I have no problem with the fans, they make the sound a fan makes, nothing extreme. Did no mods on the miners.

Is someone here willing to help out this new set up his new moonlander stick?

Arent you guys worried about heat? Even at 600 the cooling thing at the bottom gets pretty hot no?

Running smooth on raspberry pi and two rosewill usb hubs (some oldies used with block erupters )

Some guy made a Crypto Christmas Tree using a whole bunch of Moonlander 2 USB miners

Anyone have a good solution on Windows to just kill bfgminer and restart from bat file every 30 or 60 minutes?

I've adjusted the core voltage multiple times but still nothing. Here's what I'm getting on the BFGminer. When it boots up, it flashes red for a few seconds and then stops. Green stays steady the whole time. After a while the yellow flashes occasionally. I've installed drivers according to the website, again this miner worked initially. I've deleted and reinstalled BFGminer, which it seems to keep all old URLs and settings for some reason, I cant get it to start clean. I've switched pools and restarted through BFGminer, no go either.

UPDATE 1, I switched to another USB drive and now it's back to where it was in the beginning. I'm still having an issue where it stops working on a difficulty change, picture below. Not sure if BFGminer is the issue or the miner.

UPDATE 2

I finally have it stable on LTC with Mining-Dutch. The moment I change to another coin (still scrypt) it has problems when it hits a difficulty change. Essentially stops, flashed yellow and despite my best efforts won't restart until BFGminer is completely restarted. Changing pools does not help.

Any suggestions?

Also, still looking for help on BFGminer starting with wrong URLs. I'm still using the info below:
#!/bin/sh
cd -- "$(dirname "$0")"
cd bin
./bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://mining-dutch.nl:3322 -u JustAnotherPLT.2 -p d=128 -S MLD:all --set MLD:clock=600

Seems to be working here.

Sounds like your Mac's USB port is cutting power. Ive seen this on my Mac as well if the stick tries to pull more than 1-1.5 amps. Try lowering core voltage, stock voltage is too high if your only running 600 mhz.

Both are same. I bet litecoinpool shows you 4,800 kH/s (note it's not a dot but comma). Check the chart page, there is hashrate in MH/s

Hey guys, I got my moonlander running pretty nicely 832 clock speed, voltages tweaked, and error rate under 1%.

Question about the hashrate.  bfgminer reports ~4.8mh/s, but litecoinpool shows ~4.8kh.  thats a big difference, which one is correct?  Seems like someone misplaced a decimal.

I don't think 750 is an option...

"Please note that this version of the miner has a fixed list of frequencies available to use below.
List of available frequencies: 384, 450, 480, 540, 576, 600, 612, 625, 636, 648, 660, 672, 684, 700, 720, 744, 756, 768, 796, 832, 852, 876, 900, 924, 954"

Or just use vnc - it's installed by default on with Raspian, you just have to enable it. You can even control your Pi remotely with it.

Hello,

My miner doesn't run for more than 5 minutes until it gets hung up and blinks the yellow light occasionally (stock settings). I'm running BFGminer 5.4-FutureBit2 for Mac on OSX 10.13.2 Beta. I see it happen whenever there's a difficulty change but not sure if its coincidence. I've tried changing from Mining-Dutch to Prohashing and still having problems with the miner working. I guess I get confused as it works fine initially then gets hung up. I also thought maybe a cooling issue but again, playing with the settings didn't change the problem.




As for a different topic, I'm noticing every time I start BFGminer its pulling up URLs that I've used in the past. How do I clean out BFGminer to stop bringing up previous work. I want a clean slate at each boot up with only 1 URL that is defaults to. I've edited the start-moonlander-2 to read this:

#!/bin/sh
cd -- "$(dirname "$0")"
cd bin
./bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://mining-dutch.nl:3322 -u JustAnotherPLT.2 -p d=128 -S MLD:all --set MLD:clock=600

Its still loading with multiple URLs.

Note that the only reliable hashrate is from bfgminer, not from your pool. The hashrate really depends only on the clockfrequency, barring any dead cores. See first page of this thread. I use 795Mhz and get 4.5-4.7Mh/s steady. The only thing I know I need to tweak is to up the memory voltage, also per page 1. They are a bit too unstable, they stop hashing about once a day.

Core voltage is used to tweak power consumption, Mem voltage to keep it stable. It won't go slower or faster.

I got my units straight from jstephanop, nicely anti-static bubble wrapped, pristine condition I would say. I ordered a new pack from him (via ebay), mostly to support this great work. 

1 arrived with a bent fan casing, clipped the piece off and its loud, but oh well. Found a similar sunon fan to replace the GSD fan with. Trying different overclock settings in the .bat file. For now --set MLD:clock=750 on a 2amp each port hub I found on amazon. 3.5Mh/s so far, probably time to adjust the hardware next. 

same here, litecoinpool.org seems to work with no problems; hash to coins doesnt really work well.
When my other two will arrive it's time to setup the Pi system

Right, that's basically what I'm doing, but the miner almost immediately gets SICK, and I never find any blocks. Maybe I'll see about setting up stratum pool or something, because the miners don't seem to work very well with prohashing either.

Doh!  Sometimes I'll have a good run and they'll go for like 2 days or so before slowing down, but more often than not it's just a couple hours.   

I'm currently running 24 of them on two sipolar A-223's on a windows 10 machine.  I chose that particular hub because it had an integrated 200w power supply, seems to be pretty good.  Eventually I want to move these over to a rpi and use Minera, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
