Re: [ANN] FutureBit MoonLander: A Modern and Efficient Scrypt USB Stick Miner!
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.
I am still having trouble with mine as well, not sure what I will have to do to get these things to not have a forced restart every so often.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
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

unfortunately probably nothing you can do..
its something in bfgminer.
i cant get these to work on the nicehash pool. bfgminer restarts because it thinks the network is timing out. it keeps saying its working on an old block over and over and over, probably because NH isnt mining litecoin.
i cant get these to work on ANY LTC pool that you cant really set the difficulty.. because bfgminer thinks they are "sick" if they dont send a share every 30 seconds or so.
litecoinpool.org works if you want to mine litecoin, so does ltc.tbdice.org if you want to try solo mining..
i havent gotten these to work on mining WDC or DGC or any other scrypt coin. they just dont work. times out.
i cant get all 8 to run at the same time.. almost always one drops off as soon as they start up and then one drops off one by one until they are all showing zero hash.. takes about an hour..
they do turn a profit on mining litecoin.. each stick will make about 7$ a year.. you may get lucky and litecoin will go back up in value.
