The sick and then fade out happens on whatever OS, hubs and setup I try.
Only solution I found is to have Minera restart the miners after two go offline for more then 10 mins.


AFAIK "sick" only means that it has spent too much time without bfgminer detecting a share
okay but then its probably a bfgminer specified problem cause i use to crunch with my intel I5  @ 4x 4,5 khashes with CPUMINER and my GTX720 @ 11khashes witch GUIMINER and thats way slower than the moonlander can do but there's no prob with the shares. I use wemineltc.com where 32 is the lowest selectable diff.
but sometimes it says that the moonlander is "sick" after less than 60 secs too. Mostly when I change the voltage over 0.760V. but then the bfgminer not even accept at least 1 share.

Try just leaving the miner running for a while and the sick might go away when a share is submitted
somethimes that happens, but sometimes not Sad
i'm afraid it's because of I don't use a proper USB hub. meanwhile the moonlander works fine from 104 to 144 mhz and next week I'll get one of those powerful hubs. but i'm from austria , here are not all of those hubs available. I'll buy 2 of them: Sabrent 60 Watt (12 Ampere) 10-Port- http://www.amazon.de/Sabrent-10-Port-Familie-gro%C3%9Fe-Schnellladeger%C3%A4t-Smart-USB-Ladeger%C3%A4t-AX-TPCS-W/dp/B019GB57R4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_2&smid=A1E3IQLEA4G42D

atm the red light is constantly on after ~ 1-2 hours of working. Does that mean overheat? the computer with the stick is located in my cellar where I have between 60 and 65° F (~16-18°C). I use a fan and the black cooler metal is very cold when i touch it so i hope/think it's no thermal problem  Undecided
