I've heard of three people in the last 24 hours who received their miners with an empty file in place of the miner program. This will obviously prevent the miner from working, but fortunately it's easy to check & fix:
An empty miner file looks like this:
ls -la /opt/bitfury/chainminer/miner
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi 0 Oct 2 10:05 /opt/bitfury/chainminer/miner
If your miner doesn't work and you can see an empty file like above, just run this and wait for the compilation process (~5 minutes):
cd /opt/bitfury/chainminer && sudo make clean && sudo make
