We're going to need a bigger heatsink.

Hey, the windows binaries for bfgminer have been taken down from dropbox... Does anyone have them lying around?

Hoping some active users of this asic still check on here

I just bought 2 of these 2nd hand ebay. got them up and running at prohashing.com

I read the 2.77 KH/s per Mhz on page 1
I have the voltage at .95V and .96V (so touchy BTW)
set the clocks at 304

according to the math above 2.77*304=842.08kh/s *2 miners = ~1684.16 kh/s

In bfgminer my all time average hash rate for
MLD 0 ~1.02Mh/s
MLD 1 ~660kh/s

so both together is ~1.68Mh/s

Should I be worried/concerned that 1 runs higher? but the average is close to the calculation?

on mine if you go too high on the clocks they slow down.. so maybe try the next couple lower clock speed to see if the one picks up speed.

Hi there,
I have a weird problem with my Moonlander.

BFGMiner says this:
[2017-01-11 09:05:44] Work job_id 493a nonce2 02000000
[2017-01-11 09:05:44] Generated stratum work
[2017-01-11 09:05:44] Pushing work 262 from pool 0 to hash queue
[2017-01-11 09:05:44] Received no-transaction-list response for pool 0 job 493a
[2017-01-11 09:05:44] Open \\.\COM3 failed, GetLastError:121
[2017-01-11 09:05:44] futurebit: Failed to open \\.\COM3

It also says things like:
Applying clock speed xxx mHz to MLD
0 cores detected on MLD

Can anyone help me?

Thank you!

Hi guys

Can someone explain ne why my futurebit usb miner dont got a voltage adjustment? Huh

You can See it on the picture :: i only can Mine with 144mhz frequency

Please help me how i can get the Best of it or how i can Change the voltage via Software

ive never seen a solid light before.. how do you have it connected to pc? i see you have a usb extension cable?
ive had mine on solo nh but the min for diff is 256 on that site.. try ltc.tbdice.org if you want to go solo. make the diff 32.

I don't know what has happened back then with the red light, but now is perfectly OK and I do not have this warning light anymore. Maybe it was something wrong with my drivers after the installation. My connection is through USB 3.0

Your issue is with USB 3.0. Unfortunately Silicon Labs drivers for these have a bug with USB 3.0, which locks up the USB controller (hence the red light). Not sure if they every fixed this, but I would try downloading the latest VCOM drivers or using USB 2.0 ports.

why would anyone still mining scrypt based coin, even worst litecoin, it has feature of a stone compared to other altcoin

Because with the right equipment and electricity costs its still profitable.

Hello,

Sorry, I have one more question.

My device has just arrived and works great on litecoinpool.org abut I am trying to set it up on solo.nicehash.com but I have some problem with a command line.

There is a code on solo.nicehash.com:

Code:

stratum+tcp://stratum.solo.nicehash.com:3334 -u yourAddress.Worker1 -p x

But when I try to paste it, save it into Start_MoonLander.bat and run it connects but it says there is no device.

So I tried connected it with a code from the original file:

Code:

./bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://us.litecoinpool.org:3333 -u jstefanop.1 -p 1,d=8 -S MLD:all --set MLD:clock=144

like this

Code:

./bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.solo.nicehash.com:3334 -u yourAddress.Worker1 -p x 1,d=8 -S MLD:all --set MLD:clock=144

But it is too much, something's is wrong as well.

How to set it up properly?

EDIT:

OK< I have manage to fix it, the code should be:

Code:

bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.solo.nicehash.com:3333 -u ADDRESS.WORKER -p 1,d=8 -S MLD:all --set MLD:clock=144

But now I have different problem. Everything works fine but after 10 maybe 20 minutes I got red light and a screen:

ive never seen a solid light before.. how do you have it connected to pc? i see you have a usb extension cable?
ive had mine on solo nh but the min for diff is 256 on that site.. try ltc.tbdice.org if you want to go solo. make the diff 32.

Hello,

I bought this little device for around $20 second hand. I am completely new and noob in crypto mining. I have some questions, probably stupid, but I have nowhere else to ask.

1. There is a link in the first post about Driver Repo, a link with some files to download. Do I have to download any of this and install. If so, what to install? (I am using Win10)
2. In one of the post here, I think the constructor of this device said "People use this mostly as cheap little lottery miners. They cost next to nothing to run, and you have a chance of making about $100 if you get lucky". What did he mean? Where to sign up for it?
3. From what I understand, the device will run with no problem with no fan under 144MHz, if I would like to overclock it in need a fan. Is something like ARCTIC Breeze Mobile will be OK?
4. Is there a possibility to overheat it do death? Does it have some kind of safe feature like in desktop computers where you can't easily "burn" your processor?
5. I understand frequency setting which I can change in the Start_Moonlander.bat file, bot how is it connected with voltage adjustment? Is there any table or chart, for example if frequency is set to X turn voltage to Y?

I apologize for my ignorance and I hope someone would be so kind to answer my questions.

1) Yes you need to download the silicon labs COM drivers for windows 10, as well as the actual bfgminer driver to run these

2)I mean you can run these on a solo pool, where the pool pays you out for the entire block if your miner is the one that actually happens to find the right solution (the current block reward for litecoin is 25 LTC, so that roughly equals about 100 bucks). Nicehash has a nice solo pool https://solo.nicehash.com/

3)Yes, as long as some airflow is blowing over the fan blades even high end clock speeds will be fine

4) Yes...there is no internal temp on this asic...it will most likely just crash before it fries itself, but damage is still a possibility especially if it runs at over 90C for any lengthy period of time.

5)You just have to play with it...you can run bfgminer in -benchmark mode which will return many shares/s...which will allow you to see your hardware error rate in real time. You can then manually change the voltage with the pot as you watch the error rate. Just turn the voltage down untill you see lots of errors, then slowly turn it up. Once it reach nearly zero errors you know you have found the sweet spot for that frequency.

Is it possible to run BFGMiner with a MoonLander mining scrypt and a AntMiner U3 mining SHA256 in the same window? If so how would I compile/configure? If not, I guess I could just run 2 separate instances.

Now testing prohashing with fixed diff of 512.

Moonlanders at full speed WORKS on prohashing.

I am very happy. No more "litecoinpool only" miner.
