<p>I got it working on my mac (OS X 10.9.0 Mavericks) using <a href="http://spaceman.ca/cgminer" rel="nofollow">http://spaceman.ca/cgminer</a>, but first steps first. Open Terminal and enter:</p>

<pre><code>sudo kextunload -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBCDC

# BlueFury BF1 and Mac OS X

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-10-16)

I've been mining with ASIC miners for a short while on Mac OS X and recently bought a few BlueFury BF1 miners but no matter what I can't get them to work.

bfgminer 3.3.0 states:

/dev/cu.usbmodem1d11 is already in use by another process

And bitminter and cgminer do nothing.
