Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread

I want to mine two different coins (different workers on the same pool) at the same time.
I am running 8 MLDs on one Pi.
I have 4 MLDs running each on 2 hubs(which I intend to extend if I get this working).

For this reason I power down one hub and start BFG miner with the first coin I want to mine. It finds the 4 MLDs and starts hashing.
Then I power up the second hub of MLDs and run a second instance of BFG miner with the other coin. It finds the other 4 MLDs and starts mining.

However after a short time the speed of first instance drops down slowly (a couple of minutes) to 1Mh/s per MLD and lower. I shut down this instance and restart it and it is back to 3-4Mh/s per MLD but then the other instance starts to slow down and goes below 1Mh/s.
I can alway repeat this back and forth, the instance that was running before will always end up runnning slow.

I don't see any hardware errors (600 clock) or any other unusual activity.

Anybody have a fix for this or another way to mine two (or more) different coins on one system?


this has been coverred several times, stop switching the hubs on and off and create 2 different launch scripts.

Can someone give me steps how to set 2 MLD sticks mining verge and the rest mining Litecoin?

create 2 separate configs or launch scripts and specify which devices to use with:

-S MLD:/dev/ttyUSB0 -S MLD:/dev/ttyUSB1 ... and so on

make sure to remove the -S all

if you're on linux here's a scipt to find out the correct device numbers to use

Code:
#!/bin/bash

for sysdevpath in $(find /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb*/ -name dev); do
    (
        syspath="${sysdevpath%/dev}"
        devname="$(udevadm info -q name -p $syspath)"
        [[ "$devname" == "bus/"* ]] && continue
        eval "$(udevadm info -q property --export -p $syspath)"
        [[ -z "$ID_SERIAL" ]] && continue
        echo "/dev/$devname - $ID_SERIAL"
    )
done

edit: Im running 10 now on a raspi2 through a hub been goig about 12 hours still at 4.3mh per mld

Thanks I got it now.

Then you most likely:

- don't have a common ground or
- you cut supply to the USB chip as well or
- Your power supply doesn't supply a stable enough voltage at low startup current.

If you use a 'standard' ATX computer power supply, they don't really work well at very low loads. See here for a description and solution:

https://mysite.du.edu/~etuttle/electron/elect62.htm


I don't get it.
PSU  is a dedicated 5V limited at 10A that can be regulated. I set it to 5.15V and have over 4.95V directly on the moonlanders.
I tried another smaller 4-pot hub that has a better layout, dual layer well grounded and I can see the + from the usb plug going directly to the 4 sockets and the switch just adds the ext power where I solder on my 5V.
I plug in only 2 MLs but still no devices found.

If I plug one ML directly in the Pi it works fine, apart from the p2p pool issue.
I have done the 2.1A USB hack in the pi by replacing R54 with 10kΩ.

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:

...completed./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.
...and chuck our older Macs in the land fill Sad

If you're soldering anyway, it's probably easier (and safer) to just buy a $5 USB HUB and modify the 5V line there. There's usually already a provision for external power in these.

As easy as indeed cutting the 5V power trace and soldering your own 5V supply to it, and GND. All GNDs are common.


I tried that already but the data transfer is then dead.

PENG being pumped on Cryptopia right now, actually for a few days but the volume for a coin that has been claimed dead and worthless on this forum is not so bad at 55 LTC.
I remember when it was 0.00003 DOGE and now it just broke 0.001 and looks like it is just getting started volume-wise.
DOGE also tripled in the last few weeks against BTC, so a tripple whammy if you think BTC ...and if you then think FIAT value it is not quite that worthless after all if you have a billion PENG Grin

Buy cheap and sell expensive is the only way to get wealthy  Wink

Anybody mining PENG and/or has a WORKING link?

CSD It maintains this quality by absorbing economies that the community votes to have destroyed.


I don't see the logic in "saving" btc by destroying other coins. Looks pretty scammy to me. Based on the "overwhelming" amount of posts, that forum looks also pretty dead.

Many people have no trust in BTC because so many others manage to steal them. This proves that it is not secure. Perhaps you should wake up to that.
Small coins may be actually safer to bag or spend because for the scammers it maybe not worth the effort.

MiracleCoin has changed from a BTC market to a LTC market now...

i beleive that it was a mistake to pair up with litecoin..somebody should inform  cryptopia to add up btc pair

Thanx to all the people who dumped their Miracle for 50 CCB, we now have an MCL trading rate of 0.00000150 LTC.

So definitely the LTC market.

I am not going to argue with the Cryptopia guys because they are pretty mad about the dodgy MCL wallet/blockchain giving them a hard time to synch.
I think they are using my conf now and it looks OK, but it seems they might have only done this as a favor for me and a couple of mates.

They are the opinion that it is a dead coin, so is up to all of YOU to show them that it is not.
So go there and trade the shit out of this thing Smiley
