Not trying to be crazy here but your last message October 23rd said you were sending me a new moonlander back. I haven't heard a reply from you since or received any miner. I've messaged you multiple times. What is up? Cause I could have saved the 20 bucks it cost to ship it to you and just chucked it in the bin thinking I made a silly noob mistake buying a miner. If you're sending it please let me know. If you aren't please let me know so I can close the messages tab I've had open for 2 months refreshing waiting for a response.

hi all,
I have a question, I'm newbie and I have, I think a little problem with my ML2 usb stick when I plug (on my laptop, not usb hub) and start the
fan does not activate... and in the pool I lose mhs as time goes by. it's comes from power ?

THE FAN SHOULD SPIN--
Even in a USB 2.0 port, the fan should spin. Without it, the ASIC may become damaged. Is the fan plugged in to the micro-molex? Are the fan wires damaged? Is there a particle interfering with the fan blades? Check the close-up photos in the beginning of thread. --scryptr

https://ibb.co/efdE8e
the fan connector mounted correctly?
Try unscrewing the fan and seeing if it spins when you plug it in...could be that it was tighten too much and was stuck. Either way if you ran it for a lengthy time without the fan running you have most likely damaged the ASIC beyond repair.
Sent you a pm. Thanks for everything.
Did you get my pm?

Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread
SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR MOONLANDER--
Did you do any adjustments to the Core voltage pot? I just got my MLD and have not touched the voltage pots. It does OK on 700Hz frequency on stock settings but hardware errors get big at 720Hz.
Just asking before I touch the pots. I am going steady at 3.9 MH/s at stock settings, 700Hz frequency. I am running a single stick on a USB 3.0 port of the PC, running Ubuntu 18.04.
Thanks for any help. --scryptr
P.S. Looks like a piece of Astroturf was pitched in the trash. Good riddance! (spam post was deleted). -scryptr

Never touched the pots. Just ran it as usual in a powered USB strip. I'm just super unlucky. Mine screamed like a banshee after a few weeks I couldn't stand it and removed the fan. Then added 2 external fans. It ran cooler that way and much more stable. Then it decided it was done hashing. Le sigh.
Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread
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.

Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread
Code:
bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://eu.multipool.us:3351 -u Moonlander2.1 -p x,d=256 -S MLD:all --set MLD:clock=796
pause
pause
Ok so i have it running on litecoinpool and on multipool. Works but i run into the same error. After a while it just stops hashing. If i restart bfg then it works like a champ again.
So can someone help me. Is there a way to set bfgminer up to auto restart after an hour. yea I know its not perfect but at this point i just want the dang thing to run nearly 24 hours. I hate waking up to find it pooped out after 30 minutes and sat idle 6 hours. Is there a way to add a piece to this scrypt that will make it auto restart after an hour? Since I have no clue why it keeps stopping. And before we trouble shoot again just assume its all running on the right stuff. yes powered hub. yes 100mbps connection which is stable. Yes way more than adequate cooling. This thing will run 30 minutes and stop or 32 hours and stop. No rhyme or reason i see. If there is a code to auto restart after an hour that would be gold. Any help?
Any ideas?
Have you tried lowering the frequency to 6xx to see if it runs better? Do you have tools to check how many volts, amps, and watts are being used? Do you have a heat gun to measure temp on the ASIC?
In Windows, you could forcefully kill the bfgminer using a free tool called pskill:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/pskill
https://ss64.com/nt/timeout.html
You can use a batch file where you loop bfgminer on, wait 1 hr, bfgminer kill
So, something like this:
bfgminer_restart.bat -- the first line should launch bfgminer.exe in its own window, second line waits one hour, third line kills bfgminer, fourth line restarts the loop
Code:
:top
START /b CMD /c "bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://eu.multipool.us:3351 -u Moonlander2.1 -p x,d=256 -S MLD:all --set MLD:clock=796"
timeout 3600
pskill bfgminer.exe
goto top
START /b CMD /c "bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://eu.multipool.us:3351 -u Moonlander2.1 -p x,d=256 -S MLD:all --set MLD:clock=796"

This depends on whats going on with your setup. First are you running the latest bfgminer binaries I release that have auto-restart built into the miner? Sounds like your not since restarting bfgminer pretty much does what I already do in the new driver release automatically.
i have 5.4.2. isnt that the newest one? i see no restart timer

I'll try updating as jstefanop says. If that doesn't work I'll try your method. The USB miner is still stock. Never messed with anything. Only removed the bad fan.

Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread
Hmm let it go all night. Looks like it worked just doesn't smash out the accepted shares as fast as on the litecoinpool. Guess I expected it to be faster. And it successfully mined some sia, doge and dgb. Didn't expect it to switch coins but that's fine too I guess.
The rate accepted shares has nothing to do with how "fast" its mining. Its simply the difficulty the pool has set the shares too. Higher diff, less accepted shares, which is what pools want since their servers would be overloaded if everyone mined low diff shares. Higher shares have more "value" so you mine more litecoin.
Most pools use vardiff, so accepted shares are averaged to around 1 share per minute, regardless of wether you mining with a Moonlander or an L3+.
yeah but some pools like zpool have the verdiff set so high it times out and then you are actually NOT mining..
Yea, in those cases just shoot an email to the pool and ask for a low diff port for USB Asics. I know miningpoolhub already lowered the diff for us, and I'm sure other pools would too if enough requests are sent.
What diff would you recommend setting at the highest point for the stick?
Most pools wont set diff anything lower than 4k-8k these days, if you can convince them to set it to at least 512 or 1024 thats enough for a moonlander to send a share every minute or so.

Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread
all registered and apparently some of my coins registered. miner is unstable at these levels though. It disconnected shortly afterwards. Any suggestions on how to edit the script to make it run more stable?
Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread
Ok what did I do wrong for the multipool setup? Pointed it at the dgb scrypt stratum. Added in my username and password then nothing. wouldn't run.
Added the .1 to my username and it started running.
any help would be swell. Really. Back on litecoinpool till i can get this dgb working.

Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread
Has anyone set these up for digibyte dgb? Can you help me set up a scrypt for the miner? I'm really terrible at it. Figure I can let it make like 16 coins a week and hope it goes big in the future. Would love to solo mine but if a pool is the way to go that's cool too. Just looking for the best rewards.
DGB has allready gone big mate, i was mining em years ago for pittance unfortunatley left my bag at 95 sats on an exchange
you live you learn.you would need a pool but would likely be better off mining something else and trading that in for DGB or use a multipool that will payout DGB.
all you'd need to do is edit the launch scrypt that comes with the program replace the pool and user details and you're good to go
Any recommendations on a pool? I was hoping to be able to collect part of the block reward if ever found. Gotta be easier than the litecoin it's been mining for months. It's only managed 0.03 litecoin so far haha.
