Can someone give me steps how to set 2 MLD sticks mining verge and the rest mining Litecoin?
ScoobysportD, so what is your average Vcore voltage to run them that high?
I can not seem to get past 832 clock on both mine with a good PS and fans keeping the rear heat sink cool.
When I get to 852 I get too many hardware errors (30% or so). Vcore I have tried up to 8.2 but did not want to go any higher. I assume you are runing higher than that?
Thanks,
Bob
I just measured them:
2 run at 0.8vcore, 1 on 0.82. Not bad for eyeballing it with such sensitive pot's! This close up is of the one running at 0.82 and this one draws the highest amps of the 3 i have now. This should give everybody an idea/starting point on how to set vcore and memclock.

They've been running basically for 4 days straight now with low error rates as you can see in my previous posts.

The one sticking upwards just had a spike on this pic, up to 2.55amp. Besides that, it runs on 2.20-2.35 amp just like the other two, which also every now and then have a quick spike in amp draw but then immediately turn back down to 2.20-2.35. It seems to happen more when they run warm/hot. (one of the fans still is not functioning properly, and it's the one that was supposed to cool the one MLD thats sticking out upwards.)
That's good to see. At least we know they can do more than the 2.1 amps per port they are rated for. I just hope it lasts.Can you link your fans?
You bet!

ps; damn it took me long enough to put 1+1 together haha, Finless Bob
Pleasure discussing these things with an android mod legend 
Got in a multimeter todat, will try to get some readings tomorrow! My guesstimate would be around .85-.87
Thanks! Will be interesting to compare notes.... I have just been too timid to go up in voltage much more. But now that I have some nice brushless USB fans, I am ready to try

You have cranked up the voltage of the vcore to get to 768? Or have not done anything with core voltage yet?
This is the usb voltmeter i have:

As you're dutch too, that one is shipped same day
your 36watt hub should provide enough power for 2 MLD's... Maybe try separating the MLD's a bit more, in case that hub uses dc-dc converters in a setup like the sipolar hub?

not yet I need to get a battery for my multimeter, lent it to a mate and he left it on.. typical.
I'm British
they had them in Maplin a little while ago and as they're having a closing down sale I'll check thereI'll give that a go, I've got one in the first port and one in the fifth at the moment I'll switch 5-10 and see what happens
let us know what happens when you switch the MLD vs usb ports.ScoobysportD, so what is your average Vcore voltage to run them that high?

I got in the 2 additional USB voltmeters today, so the MLD's had a quick 1 minute break after 3 full days of mining at 900mhz:
With the 3 voltmeters attached, the one that says 'full"(and with long runtime on it) is the one i already had installed. The others are new.
Amps stay around 2.18-2.35 while running at 900mhz

And that's off the two end ports 5 and 10 that share one buck converter?
And the one that sticks out upwards has it's own converter.
I just took another pic, on which they've had the chance to run for a while:

I should really get one or 2 of those
managed to get 3 going at 768 but the 2 in the 36w wont go past 700 without just producing hardware errors or failing to start
I've ordered your recommended hub at ali express but chose a faster delivery option, watch me get import tax
probably order a few more of these in a few days and make better use of itThis is the usb voltmeter i have:

All up and running, Odroid XU4 works fine with the compiled arm v6 binary absolute breeze to set up haven't started playing with settings yet gonna leave them for 24 hours see how they do beforehand.
...
Got 3 units plugged into a 7 port 60w and 2 plugged into the 10 port 36w, so they should all have enough power. It's a bit messy, I'll need to order a hub that can run all 5 maybe 10 soon.
Good! absolute breeze to set up haven't started playing with settings yet gonna leave them for 24 hours see how they do beforehand....

You're running them at 600mhz now? The HW/errors usually go down a little bit over time
Which pool are you using and what coin are you mining? Which hubs are you using now?
yea just at 600mhz they've been running fine all night at an average of 3.3mh with around 1% hardware errors.
I'm over at miningdutch atm I was on there multiport but switched to netcoin (low diff pos) it was bouncing around too much on the multipool port but looking at my script I didn't set a difficulty so i'll try there again later.
Probably a dumb question but with difficulty is it best to combine the hashrates of the sticks(15mh+) and set a higher difficulty or use the individual hashrate(3.3mh+)?
I'm using an Orico 10 port 36w for 2 of them, this one I'll definitely replace due to size, vibration and low power but it'll do for a while after that I can use it on my desktop
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00KBT8DUY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A103TZ89DUFDUW&psc=1
and a pluggable 7 port 60w which has 3 in
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Plugable-SuperSpeed-Charging-Adapter-Support/dp/B00RNFY8HQ
the real test on whether the hubs will do for now will come when I start changing settings and they pull more juice
I've still yet to figure out how to set a "failover" pool . .I did a bit of googling and found a thread talking about setting up the BAT file a certain way?
bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://lycheebit.com:3433 -u iZBPmJNw6Mog42k8P9zvPtYkTwcU1gRir4 -p c=IC,d=128 --failover-only -o stratum+tcp://stratum.miningpool.shop:20004 iZBPmJNw6Mog42k8P9zvPtYkTwcU1gRir4 -p c=IC,d=128 -S MLD:all --set MLD:clock=832 pause
Mr. Stfano? Can you assist in this matter for a failover pool? POr is there an internat setting in BFG miner?

switched pools, reduced hardware errors and rejects quite drastically

You can see the board here on Amazon; https://www.amazon.com/Sipolar-Desktop-Charging-Station-Charger/dp/B01K4MZQJ8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1521590644&sr=8-1&keywords=sipolar+a-400
If you look at the coils for the DC to DC converters you can see the five converters. I would not think they can take much more than the rated current but you can try.
The next step up is the Sipolar hubs with the built-in power supplies. Here is the 20 port 20 amp A213 model; https://www.amazon.com/Sipolar-Refreshment-Charging-Mounting-Brackets/dp/B01K4JKCYK/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1521591094&sr=1-3&keywords=sipolar+a-213
Looking at its board there or no converters on the board meaning that the built-in power supply is probably 5 volts so you can use any combination of ports. This is the 40 amp version; https://www.amazon.com/Sipolar-Industrial-Charger-Refurbish-Cellphone/dp/B01KPOEX9O/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1521591380&sr=1-2&keywords=sipolar+a-223
Which should give you plenty of power on all the ports but I don't think you can physically fit 20 MoonLanders on it.
The way i got mine running now is using ports 5+10 and port 9. So they are already connected to 1 converter with ports 5+10 and run great.
In regards to the maximum output of the power supply, i already was planning to plug in 8 MLD's maximum so i won't push the supply to far. (8x12=96 watts)
Once i have the extra MLD's in (shipping takes quite long from Bitshopper unfortunately.. they said 2-4 days but all together it's nearly 2 weeks before i'll have them) i can put the hub to the test and i'll let you guys know.
I just order 2 extra USB voltmeters... What can i say, i like tinkering and patience is not my strong side
What am i missing here?
zpool has too high worker diff for these to work.. they just time out.Thanks for your answer. So do i understand this right, even if i throw 12 (like i do) or 1200 MLDs at zpool, they won't get any work?
they'll get work but I'd imagine they'd be highly unlikely to find a share in time
use a pool with a lower difficulty or one where you can set a static difficulty there's a few about
