I think the hardware errors came from overheating did you overclocked the miner?

Maybe the power supply is not giving enough power you might need to replace it.
Or I suggest try to downclock your miner and let's see if it could reduce the hardware errors.

Cheers for answering. No, I did not overclock the miner and the power supply comes with the Mars Lander.

By the look of your answer, it is not ok when the miner has a 42% hardware error rate? I don't understand the answer from the owner of Bitcoin Merch then.

Bitcoin Merch Mars Lander Hardware-Error Rate

I have a question regarding my Bitcoin Merch Mars Lander which shows a lot of hardware errors during mining.

The are some stats of my Mars Lander after mining for "1day 23h 24m 13s":

  • Accepted: 26,016
  • Rejected: 5
  • Hardware Errors: 10,928

That is a ~42% Hardware Error rate which I think is insanely high. It does mine at an average of 288 MH/s. So, just to be sure, I e-mailed Idan Abada from Bitcoin Merch and this is his reply:

"Hardware errors are normal. I see 289 GH/s, the advertised hash rate is 250. You are doing wonderful!"

When I said it's a 50% hardware error rate at that time, I got a reply back saying:

"Yes as long as your hash rate is normal, yours is very high so very good!"

So, my question is: is a 42% hardware rate accepted when mining at an average of 288MH/s? To me, it sounds like faulty hardware.
