Running bfgminer requires an additional -S argument:īfgminer -S bigpic:all -o hostname -u username -p passwordįeel free to leave any questions below or on this thread on the Bitcoin Talk forums. Once the BF1 Blue Fury or Red Fury is detected you can fire up your chosen miner using the -o, -u and -p arguments to start hashing away:Ĭgminer -o hostname -u username -p password Once you have the proper Bitcoin mining software installed and the kernel extensions loaded (or unloaded), you can use the -d? argument to list available devices with bfgminer: To unload those drivers (if you intend on using cgminer) execute the following: To load the required Apple drivers (if you intend to use bfgminer) execute the following commands: When using cgminer that driver (kernel extension) must be unloaded. When using bfgminer the Apple Communication Device Class (CDC) driver will be used. Unlike with the Block Erupter there is no driver or software to download. And, as with the Block Erupters, cgminer will fail to detect the BF1 Fury stick unless that same kernel extension is unloaded.
#CGMINER NO DEVICES DETECTED ASIC INSTALL#
If you’d like to install the miner using the latest source from Github rather than the latest official package, use the –HEAD (two dashes prefix) parameter, e.g.:īrew install bfgminer -HEAD Driver InstallationĪs with the ASICMINER Block Erupters, bfgminer requires the correct kernel extension to be loaded in order to detect the BF1 Fury stick. Finally, install either cgminer or bfgminer:.Tap this Homebrew repostory so that you can install packages from it:.Run the following command and fix any reported issues:.Install Homebrew by entering the following command:.Launch Terminal.app from Spotlight or from your Applications folder.One of the more full-proof methods is to use Homebrew:
#CGMINER NO DEVICES DETECTED ASIC MAC OS#
There is a thread here on the Bitcoin Talk forums which discusses various ways to install cgminer and bfgminer on Mac OS X. There are several ways to go about this, from compiling them yourself, to using Homebrew, to downloading precompiled binaries. However, while the Block Erupters hash at 335Mh/s the new BF1 Fury sticks hash at anywhere from 2.2Gh/s up to 3.0Gh/s.Īs with the ASICMINER Block Erupters, the first step is to install either bfgminer or cgminer on OS X. The BF1 Fury sticks look very similar to the ASICMINER Block Erupter sticks. The most popular of these are USB sticks branded as either Blue Fury or Red Fury, depending on the color of the onboard LED. A new batch of ASICs is hitting the market based on the 55nm Bitfury ASIC chip (abbreviated BF1).
