usb communication protocol (effectively a Microsoft driver called WinUSB). So while WinUSB appears to be a "driver" it's actually telling windows to just give the raw usb data to the software. So software that uses WinUSB (like cgminer which uses it for every single USB device) is talking directly to the usb device, bypassing the need for any driver, so it is going device -> usb -> cgminer.

Having said that, we don't have support for 2+ chip nanofury based devices, but VS3 is kindly sending me some devices to add support to cgminer, thanks!

FYI, I created self-signed drivers for bf1 and bifury drivers, now works with bfgminer on win8.1 x64.
http://blog.insanegenius.com/2014/04/16/self-signed-bitfury-drivers/

interesting post!

A few clarifications though -
- most of the other devices (such as c-scape's bf1/bifury/etc) communicate via a virtual COM (serial) port. Those usually require drivers.
- NanoFury via bfgminer uses Windows' built-in HID drivers (hidusb.sys) - and since those come from Microsoft all is good with them and they are properly signed.
- cgminer uses its own version of the HID driver (Zadig). So in order to use cgminer you have to trick Windows to replace the driver for a particular device with Zadig's. If you want to reverse that you need to "roll back driver". Sometimes uninstalling the device will not work as Windows already "knows better" and if it sees the same device will assign again the "last known good" driver - e.g. Zadig's.

Understood, I just meant that in my order of preference:
1) Devices identifies itself a standard HID device and Windows (and Linux and Mac) has built-in drivers. (Nano Fury II Thumbs Up)
2) Hardware vendor provides WHQL signed drivers for device for all platforms.
3) Zadig can be used to automatically install WinUSB/LibUSB drivers for device.
4) I have to sign the driver myself.

yeah, I saw it

I wanted to stress on the importance of drivers' conflicts and incompatibility

Thank you.
No need to guess, I did write that I used Zadig in my initial post Wink

I reverted to the Windows drivers and BFGMiner can now find the nf2.
But now none of my red fury or hex fury's work (no signed drivers for win8x64), I ended up running bfgminer and cgminer at the same time.
CGMiner support would be awesome, so much easier to get devices working with cgminer than bfgminer.

bfgminer.exe -d? results in 0 devices found.
cgminer finds and uses them all.

Let me guess - did you install the Zadig drivers?

Q: I ran cgminer, and now BFGMiner doesn't work!
A: cgminer has its own non-standard implementations of the drivers for most USB
devices, and requires you to replace the official drivers with WinUSB on Windows
(usually using Zadig). Before you can use BFGMiner, you will need to restore the
original driver. Uninstalling the device (and WinUSB driver) from Device Manager
and re-plugging it will usually trigger driver re-installation to the default
drivers.

Ahhh, that dreaded search option ... :-)

Hi, have two NF2's, using cgminer, I get less than 2GH/s.

Any ideas how to get closer to 4GH/s?

that's why - cgminer does not (yet) support multi-chip NanoFury devices (as mentioned on the previous page). This likely to be resolved in the coming month - some hardware will be sent towards Con within the next few days...

In case you've missed the instructions in the opening post here is the important bit again:

Quote from: Swimmer63 on March 22, 2014, 08:46:57 PM

Requires this version of BfgMiner: http://luke.dashjr.org/tmp/code/webisect/webisect.php?dobuild=bfgminer

which is not perfectly accurate - the link above will get you the most latest version, and support was added about a month ago, so if you have a build since then you might be good. Or if in doubt - better get the one from the link.

If only I knew what terms to search for Wink

Unfortunately bfgminer does not work, as in it does not detect any devices, while cgminer has been working for a long time.

bfgminer.exe -d? results in 0 devices found.
cgminer finds and uses them all.

Any advice on getting bfgminer working?

Hi, have two NF2's, using cgminer, I get less than 2GH/s.

Any ideas how to get closer to 4GH/s?

that's why - cgminer does not (yet) support multi-chip NanoFury devices (as mentioned on the previous page). This likely to be resolved in the coming month - some hardware will be sent towards Con within the next few days...

In case you've missed the instructions in the opening post here is the important bit again:

Quote from: Swimmer63 on March 22, 2014, 08:46:57 PM

Requires this version of BfgMiner: http://luke.dashjr.org/tmp/code/webisect/webisect.php?dobuild=bfgminer

which is not perfectly accurate - the link above will get you the most latest version, and support was added about a month ago, so if you have a build since then you might be good. Or if in doubt - better get the one from the link.

I am getting the following message with my NF II.

[2014-04-11 20:54:50] NFY 0a: Frequency drop over 50% detected, reinitialising

It is hashing nicely at 5.25. Is this anything to be concerned about?

BTW - Loving the NF II - Well done piece of hardware!

I have seen it too on some devices but it does not seem to effect speed. Probably a question for LukeJr or vs3 though.

Yeah - you may be hitting the max amps for the hub. That will cause the speed to stop rising when you increase bits. Or you can get other weird effects. I usually get one miner that will max out at 600 Mh/s. Then I know I have stretched the hub too far.

numbers are pretty good 4.4gh a stick and low error rates.

Glad they arrived Philip. You can push up the bits on those NF2's and they will hit 5 Gh/s. Just watch the error rates and give them plenty of time to adjust to the new settings. They adjust very slowly.....at least 4-5 minutes.

got them at setting 54 all the fury sticks are at 54. The 2 'ice' the 2 'nano' and your 2 bi nano.

I have pretty good results at 54 after that the furies falter on that particular hub. by that I mean the 1 chip nano and 1 chip ice fury sticks. as for your 2 chip sticks I do not know if they will go to 55 or 56 on that hub.

I will check to see if they are higher then 4.4 at the 54 setting although 4.4 is pretty good>

remember I have 3 different nano on this hub and 1 red fury along with cpuminer doing 18 gridseeds

my errors are under 1% and 4.4 hash not bad

my error each stick has 2 chips and each one was set on 53/54

not sure what I did to mix the stick with 53/54 now set at 54/54 will post new numbers later. I figure 4.6 -4.7 coming up with the new setting.

I want to thank Swimmer63 for sending me a fedex overnight package to replace the sticks lost by our wonderful post office.

I want to thank Dogie for his guide to mining with these sticks. I have this hub

http://www.amazon.com/GearMo%C2%AE-Port-Power-Adapter-Cable/dp/B00BZABGWK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1396987624&sr=8-2&keywords=gearmo+10+port+hub

I have 2 bi fury sticks on it
2 ice fury sticks on it
2 nano fury sticks on it 1
red fury stick on it

I have a better grade power supply feeding it

I am using dogie's guide and bfgminer 3.99 it runs all of these sticks fine.

I have a fan cooling the sticks and all nano's are clocked to 54. photos to come.

windows 7 64 bit. i7 3770t cpu asrock z77 itx-e mobo.

this is also running 18 grid seeds.

I am also eager to see support for them in cgminer but so far noone has added the code in it .. and the last time we checked with Con he indicated that he was busy with some other projects. So the best answer for now is that it will happen eventually but we don't know when.

Not so much busy as not having access to 2+ chip nanofury devices which is to be rectified shortly I believe due to hardware donation from yours truly, so support should be forthcoming in the next week.

'The right to privacy matters'

I left this post intact but with a strike line . Swimmer63 did something nice my first sticks are lost some where in trenton nj. swimmer63 overnighted via fedex a pair to replace the lost ones at no charge. They arrived today and are hashing away. I left him a good trust and assuming they do a decent overnight test run I will order more on weds. thanks.

my gear has not arrived.
frankly I am annoyed for more then one reason.
You sent a PM asking me to check out your gear. so I did.
I buy a lot of gear on site. I wanted to try a pair.

1)Price was 78 each no price cut on it . A big order had a price cut but I was willing to pay the premium just to try 2 out.
2)I paid for it via your website on March 28 or 29. You delayed shipping until Monday the 31st.
3)You sent it first class which means you spent about 3 bucks to ship it. A small flat rate box would have been 5.25. That means tracking and free insurance.
4) You dropped price on 1 to 9 sticks to 68 bucks
5) did not tell me about the price drop or offer me a better deal.

I said I had interest in larger purchases I am a known seller on ebay of hundreds if not thousands of usb sticks for mining.

Post office came and gone with todays mail no package which means monday at best. which will be more then 10 days for an in hand item.
Why would you do this if you are looking to make sales how on earth can this help your sales?

I only hope it shows by monday. I don't understand you way of doing business. 3 usd vs 5.25 usd is what you saved by shipping it first class.

do yourself a favor and go to this link. order small flat rate boxes and order padded flat rate envelopes.

good catch with the bfgminer stuff - seems the multi-chip support was added after 3.10 was released (so for now it's the development head/trunk version until 3.11 is released)

I ordered one on Saturday morning. It shipped Saturday afternoon. It arrived here today and is mining now.

The hardest part was waiting for the raspberry pi to build a modern version of bfgminer to support the NF.

I love it when a plan comes together!

nice! that is how it should be really...

agreed

Given how easy it is to set it up without COM ports .. I'm actually wondering why isn't everyone using this option ... oh well ..

Oh - and by the way - NO COMM PORTS to worry about - NanoFury does not use serial/COM ports at all ;-)

nice! that is how it should be really...

I have 3 of klintay's 19 port hubs ,

I can run 16x 1 chip nano ice furies on each of them at freq 54 .

I get about 2.5-2.6 a stick. I am philipma1957's second account

I don't have access to it on this pc.

Back to my other pc. nano fury run great and I hope the new hub can run a lot of them

From personal experience I know you can populate all ports with NF1 and they will be stable.

This new hub from Dipo Electron can take up to 49 because it is powered by ATX PSU and has 40A:

Of course there is COM port limitation so make sure you use regedit to clear all your COM ports first Cheesy

klintay - that does look nice!

49 port hub - I staggered 18 across the holes. When I try to put in the 19th it installs with an error. So I'm not sure if that is because the USB port on the pc is maxed or the hub is. I am thinking the pc.

I have used an old Anchor hub and a Juiced hub, but any powered hub will work. The more amps, the more you can run at greater speeds. They will run on 2.0 hubs, but if you are acquiring new I recommend the 3.0 hubs since they typically have more power.

Will look up those hubs... Running RaspberryPi so USB is out of the question (I enjoyed my Anker 9-port USB3.0 while I was mining with a laptop before though)...

You might be able to salvage the RasPI option - there are plenty of (powered!) USB2 hubs that can do the job.

Swimmer63 already posted a link to the thread reviewing the various hubs - I highly recommend browsing through it.

For example - here is my latest note there with some observations about a good (USB2) hub and a not so good one: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5717301

Interested in a few...

What hubs are you using in the pictures? and how many can it run? Looks like the best option for these huge USB miners...

Having fun goofing with a 49 port ASICMINER hub. Got them up to 52 bits but afraid to go any higher.
Will reset the display and see what it looks like tomorrow. Might try to break 80 though first. Shocked

EDIT: Got to 84 Gh/s.

Quote

Overclockable - speed of 4.7-5.4 Gh/s at 53-55 bits - stability can reduce with increased speed. 3.7-4.1 Gh/s requires 1A(amp), which is slightly more than USB 3.0 standard of .9A
5 Gh/s speed needs 1.5-1.8A per device. It is unlikely you will be able to utilize each port in a powered USB hub. In tests a 10 port "Juiced Systems" USB 3.0 powered hub ran 4 miners and a USB fan comfortably.

So what's the best method if one wants to populate 49 port hub with these.

EDIT - I replaced the screen shot with a run that was free from hub issues. That particular hub could not run efficiently with 4 miners and the miners themselves were not tuned individually.
This shot now shows miners I pulled randomly out of a box, tuned each one and let run overnight. Let us know if you have any questions.
I am also testing these on ASICMINER's 49 port hub to see what we can get out of that. Should be interesting.

06/20/2014 UPDATE

NF2 is now completely sold out.

BUT!- the Nano Fury 6 is now available in the webstore. We will not have a big thread on the product here so look at the webstore for details. There are very limited number available.

But check it out - very cool miner. We give you an additional heatsink for the front, which is flat, if you really want to overclock it.

Specs and Info:

LOWEST PRICED 5 Gh/s USB MINER AVAILABLE
NOT a Pre-Order -- In stock for immediate shipment
Each miner contains TWO Bitfury (Rev.1) ASIC Chips
Super Easy Install - No additional drivers needed for most computers
Requires this version of BfgMiner: http://luke.dashjr.org/tmp/code/webisect/webisect.php?dobuild=bfgminer
Overclockable - speed of 4.7-5.4 Gh/s at 53-55 bits - stability can reduce with increased speed. 3.7-4.1 Gh/s requires 1A(amp), which is slightly more than USB 3.0 standard of .9A
5 Gh/s speed needs 1.5-1.8A per device. It is unlikely you will be able to utilize each port in a powered USB hub. In tests a 10 port "Juiced Systems" USB 3.0 powered hub ran 4 miners and a USB fan comfortably.
Miners can exceed 5 Gh/s but have NOT been tested above BfgMiner oscillator settings of 55 bits. Running at higher speeds may damage the miner and will void the 30 day warranty.
Light to medium air circulation required for speeds over 3.7-4.1 Gh/s. USB fans work very well.

Info Sheet and Start-up Instructions

We have not tested many hubs conclusively at this point but believe amp capacity to be the only limiting factor. You can use USB 2.0 or 3.0 hubs. 3.0's typically have greater capacity. Please refer to this comprehensive list of hubs that been tested: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/which-usb-hub-to-use-with-block-erupters-nanofury-nf1-bpmc-red-fury-ant-u1-253749
