UPDATE 1:
1. I tried two Moonlanders in my PC as it has 2 free USB 3.0 slots. They started mining right away. Then eventually petered out around 30 mins later. They peaked at 700kh/s together.
2. I figured that it was too much to have both so then I tried just one. Same thing about 30 mins later big red LED light was on.
Where do I check the voltage? or do I need a voltmeter? I am using the stock settings other than the modified pool and user script on the "Start_Moonlander.bat" file.
Q: What are my troubleshooting steps?
Q: Or is this a case where the USB ports on my PC can't handle the sustained power draw even though they are USB3.0?
UPDATE 2:
So I tested one of the ML's on a Motherboard USB which is a USB2.0 port. I'm mining from the ghash.io pool. So far so good. It's been running at approximately 400ish kh/s for about an hour now. It slowed to a crawl once but never went 'sick' (red LED constant) I'm going to leave it overnight and see how it performs.
PS. Ghash.io says their minimum diff is 16 and it's autocontrolled. I can't find where to manually edit this anywhere on their site. Does anyone have experience with this pool?
yes they like to be on usb 2.0.. with the 2 superbpags i have they are connected to a usb2.0 hub then the rpi.
https://www.amazon.com/Superbpag-Portable-Charger-Transfer-Samsung/dp/B013OK10YMits the only way i can get them to work stable.
as far as pools, i almost always go back to litecoinpool.org.. they pay 103% PPS with no fee.. with my 8 sticks i make 2.1 ltc per month.. or about 8$
id love to mine on zpool.ca with these, but they only produce hardware errors and 100% rejects.. i cant figure out why.
you can choose the coin on ispace.. they have ports for most of the coins.. they also have 3 different kinds of multipools.. one is the most profitable by coinwarez, two is lowest diff, and 3,4 and 5 is rotation.
im currently trying the number 1 multipool.. i have 8 moonlanders and 5 compacs on it.
if you are going to try the ispace multipool, port 4453 didnt work for me. i had to use port 4435
the full url would be stratum+tcp://ispace.co.uk:4435#skipcbcheck
most of the coins arent worth anything.. but these things arent going to make you rich anyway.
