I've been having trouble with the miner's reliability...
So far, I haven't been able to keep it going for more than 4 hours.
In this forum the two explanations I've been able to gather are that either the power supply is too low, or the memory voltage is too low. I'm fairly sure the power is enough, because the miner starts (correct me if that is a wrong conclusion), and even though I've tinkered with the memory voltage it doesn't seem to make a difference. Not only does it not last, but it doesn't last in an unpredictable way - it can last anywhere from 30mins to 4hrs.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Hi I have am having exactly the same issues with my 4 moonlanders, externally powered is polar hub 2.5 amps per port. Tried all versions of changing core and memory voltages, but runs for short time 20 mins- 2 hours and then hash rates crash and the HW errors jump,did you ever find an answer for this.
Thanks
Solution I found was to write a script to restart every hour. Had something to do with a memory buffer, but that was on raspberry's. Not sure how it could equally affect a larger computer.
Just an update still having the same issues. My hub is Sipolar 10 Port USB Professional Mining Hub 10.5W per Port 21A @ 5V 120W, so not a power issue. As suggested above I got a restart scrypt for running on windows, your welcome to give it a go and see if it works. Just copy and put in your own mining site, your wallet address and your password. Then copy, open notepad and paste in, then save as .bat file and place in your mining software folder. Double click to start. Two windows will open one with the miner stats, one a command prompt window which will have your countdown to restart. You can set how long you want the moonlanders to run before restart (time in seconds) in the set runforseconds= and you can set how long the moonlanders should take to start hashing again in seconds in, set restartinseconds=1 . So in the example below mine run for twelve and a half minutes, then restart after 1 second and repeat ad infinitum. Not ideal as would be better to be able to fix the problem but will get you going. Good luck.
