Is it just me or is anyone else having issues connecting?
same here!
Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread
Has anyone figured out a good way to single out a problematic miner in an array of miners? I rather not have to run them all individually to find the problem child.
how is one a problem? you can usually tell if one jammed up by looking at the red light..
I got a couple miners that will slow down to 2 MH, so the red light will still blink.
I think this is not the stick issue (rather pool issue). Which pool you are using?
I face the same problem when tried to rent them on miningrentals. When were not rented (and mined on my specific pool - litecoinpool.org) everything was fine ... but once someone rent them the hashrate started slowly dropping to less than 1MHs ... I had to restart them few times.
I'm mining on litecoinpool.org. The sticks will mine just fine for a few hours then they'll slow down to 2MH or so.
I use litecoinpool.org and it seems ok with me - Been running for nearly a week with no issues (getting a constant 4.44Mh/s) and this is my setup:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2455609.msg25653813#msg25653813
What setup do you have? hub / os / etc ?
same here, litecoinpool.org seems to work with no problems; hash to coins doesnt really work well.
When my other two will arrive it's time to setup the Pi system
Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread
wondering what the
Code:
pause
exit
doesexit
Pause - Puts a message on the screen saying "Press any key to continue..." and halts the program until a key is pressed. If something crashes in one of the previous lines, this helps you read what it is. Otherwise, it'd just close and you wouldn't know what to do.
Exit - Closes the program. Makes it stop running and go away.
aah yes, thanks! is there also a command to have it restart when the hashrate goes down or there are too many stales/problems?
Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread
I have found a fix for most users that are experiencing issues with the miners just stopping!
if you use the conf file and you add more than 1 pool the miners will all stop when network difficulty information is gathered from the other pools.
Fix: set 1 pool in your conf and remove the pool from the cmd/bat file, if you leave the same pool in the cmd/bat file it still treats it like having 2 pools.
my bat file:
bfgminer.exe --scrypt -S MLD:all
pause
exit
hope that helps!

I'm still newer to this...what exactly did you put in your .conf file? Can you post or PM me an example? TIA

Going to try this out this afternoon, thanks!
Maybe a bit offtopic, or not, but if i'd not specify the difficulty and just leave in password, will it use the default 8192 difficulty?
What would be pro and cons about using 8192 instead of the 512 you mention?
For now it's hashing 4.33 Mhs on 768 mhz
it will just take 16x as long on average to submit a share to your pool. On average you will be hashing at 4.33MH but if you look short term you'll see crazy swings from like 20MH down to .5MH on pool side.
This is the same reason some newer people think they are not working, because most pools have initial diffs set to 8k or higher for larger ASICS so takes forever to submit first share to pool(or 256k like nicehash had...guess we don't have to worry about them anymore
)Thanks for clearing that up! I'm currently in coinpool.nl and haven't had a single (afaik) stale one! Where hash to coins gave me lots of problems, errors, HW errors and the ML fell completely silent this pool seems to be working just fine.
I'm awaiting two more ML's and another 2 in february , you think around 20 mhs will be better in hash to coins?
I'd like to know if more people have the problem where you mine for a while but all it finds are stale shares. "submitting as pool requested"; it's mining at 4 Mhs.
After like 15 minutes it stops mining and does nothing else then to tell me that it's setting a new difficulty; mining at less than 500 khs.
Is something wrong?
I'm using the Moonlander 2.

Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread
I added the code at the end of the line and it seems to be discarding the stale ones, but right now the Moonlander is giving me lots of discarding messages after eachother and just 2.8 mhs instead of the 4 Mhs just 10 minutes ago.
Why is the mhs going down and why do i still get those messages? Gulden not the right coin?

It looks like you're running into the dreaded "stick died and didn't auto restart" problem.
Is the red light blinking on the stick?
It probably isn't.
You should restart the miner (either press
to quit and then rerun the startup script)
If it still doesn't blink the red light, pull the stick out and then plug it back in and restart the miner.
If it still doesn't work, your settings probably need to be adjusted. Check the "Tuning" section for details.
Still nothing
after 6-8 minutes it starts to go wrong:stale detected, discarding
and then: detects new block and immediatly sets another difficulty.
Mhs goes down to below 1. Red flashing stops.
It looks like a hash to coin problem because when i switch to coinpool i get no errors...
Could it be something with the difficulty or the pool itsself there?
Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread
I'm on hash to coins with var difficulty and getting a lot of pool 0 stale share detected submitting as user requested when mining Gulden
You should use --no-submit-stale
I'm mining tips because of the low difficulty. Try a different coin for a bit and see if that works better.

Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread
I've found that my stick was getting stuck constantly when I would use hash-to-coins but it wouldn't get stuck as often on mining-dutch.
I thought that was a clue and narrowed it down: the difficulty was too low on hash-to-coins! I upped the difficulty (actually, I just set it to vardiff) and it's been much happier.
It still will get stuck after an hour or so, but usually doing a " -> -> [Y]" (Settings -> Restart -> Yes) cycle would start it back up again.

Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread
awesome i received my first moonlander!
It's currently running at stock settings and mining around 3.40 Mhs.
Now i'd like to change the settings to the so called "sweet spot" and actually crank it up a bit to get closer to the 5Mhs. of this miner. How do i do that? Let's see if I understand:
in my .bat i will have to change the mhz to:
or go safer? or even more safer?
I can kinda leave the Core Voltage alone because the stock is .75 or should i twist it a bit to the left to get closer to the .76 / .82 ?
It's my first and i dont want to fry it!
ps getting a lot of "pool 0 stale share detected submitting as user requested"

Re: [Batch 2 Pre-Order] FutureBit Moonlander 2 Official Pre-order Thread
received my first moonlander today, from the first Bitshopper pre-order.
What a tiny cute little machine!! i dont even care if it doesnt make money , to have one is amazing.

Re: [Limited Batch 1 Stock] FutureBit Moonlander 2 Official Pre-order Thread
Looking forward to buying in for a few on the next batch!
OP has been updated for batch 2 sales starting tomorrow:
Batch 2 Pre-order will start December 6th at 12 PM EST. This batch is larger and more distributors have been added so anyone that didn't have a chance to pick up a pre-order last batch should be fine this time around.
bittawm has also been added as an Australian and New Zealand Distributor, and will be participating in the Batch 2 Pre-order. He has excellent seller reputation in that region, and has setup his site for the pre-order below (ill post his link before sales go live tomorrow, don't mind his "basic" site he threw this together quick to be able to process the pre-orders quickly).
https://bittawmart.com
yep just bought 2 more!
Re: [ANN] FutureBit Moonlander 2: The Most Powerful and Efficient USB Stick Miner!
When will pre order batch 2 start? Or can I somewhere buy that Miner all are out of stock.
I will make an announcement for batch 2 before they go on sale. Probably sometime next week.
also for bitshopper? should have bought 3 more instead of just 2 but hey..
can an European customer buy from asicpuppy and receive the assembled moonlander 2?
Yes all of them...they will all have plenty of batch 2 stock, and most regions of the world are covered (NA, Europe, Asia, and Aus/NZ). You should be only be ordering from the region closest to you.
allright thanks, i will wait when bitshopper has them in stock

Re: [Limited Batch 1 Stock] FutureBit Moonlander 2 Official Pre-order Thread
it took me over 10 minutes during a meeting to buy two landers from bitshopper.de on my phone. I had multiple errors and loading problems but in the end i managed to have 2 in my cart.
Re: [ANN] FutureBit Moonlander 2: The Most Powerful and Efficient USB Stick Miner!
can somebody tell me the sizes of the moonlander? I have this 4 port USB hub and i'd like to have 3 moonlanders on it but im afraid they wont fit... too wide.
I prefer cm's.
I prefer cm's.
Here's a picture of them in a 7 port hub - they take up approximately 3 spaces.
https://i.imgur.com/hb4b4vD.jpg
But mine is horizontal right now so i guess Philipma is right, 2 will fit but not 3. Guess i will buy that other port!
another question rises: if you have 2 usb hubs, can you hook them up on the Pi in it's 2 ports without problems?
