No kidding i received two out of the four X-1's I ordered and the first one i plugged in sent a shower of sparks everywhere, so far the 2nd unit hashes anywhere from 9 to 90 Ghz regardless of what the Freq is set to, the errors do seem to drop a bit if it's set to 1000 or below.. Your mileage may vary  

I had the black tape and hot glue on several of my units as well. 2 out of 3 are defective....Minersource did some amazing testing on these.

Some more information on getting BF1 sticks to work on OS X. As with the Erupter sticks, there is a driver that must be installed for bfgminer to work, and it must be unloaded in order for cgminer to work. With the Erupters these are the UART to USB drivers.

So, in order to get cgminer to detect the BF1 device on OS X, you must unload the following drivers (as stated by other users):


And, in order to get bfgminer to detect the BF1 device, you must load the same drivers:


After you do either you will have to unplug and replug in the BF1 device and then it should be detected by executing either miner with the -d? argument:

Hey there, I'm not worried about any bounty, I just can't seem to log in even after changing my password..

Anyone else having a problem?

I have tried everything on my mac but bfgminer doesn't recognize the BlueFury.
I can see it on my system profiler, have installed the latest bfgminer from brew and unloaded the kext's but nothing.... I really don't know what else to do... :-(

nothing i could do would work on bfgminer or slushes proxy. i had 3 or 4 people working on it with me all much more gifted linux users and miners.

so for now until i nuke and pave this box i am using a cloud based solution proxy. that worked from the first time i tried it. ive already hit a block running these two blades so for now, i am satisfied.

thank you for all of your help, and yes if you are having issues, post, post a lot and frequently, reading through your solutions helps, and it helps a great deal!

Just received my blade,sailed smoothly through the hardware stuff,however I'm stuck at the configuration page.

What I did was:

1)Open mining proxy(on default settings)
2)Set both the server addresses to my IP(as seen in cmd using /ipconfig)
3)Set the ports to 3333,8332
4)Set the account info to username_workername:password,username_workername:password

Now I'm getting two different results.

On port 3333,mining proxy goes batshit crazy,but the hashrate is still stuck at 0
On port 8332 nothing happens.

Would appreciate any help,thanks in advance.

Don't be afraid of command line. It is not as hard as it looks.

You should use bfgminer or cgminer instead. Bitminter is not a good mining software. I am not sure if Bitminter actually support blue fury. But bfgminer and cgminer is officially supported.
