I got the moonlander running on a pi but the pool hasrate is showing 30-40H/s, not a typo that is hash per second.
These are p2p pools and I tried with 2 different pools and two different moonlanders.
Locally it is hashing at around 3.3MH/s 0.5% HW errors and the terminal window shows "something" accepted every 10 seconds or so.
If I plug in my old gridseed in the same set up it shows on the pools the correct 350kH/s.
USB voltage if fine.

Another issue is if I try with a MAC (El Capitan) all I get is:

Code:

The MAC was just to test if I had the same low hash issues as with the pi.
I need it to work with the pi.

Also I wish this moonlander had a proper +5V connection(soldering tab) so I could connect a powerful PSU directly to them rather than bottlenecking the power though a hub.
The cost for such hubs that also transfer data is ridiculous.
Does anybody know a hack to separate the logic 5V from the moonlander's power or would it work if I just lift up the 5V tab from the USB socket on the moonlander and solder my 5V directly onto PCB?  Maybe a ceramic capacitor over the tab and the 5V for AC reference.



Sounds like a pool formatting issue. If its showing 3-4 MH locally and 30-40 H/s on the pool I would assume they got their display number off by some factor. Mac issue is explain in the first post of this thread. Nothing below 10.12 is supported.

Then why does my gridseed show the correct hashrate on the pools?
As said I tried two different pools.

Perhaps it would be helpful if you ACTUALLY mentioned in the OP that ONLY MacOS 10.12 (and 10.13 with disabled SIP) is supported.
