Hmm. Been running no issues for a long time and today as I walk away from my computer, bfgminer says moonlander2 stopped hashing trying to restart on loop. Shut down bfg checked the moonlander. Green light is still on. Weird. Restart bfg and says no device. K. Shut down bfg, unplug USB strip, unplug miner, give it a good blast of air, all clean , plug it all back in, restart bfg and blam no miner. So did it just die? Green light is on but nada. Thing doesn't even run hot as I have 2 fans on it and it's fall weather. Basically was mining all night and up until a about 30 minutes ago.

Windows do any updates? Make sure the moonlander shows up in the COM port...sometimes updates kill the UART driver and needs to be re-installed.


No updates unless they went covert on me. I was just using the computer and all was well. I check bfg all the time because sometimes multipool dgb goes down and I like to switch asap. Anyways. It was running fine then it said moonlander stopped hashing trying to restart. Couldn't manually add it either.


I guess this is dead. Sad. First the fan died within a few weeks from a bad bearing and now after maybe a year, not sure, of on average 10 hours of running a day plus 2 fans on it, it stops hashing. Litecoin plus digibyte mined means that I lost at least 60 bucks not counting electricity or the purchase of external fans. Fun while it lasted but dang disappointed. And I was just going to go for an Apollo too. Miss the white noise too haha.
