This is normal, even on my test setup I have to restart them once in a while if your running multiple sticks. Not much you can do about it unless your hubs are really good. Have you turned down your voltage from stock setting since your running 600 MHz it looks like? Also try raising your memory voltage a bit and see if that helps with stability.

Im working on driver update that will auto-restart them once it detects it has stopped hashing. bfgminer is supposed to do this already, but its sick/dead/restart code is buggy.

Looks like you're using the wrong algorithm.  Are you using the -S flag?  The included batch file from jstepanop's github has the necessary commands you can leverage off of.  All you need to do is fill in your wallet and the pool.

edit:  Also looks like you're using the wrong bfgminer.  The default folder name for jstepanop's bfg fork includes "futurebit" in the path.

I think I made progress. What's my next step? (I've never felt so helpless...)

Hi,

I have received my shipment of 4 sticks. But the fan doesnt run on all the sticks after plugging in. As a result of this, it gets overheated. Can someone please help me in resolving the issue.

I have followed your steps and also ran the update codes that RdStrckInd had mentioned on page 2.  Everything went well up until the last step (running moonlander2.sh) it is saying there is an error loading the shared library, which doesn't make sense to me because I was able to locate the file and edit it in the previous step.  Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

so you need the a foolproof copy n paste "just get it to work" description?

i'll write a short version for you that is most probably not perfect - but will most probably work.


Login to your raspberry pi with putty. (if this already is a problem - let me know). - you can as well login locally if you got keyboard and screen attached!

install neccesary library files (thanks to jstefanop for providing this info)


 this will create a directory in your home directory for bfgminer.
now you are in the new folder with the name "miner"

this will download the precompiled (ready to run) bfgminer from jstefanop.

now lets unpack this tar.gz file - this is a zipped tarball (something like a .zip file in windows - atleast similar)

now theres running lots of text of the files being unpacked into a folder.

lets go into the new unpacked folder!

here is the complete bfgminer including a short startup script from jstefanop.

now you can either edit the existing start script by using editor of your choice - i am using nano.
and change the pool, the username (after -u) the password (after -p) and save the file again
or depending on keyboard layout.

now thats its saved - quit the editor.
or
you are ready to do a test run!
now bfgminer will start (hopefully).

if you dont want to edit existing config you can as well try this:
in this line you change the pool - the username - the password option.
this will create a new file called "startmoonlander.sh" with your options - which can be modified later.

this file cant be used right now cause it is not executable. lets change that!

and now you can try your new startup script!

if you encounter any errors - describe them as good as possible or show us a screenshot and i bet - we will find a solution!

Greetings - Astrali

Had this issue will try your fix.

But for now I am solo mining.  you do not have to solo mine with this pool  but WTF  why not?

Nicehash works fine, you need to use the following URL for it to work.

stratum+tcp://scrypt.usa.nicehash.com:3333/#skipcbcheck#xnsub

i.e. add "#skipcbcheck#xnsub" at the end of the URL.

Keep in mind Nicehash's default diff seems to be 256k...this will take hours before you submit a share, and unfortunately most pools are setup to adjust vardiff AFTER the first share. Ill try and contact them to see what can be done.

just copy the bfgminer to the minera custom folder.. it needs to be renamed to bfgminer-futurebit2

Hello,
 I will preface the following statement by saying that I am a 100% newbie to mining and know just about enough about computers to make myself dangerous, but also know that I'm a Hands On type learner and must dive in and try things.  So on to my question:

    I got my 4 Moonlander2s in the mail last week and hadn't had much of a chance to toy with them until today.   I followed the set up instructions, downloaded the drivers and other software and got them up and running in no time flat.  I ran them for about 15 mins and they were all hashing like crazy, it was then I realized that there was one very important step left out of the set up, at least for noobs like me;  Where and how does one edit the file to insert our own personal user name, password, and wallet address for the distribution of the his/her share of the block reward? 

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to point me in the right direction.

Steve
