got 10 of these running......NNNAAAAHHHHHIIIICCCCCEEEE!!!!

THANKS BPMC AND SSINC!

was a little work to get them going on windows 7.....maybe cause of the usb eruptors on there too? anyway. got it, working great, thanks again.

I installed 3.7.2 of cgminer, and it's now performing as well for me as the special debug version of 3.6.6 did -- without the constant barrage of comm errors that 3.7.0 introduced.  It's still only producing 1.3-1.4Gh/sec on my fury -- the same as BFGminer's effective rate.  



I also experimented a bit with the work difficulty level, thinking maybe it would perform better on much more difficult work.  So I turned the difficulty up to 256 and let it run overnight.  At first, it looked promising.  But I think I just got a couple initial quick finds.  After about 6 or so hours, it still only produced about 1.4Gh/sec on average....*sigh*

That's one way to try and minimize the over promised hash rate.  On the other hand if someone payed 0.8 bitcoins and only got 85% of what they paid for, they're out 0.10 to 0.12 bitcoins at least.. which is a far cry from $3.20 at the moment.

I'm unclear as to any real solution to a recurring problem I'm having and seeing in this thread, perhaps it was lost in translation but I am trying to get mine running on bfgminer for Win 7 as per the directions in the Op.  Windows has installed and recognized the devices, when I run bfgminer it tells me my bluefury com ports are busy and can't be contacted.

Additional observation, when these are powered but with usb hub to pc disconnected the light is a yellow/orange color, as soon as I connect the hub they turn dark orange/red color.

If someone could provide a clear concise troubleshooting/solution for this issue I'd greatly appreciate it (and please add it to the OP it seems to be a common enough problem....)

Thanks!

Very true.

It means they are hashing. It just means that you have stopped the mining software and not reset the device before starting the software again.

When running cgminer, the yellow LED shuts off for me and they just flash red when hashing.  Later switching to bfgminer doesn't not restore the yellow LED and will continue to only flash red when hashing.  However, if I only use bfgminer from a fresh reset though. the yellow LED stays on even with the red LED flashing while mining.

If the yellow LED is always supposed to be lit indicating power, then is WinUSB or cgminer doing something wrong that this yellow LED goes out, and if so.. why does the firmware allow this?

Yes I just got a promising email from Luke so we should have a firmware update out soon that will fix the error rate and improve the hash rate. Also people who are getting bellow 2ghs are you using windows?

Stats after more than 24 hours on Win7, bfgminer 3.2.0


Average hash rate is 2.26 GH/sec, actual submitted average is a bit lower.  Consistent with prior results.

just a dummy question. do we talk here about RED fury or BLUE fury ? Why is it named blue when no one talk/write about blue light.
Maybe i forgot ( the years are here) , but i have in memory that BLUE furys will have blue light
