61  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] FutureBit Moonlander 2: The Most Powerful and Efficient USB Stick Miner! on: January 03, 2018, 11:47:23 AM


Anyone get their Moonlander 2 miners to hash at 5Mhs plus?
What was the max hash speed you can obtain with settings?


I received a few of those gooseneck USB fans in today so i decided to see what I could get out of one without going too far overboard.

900Mhz Core Clock

I took this screenshot right at about 12:00 minutes so it had not a chance to even out but it is above 5 Mhs and now that I look it has went even higher up to about 5.15 Mhs




waiting on the others to come in.

I don't see any reason to push it to this but figured I would test it out and see how it holds up.

"Offers" means that I am open to take offers on the domain.

I don't really have a set price in mind but 2,000 DGB would be a good start.

Surprised at some of the stuff for sale in here. Figured I would toss this one in the ring. Although it doesn't address cryptocurrency directly, still a good domain name.

Also have InvestnWeed.com and InvestnWeed.net for all you pot heads out there.

Make offers if interested.

65  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Now that usb sticks are being sold by sidehack here is a new usb hub thread. on: December 30, 2017, 10:20:55 PM

I have a question about the Blue Block Erupter 49 port Hubs - The description on the website and eBay say:

"This is the most up to date version (V3) of the popular USB 2.0 hub, it has new improvements such as a built in 70A fuse. It is capable of supplying 0.5 - 1 amp per port. "

I have two of them and and they both came with 50 amp fuses installed (blade type replaceable).

If you take 50 amps and divide the 49 ports then it comes out to right around the 1 amp per port as they describe. However if these are the "most up to date version (V3)" and is designed for a 70 amp fuse then that would come out to nearly 1.5 amps per port.

I do not plan on filling the entire 49 ports per USB hub.

Main question is - is this blue block erupter 49 port hub limited by the chipset so that even replacing the 50 amp fuse with a 70 amp will make no difference or possibly did they just ship them with 50 amp fuses that they have in stock, and are actually capable of the 70 amp total.

Does anyone have experience with this hub?

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-4-port-usb-3-0-hub-black/5631038.p?skuId=5631038

Spotted it last night browsing though Best Buy while waiting for a movie to start. The package claims 3.6A per port. And the price is right on par with Sipolar and other manufacturers making high-power-output USB data hubs.

Don't have experience but if you read the Q&A's the first one states:

"Only one of the ports is 3A, the others are 0.5A ports. Be aware that the full capacity is 3.5A so if you have a device that truly pulls 3A in the high power port the other ports will have diminished capacity."

4 ports / 3.5 = 1.14 max as I see it.

Wanted to see if anyone has a script that works with this pool in the moonlander bfgminer.

Code:
bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://tbdice.org:13333 -u LTC_Payment_Address.User_Name_I_Select -p diff_256:Doge_Address:my_email_add@yahoo.com:type=3 -S MLD:all --set MLD:clock=796

The email address is only added for notifications if I hit a block.

Has worked for me non stop for days at a time...

Afaik It is a fees that you should pay because you have an "evil ip" (or a word similar to this)
It is related to the domain ip range that you create your account with.

Well that is what I initially thought back then as well. So, of-course I tried changing my IP many times (successfully) and it still said that to me. So I thought it to be strange to block an entire 'B' block (if I got that right - about 65k or so) just because of one person.

Now for your situation, may I say that you paid the amount and you didn't wait until the transaction gets confirmed?

I am fairly certain that wasn't the case either. Back then it seemed as though a BTC transfer was a whole lot quicker (and I know a hell of a lot cheaper) than they are today, maybe because there was not nearly as many trying to go through. Regardless, I tried, gave it about a week or more, pissed off whenever I would go to Google something and it would direct me here, where I knew I couldn't log in. I would eventually return and try again but same thing. Finally I gave up and never clicked on a Google result that had BitCoinTalk as the result.

Now, after more than two years I finally decided to click on one of the links and try to log in (still had my name and password stored in Chrome) and just like that ... I was no longer evil.



69  Other / Meta / Re: Get Donator status by donating 10 BTC on: December 29, 2017, 10:05:14 PM
A number of years back, when BTC was still around $200.00, I signed up to this forum and it never would allow me to access it. Instead, everytime I tried to log on it would say some garbage about "You have been guilty of (something or other) and must pay the satoshi gods xxxx amount of satoshi".  

It wasn't much and I thought maybe someone one the same IP range as me had done something to deserve this so I paid - nothing. Still everytime I would come and try to login same thing. I would pay again and still same thing. I finally quit trying.

That was back in February 06, 2015 when I registered. It wasn't until the past month that I came back and tried to login and it actually allowed me.

Anyone know just WTF was going on back then?

Can "Moonlader 2" mine any other altcoins efficiently other than litecoin ? thanks
That is not much money at all however if you think in terms of coin accumulation instead of immediate gains, if that coin was to go to $0.10 from the current $0.06 then you have made a little bit of money and nearly cut your ROI in half (an easily seeable gain from 6 cents to 10 cents). Now if the coin went up a great amount (I can still remember holding BTC when it was sub $100.00) then you could have a small windfall just at $10.00 a coin. I don't think for a minute it will jump up like that but stranger things have happened.

Look up 'opportunity cost'

In cases like this it's always better to just spend the money to buy those coins instead of pay for electricity..
Same outlay, more coins.

You must not be aware of just how little electricity these things use. At a rate of $0.10 / Kwh (which is my rate where I live) - during the entire 365 days of a year the total cost of electricity for this USB stick to run is only $6.13 +/- yet could generate 1,095 coins (if all remained the same). If you bought 1,095 DGB coins right now it would be about $65.00 + fees

$65.00 compared to  $6.13  Not even close to "Same outlay, more coins"

Cost in electricity to run this stick at a liberal 7 watt/hr rating

1 day - $0.02 Generates 3 DGB
1 week - $0.12 Generates 21 DGB
1 month - $0.50 Generates 90 DGB
1 year - $6.13 Generates 1,095 DGB


Now I am fairly certain you will follow up with a reply by throwing in the cost of buying the Moonlander2, however that is not what I am addressing. I am addressing your claim on electricity only, since that is all you referred to. The OP more than likely bought the Moonlander2 as a "hobby" and without thoughts it would make him the next Warren Buffet.

You can go to Hash-To-Coins mining pool where all the coins are mined using scrypt algo and mine some of the lower priced coins such as DGB which has a price of about $0.06 right now. With just one Moonlander2 running at 4.5 Mhz, basing electricity costs at $0.10 /Kwh, and 7 watts draw you can mine about 3 DGB coins a day. Every week, about 21 or so, and every month about 92 coins.

That is not much money at all however if you think in terms of coin accumulation instead of immediate gains, if that coin was to go to $0.10 from the current $0.06 then you have made a little bit of money and nearly cut your ROI in half (an easily seeable gain from 6 cents to 10 cents).

I don't think for a minute it will jump up like that but stranger things have happened.

Just pick your longshot altcoin from those mineable with scrypt off the page, direct you miner to get to work and give it time. What do you have to lose? The price of the electricity?

I've currently got a 6-GPU rig dual mining ETH and SIA, so this would be my first foray into the ASIC world  .......

10X Moonlander 2's:

Hashrate: ~425MH/s @ ~65 Watts. According to whattomine, that's around $15 profit per day.

Is my math / understanding correct here?

Thanks Smiley

well thanks so much for this information, lately i plan to buy Verge because it looks like a promising coin, maybe i am wrong, so much thanks for this kind of information from you, it really helps me a lot

Your thanking the OP for giving you false information? Must be a new strategy. Hope it works out well for you.  Wink

Hmmm. OK.

Who was this then?

Go figure?

75  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] FutureBit Moonlander 2: The Most Powerful and Efficient USB Stick Miner! on: December 27, 2017, 01:15:51 AM

I have a question to you guys, can someone who already owns that little bad boy tell me is a fun much louder when miner is pushed to 5Mh comparing to stock settings?


The fan on just one, which is all I have on the board till the batch 2 shipment is received, barely makes any noise whatsoever. My computer make much more noise when idle.

I will let you know what 28 of them sounds like - probably more noticeable with that many.

 
76  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] FutureBit Moonlander 2: The Most Powerful and Efficient USB Stick Miner! on: December 22, 2017, 04:49:28 AM

does anyone know if its possible to force more AMPS though a USB hub then it is rated at? of coruse to not change the voltage.. (5v)


Not wise IMO. More amps = more heat = increased fire hazard. Those cheaper hubs are made with just the bare minimum of quality in parts and aren't really made for running these ASIC's .

Got to get serious and get yourself one of these - Block Erupter 49 Port USB 2.0 Hub 110/220V ATX

77  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] FutureBit Moonlander 2: The Most Powerful and Efficient USB Stick Miner! on: December 20, 2017, 02:44:21 AM
I have pre ordered 20 on this second offering from two suppliers and maybe I will get them in mid to late January (although I see at least one of those suppliers selling "in hand" on eBay right now which has me a bit worried if I will actually get mine) but I saw jstefanop selling a few on ebay as well so I decided to buy one more to get my hands on this thing a bit quicker.

Glad I did! very nice and out of the box I changed the core clock to 768 and it seems to be working very well, stable, and barely any noise. I can't wait to get my hands on all my other parts (49 Port Block Erupter USB Board and 4 USB fans) to go with the Raspberry pi 3 and the 550 watt power supply so I can complete this little project.

Thanks for the Moonlander jstefanop ....  shipped quick too!


Had it running about 2 hours or so, solo mining and this screenshot is the result.





Ahh screw it! I can't figure out how in the hell to attach an image and search doesn't tell nothing.

78  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Node offline help on: December 02, 2017, 12:24:18 AM

Right click on Task Bar and select task manager.

Close Armory the normal way and watch the Task Manager window under Processes after it finally closes (force if necessary) to make sure that the ArmoryQT.exe, bitcoind (Bitcoin Node Daemon), as well as ArmoryDB.exe all exits.

I suspect that ArmoryDB.exe will hang. If so then right click in Task Manager and End Process.

Restart Armory and see if it run corrreectly like it did for me with the Node Connection green.

Good Luck.

The size of your transaction is fine. It can be mined.

As with the Bitcoin Cash, they are in the original addresses.

Thanks for the info and I did figure out how to claim the BCH and it went through so I feel more confident that the BTC will make it through eventually as well. Crazy transfer fees for just a few dollars worth of BCH

Input total           0.01857646 BCH*            24.53 USD
Output total         0.01115446 BCH*            14.73 USD
Fee                     0.00742200 BCH*             9.80 USD
Fee per kB           0.00041247 BCH*              0.54 USD

I was going through some old wallets and found some 'pocket change' in one that was now worth about $200.00 or so so I tried to send it to the exchange but I screwed something up.

Electrum 3.0.2
Funds initially recovered from MultiBit HD using seed into Electrum
Initial Transaction ID: c8892d1440084990a2f90ca608e836d01b36686963aaf4488f634a05c49c96bc
Subsequent RBF Transaction ID: c41ff5ccff8697c95d52fb6130956e544af176988e90efbd6c25320c9dae3987 and same ID on   BlockCypher

I am not entirely sure how the fees were so low, including the bump up in fees using RBF ...  Huh


It looks like there are 139 inputs and 4 of those are listed as VERY DORMANT
14aqz9fDD62vjDGETBGKMicFkQWpwB9Zh7
19RXfJSCHyUUi67jCkUaXi8bfWcZdNa82L
12Y5eAqbQGnj3Lot9ewecHiQXLqLcXHJga
1A8PJaBrnwhnxWDpwzHVsSsWYfNBpRrrhQ


I have been away from BTC for a while and apparently quite a bit has changed, such as the fork which I knew nothing about until I had already sent that transaction. Apparently those coins are under the fork and I could have got BTC Cash out of it too but ....   oh well.

I am in the process now of updating BTC Core (still 46 weeks behind) right now as there might still be some residual 'pocket change' in that wallet as well.

Any insight on what I did wrong or if the Double Spend or transaction size of 24994 bytes might allow it to be kicked out would be helpful.
