The .bat file works and does not cause problems (type: pool dead). In addition, the error with pool death gives it many times, the only thing that scares me and that in the processing entries appears between: accepted, stratum:

- Coinbase check: multiple inputs in coinbase: 0x7d

I tried to install the last relase of bfgminer again, but again these disturbing processing lines !!!

It's been happening for a while:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.26464966

Try the setting #skipcbcheck as suggested in the posts earlier in the thread.
That *should* clear up the issue.

What coin are you mining and where?

The pool might be rejecting you for a bad user / password.

Try running this:

Code:

bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.unknownminingpool.com:5395 -u DEbDyBJPuWwc251q3vk28aT95zcMGJtS8g -p c=DFC  -S MLD:all --set MLD:clock=660

and see if it works. It's a copy / paste of something I have running and know works.

Also, when possible do not post images through bayimg.com Malwarebytes blocks it as do SonicWalls and some other security devices.

Stay safe.

I was wondering if it's normal .. or is it a virus inside the bfgminer software?

does it look like something Coinbase?

There is no virus in the “official” version of bfgminer - unless you download it from some other “unofficial” locations.

When it says all pools dead - it means either the pool’s belly has gone down or your own local network is the issue.

Is there a warranty on the Moonlander 2 devices? I just bought mine about 2 months ago, and I think one of them is already starting to go out. I run it stock, and don't overclock it, if that matters.

Thanks!

Doctor’s 1st quesion: what symptom/s you’re experiencing?

These little toys should last forever unless someone hammers them - - except its fan which sometimes makes noise but you can use a small screw driver and tight or loose them - just a bit.

Would love to see maybe an update for the Moonlanders software. I love these little sticks, and would like to be able to use them all on one powered USB hub. As it is, I have two on the hub, and one on a laptop...but I would rather run them all on the RPi4.

because bfgminer kept closing on me using a pi, I moved my 8 ML2s/with powered hubs to a laptop. working fine except one thing.

using the bfgminer-5.4.2-futurebit2-win64.zip and -S ALL --set MLD:clock=600 standard settings. I have 0-8 showing up in bfgminer.
So trying to figure out why it's seeing a 9th device. I checked my COMs in device manager and only have 8 listed

so a follow up
I changed my .bat on windows to call out each COM so -S COM4 -S COM5 etc.... --set MLD:clock=600, which helped get rid of that weird 9device that was showing up in bfgminer

I'm still having a problem where after a certain amount of time my moonlanders start to fail and say
FutureBit Write error: No space left on device

close the bfgminer, restart the window and it's works fine again for a random amount of time.

I would also love to see some update drivers for my Pi 4. I'm running the Pi as a full Litecoin node, and as a Miner for 3 Moonlander 2 units. I'm constantly having to restart them because one will just spontaneously drop out of mining...it's a real pain. I am using a powered (36W) USB 3.0 hub (Amazonbasics brand).

Also, I did not compile anything on the Raspberry Pi. I used only the downloads provided by Futurebit and whatever is built into the Raspberry Pi kernel.

Thanks!

"Very Much appreciate it! (dmesg | grep tty | awk '/cp210x/ {print $NF}' | tail -n1) is this symbol "|" suppose to represent anything in the command line"

Yes, the "|" symbol is meaningful. It's called a pipe and it directs output from one command or process to the next item on the command line.

On my keyboard it's shown as two short vertical bars one above the other on the same key as the backslash.

Does anyone know if BFGminer for Raspberry pi has been updated yet to include auto-restart?

I don't think I ever updated those binaries since most people self-compile on pi's. I'll get around to pushing an updated release for these with some fixes after im done with the full node update for the Apollo.

Any updates on this? I would like to move a few Moonlanders on a pi off site but I can't be there to restart them all the time. Also, I was never able to figure out how to get BFGminer to start and run automatically when the pi starts. Can anyone help with this?

I’ve got 10 Moonlander 2 currently on litecoinpool. Those of you who own more than 1, do you run them under 1 worker or multiple?

Are you running these on a hub. Certain huns are notorious for not working on pis. Try plugging in directly to USB port and see if it shows up.

I hate to be constantly asking questions and it seems like im taking the easy way out but i keep running into road blocks and i spend hours trying to make it work before asking on here. When i start the command ./start_moonlander2.sh it takes me to the mining screen and there 2 things happen. Either it doesnt find any devices on my powered usb hub or i get this message futurebit write error input/output error. I am so lost on why these 4 moonlanders arent showing up as a device

So, you may need to figure out where the Moonlander is connected, then declare it. I just got into this, and if you are not used to to the terminal it can be frustrating. I wrote this so it will do the work for you in Linux (if you are on a Raspberry Pi).

export MoonlanderDEV=$(dmesg | grep tty | awk '/cp210x/ {print $NF}' | tail -n1)
echo $MoonlanderDEV
./bfgminer --scrypt -S /dev/$MoonlanderDEV --set MLD:clock=600 -o stratum+tcp://scrypt.na.mine.zpool.ca:3433/#skipcbcheck -u -p c=,sd=128

if you run "dmesg | grep tty" it will return the plug/unplug events and state where the device "mounts". Awk then searches and prints only the appropriate line (something to the effect of "ttyUSB0"). Tail only prints the last time it was done. I set that as an environmental variable, then run the bfgminer based on that.

(I only do this because I also have a Gekko Newpac and the two do not play well together unless you specify the ports)

I hope this helps!

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me. I was getting frustrated because no matter what i tried or looked for on the internet did not work :/ The code that you have me enter, when do i enter that? after i run the whole BFGminer setup?

You need to have a working bfgminer program first (so download and untar the one from the futurebit website). Then cd to that directory "cd bfgminer". Then run the three commands one at a time. (the echo is not really necessary, but I like to see that the script is working, so it should return something like ttyUSB0). Then the following line will actually start the mining, so you don't use the StartMoonlander.sh anymore.

TL;DR. Enter it in the same directory as the bfgminer program.

Best of luck!

Very Much appreciate it! (dmesg | grep tty | awk '/cp210x/ {print $NF}' | tail -n1) is this symbol "|" suppose to represent anything in the command line

Your making this more complicated than it needs to be...all the script does is most likely put in /dev/ttyUSB0 next to the scan command so just cd into the folder and run this command and it should work

./bfgminer --scrypt -S /dev/ttyUSB0 --set MLD:clock=600 -o stratum+tcp://scrypt.na.mine.zpool.ca:3433/#skipcbcheck -u -p c=,sd=128

if that does not work then cd into /dev and ls...youll see what the right ttyUSB number is

im not trying to make this difficult im just trying to figure out things and ask questions my bad.
this is what it gives me when i search for usb the moonlanders do not show u
