I ordered one of these it will be here tomorrow.  I will let you know how it works on the custom images for the RPi2 and A10 Cubieboard with Minera that CrazyGuy setup.



I believe my HUB isn't performing to what it says. I got the superbpag USB 3.0 Superspeed HUB,http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W4X3DAA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00, and when I plug a moonlander in, it wont read on bfgminer. My computer will give the error "usb device not recognized the item has malfunctioned", I thought I received a destroyed miner, but when I connected my other two, it gave me the same error. I connected the miners directly into the computer and they all work.

Yet I'm having an issue of the speeds slowly decreasing and bfgminer 5.4 declaring it "SICK. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Should I increase the intensity?

Also to get multiple miners working at one time, should I run two instances of bfgminer each with its own config or can I put in the config to use two login information?

This is the hub I recommend. http://www.amazon.com/Superbpag-Portable-Charger-Transfer-Samsung/dp/B013OK10YM/ref=pd_sim_sbs_147_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=41LaxmqTREL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=0FW4KH14FP92J3MHA2XF

It has an internal really well constructed Powersupply, and is the only hub I found that can handle all 7 ports running full speed. The on you linked probably has an external crappy brick PSU which is probably not good enough.

For the "Sick" issue it probably means you have the difficulty set too high...so it takes forever for the stick to submit a share, so bfgminer "thinks" its sick. Remember these are low powered devices and most pools think you are connecting high speed ASICs to them and have stock high difficulties. Make sure you are using vardiff with low initial diff, or forcing a diff of under 100.

16 diff per stick is a good starting point. This will give a share every second or so.

you may have to plug your usb3 hub into a usb2 hub to get it to work.


crap, sadly my laptop doesnt have any USB 2.0 ports.
i said a hub, not ports.

They are fun to play with and figure out the quirks as well as a lottery ticket.


which coins i can mine with this scrypt miner?
more than ltc or doge?

scrypt is also x11 as example - correct?

scrypt and x11 are different algorithms..this mines only scrypt coins.

Hmmmh, thanks.
But scrypt is not profitable Sad

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 Wink

Hmm, I wonder what the chances are of recouping the ~$30 off one though. I guess it's cheap enough that even if you don't, you aren't out a lot.

Can I ask jstefanop which USB hub you have tested with and where do I get one?

I've tested with the [url]http://www.eyeboot.com/19-port-dipo-electronic-USB-Hub?search=Hub/[url] and used a bridge I have for two ports power to one stick. I get the weird multiple miners found on the RPi and Cubie while on the PC it fades away after a few mins.
I've run 16 HexFuries on this hub at the same time.
I'm not sure it's a power issue.
I also tested with a powered Orico USB 3.0 hub same results all systems.

Software and instructions are up here: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=28691.0

At the very least please download bfgminer and make sure it runs on your system before you get your stick so I can help with resolving any software issues. It should start up and go to the "add device" screen.

Any way to find out about software and instructions somewhere else as litecointalk is down Sad

Instructions have been transferred over to the second post of this thread here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.12967980

What software are you using that displays the temperature of each MoonLander? That would be so much easier than breaking out my infrared thermometer a couple times a day.  Tongue

temps are 0. the usb doesnt have a temp sensor.


My bad, thought it was a min/max.
