Hello,
New to cryptocurrency mining. I just purchased my first Moonlander script miners (3 of them) and a Gekkoscience Bitcoin miner.
I'm looking forward to playing around and learning what this is all about. I tried my moonlanders straight off the macbook pro but it looks like I need a powered USB hub to run even one of them. I wasn't able to source a Superbpag USB hub but I managed to get an Orico 10 port powered USB hub. I hope it works.
Question about Scrypt mining, Can the moonlander mine currencies other than Litecoin? I found this site here, http://www.cryptocoinsinfo.com/ and was interested in testing a few out once my USB hub arrives.
Anything else I should know other than what's in the instructions on the first page?

yes you can mine scrypt coins..
unfortunately there isnt very many scrypt coins that are worth anything.
i currently have my moonlanders pointed to ispace.co.uk
they have a lowest difficulty scrypt multipool.. it automatically changes to the lowest diff coin that they mine.. you can set it to auto convert them to btc when you have enough.. which takes a long time.
i think just mining on litecoinpool.org is the best. i have 8 moonlanders and they make about 2 litecoins per month.
I started playing around with awesome miner and ghash.io (pool) on an old PC I have laying around. How can I check the comparison between ispace.co.uk and litecoinpool.org.
On the bright side, I've ben reading a few articles that litecoin may actually make a comeback. Though, it seems that if litecoin is interested in being the "silver" to the bitcoin currency, it still won't amount to much in comparison.
there is no comparison between ispace and litecoinpool.
ispace mines low diff and newer coins in the hope that one day they might be worth something..
litecoinpool mines litecoins.. they have a calculator on the site that will tell you how many you make per month.
a bit of info that should probably go on the first page.. to get these to work on many pools you need to add
#skipcbcheck after the port..
so like
stratum+tcp://example.com:3333#skipcbcheck
Got it. I was under the impression that you could select which currency to mine with ispace. I'll start with litecoin before I get crazy. So I managed to get a temporary hub going.
Okay so my first question:
I managed to get two devices recognized (The USB hub I got only has room for two) and I reconfigured the mac bfgminer file with the following script on line 4:
Code:
./bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://uk1.ghash.io:3333 -u up103037409.worker3 -p xxx -S all --set MLD:clock=144
MLD0 and MLD1 both show no activity. Do I need to enable something? Did I configure it wrong?
I'm also getting these messages:
Code:
[2016-08-03 17:03:18] Stratum connection to pool 0 interrupted
Code:
[2016-08-03 17:13:51] Pool 0 is hiding block contents from us
Code:
[2016-08-03 17:27:19] Stratum connection to pool 0 interrupted
Now I'm just running a single Moonlander from the USB Hub. I'll keep running this to see if anything changes. I get an update approximately every 30 seconds or so.
One last thing... this BFG Miner URL doesn't work. https://www.dropbox.com/s/qn63pkae2pdlulm/BFgminer-FutureBit-5.4--win64.zip?dl=0
