Topic: [ANN] FutureBit Moonlander 2: The Most Powerful and Efficient USB Stick Miner! - page 2. (Read 82938 times)

Any plans to release another, more powerful Moonlander USB Miner?

I tried mine on Zerg as well and got the same issue, but my research showed it doesn't really matter if its saying mismatched block contents, no proof of this.  I think its just like the issuing old work message you get on some other fast switching pools.  The difficulty is a little high at Zerg, it says it supports from 2 to 65k but it doesn't really seem to like anything below 50k.

Has anyone gotten the moonlander to run on Zerg or Zpool? I get very limited shares and responses.

Lots of time I see dead pool or miss matched block contents.

I know on Windows you have to set (-S MLD:\\.\COM*) for each device, ie, (-S MLD:\\.\COM251 -S MLD:\\.\COM250), if you are trying to select certain UNITS or us -S MLD:ALL FOR all MLD it can find.

Wrong thread :p

I keep putting of listing replacement fans on shop.futurebit.io...ill try and put them up this week.

Thanks! I'll give that a try.

You can message FutureBit on Facebook Messager and order fans that way.

Hey everyone,

The fan on one of my moonlanders gave out a few days ago. I noticed that a few people have posted links to replacement fans earlier on this thread. I noticed however that these replacement fans do not come with a connector. That is, they come with bare wires on them. Would you happen to know where I can get the appropriate connector or where I can find a replacement fan with the correct connector?

Thanks!

Thank you for your help! the timeout method is now working and restarting every hour i need to take a deeper look into why it is failing every few hours. i might need to tweek the voltages?

Regards

From that error, it appears that the path you specified does not exist, or perhaps the script is not executable.

To check run these commands and put the output in a reply here.

You are looking for at the start of the line that has on it. If your output doesn't look like that, you may need to use:

To help yourself out a bit, you might want to watch some youtube videos about using the RaspberryPi shell.

while true; do timeout 7200 /home/pi/miner/bfgminer_5.4.2-futurebit2_linux_armv6/start_moonlander2.sh; sleep 3; done

Timeout: failed To run Command '/home/pi/miner/bfgminer_5.4.2-futurebit2_linux_armv6/start_moonlander2.sh': No Such File or Directory?

Please help!!

  Some how they got your code, they work on your bfgminer that runs the Moonlander 2.

Hey moonlander fans, just wanted to post an update with better instructions:

the futurebit profile uses bfgminer on PiMP OS there is a built in profile for it.
5151 (asic) bfgminer: for usb futurebit asics [bfg.futurebit.conf]

So you would fire up your PiMP rig and do:

pimp --add 5151
pimp --test 2 (or whatever it is added as)
and watch it mining
then go edit the config file for your favorite pool if you like, and your own wallet.

Here is the example config we use:

{
"pools" : [
        {
                "url" : "stratum+tcp://americas.scrypt.mining-dutch.nl:6668/#skipcbcheck",
                "user" : "DocDrydenn.PiMP",
                "pass" : "d=512",
                "pool-priority" : "0"
        }],
"expiry" : "120",
"expiry-lp" : "3600",
"failover-switch-delay" : "300",
"log" : "20",
"no-pool-disable" : true,
"no-client-reconnect" : true,
"no-show-processors" : true,
"no-show-procs" : true,
"queue" : "1",
"quiet-work-updates" : true,
"quiet-work-update" : true,
"scan-time" : "60",
"skip-security-checks" : "0",
"scrypt" : true,
"kernel-path" : "/opt/miners/bfgminer-futurebit",
"scan" : "MLD:ALL",
"set-device" : "MLD:clock=384"
}

If anyone has any suggestions or would like anything tested let us know. We will be in the PiMP Mining discord at discord.me/pimp.
Thanks again for the great work.

Great work to the Futurebit dev crew, We Thank you very much for the bfgminer compatibility / build as it allows us reliable stat collection for PiMP OS / miner.farm.

We have had great test results with the Moonlander, and have included a miner, conf, and example profile for it in PiMP OS to show our support.

We hope to see more great releases from this top team!

Thanks again for making it easy for PiMP OS to support this miner.

No one has my schematics/designs...the only possible source would be a PCB design leak from the Chinese PCB manufacturer I use. Even so they don't have the full BOM so they would still need to at the very least reverse engineer resistor values and guess on capacitors. On top of that they needed to pull off my UART controller code thats embedded onto the chip, since the stick can't work with my bfgminer code without it. You'd be surprised how industrious the chinese can be when they can copy a relatively successful design.

LOL, reverse engineering? You think someone is that industrious? I could be wrong, but whomever jstefanop contracted out with to manufacture the ML2 either offered to remake these for this other person or the schematics were shared (possibly for a price) with another manufacturer. Could be an enterprising employee that has access to the schematics or even the owner him/herself. Electronics have a shelf life and the closer to obsolescence it reaches, the easier it is to have access to the schematics. Its all about the relationships and who you know in Hong Kong & mainland China.

yep appears to be a rip off, different circuit board design but most likely the same ASIC chip.... a certain country is very good at reverse engineering things....


@jstefanop congrats on the new miner buddy, it is a beauty!



whats with all the phishing links, super annoying, glad to see that MODs are on top of it.
