1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] FutureBit Moonlander 2: The Most Powerful and Efficient USB Stick Miner! on: December 10, 2017, 11:31:59 AM
Hi everyone, my package arrived from bitshopper.de today with 10 units!
Unfortunately recent events will force me to (reluctantly) sell these to anyone (Europe only) that wants to buy. Can anyone advise on the best options for a safe deal besides Ebay?
Thank you!

Are you in the UK?

No, I'm in Portugal. UK shipping is around 16 euro. PM me if interested.

Question @Hotachy: regarding the telegram sticker bounty, are we talking about one sticker or some sort of ticket collection with McFly.aero theme?

Submitted Portuguese (European) translation bounty request!

REAL energy projects (i.e. NOT asset managers such as wepower, and NOT the pure solar/other renewable energy investment rubbish where crypto is just "added" to the process as a marketing tool) should be favoured, such as Grid+ and Prosume Energy.

What in your opinion is the difference between Grid+ and SunContract, for instance? Aren't both promoting exchange of surplus energy through crypto assets?

Well first of all a project needs to go beyond the pure exchange of "surplus" - it has to be part of a decentralisation as well as deregulationary "revolution" if you will.

SunContract does not have anything close to the professionalism or contacts or regional spread as a professional project such as Prosume Energy - of course the underlying idea is ok.

But in order for there to be amazing upside potential the team has to be top notch (Prosume has amazing blockchain and energy experts and advisors from Ernst and Young as well as sovereign wealth funds !) and is based Europe wide for a global eventual roll out.

Not comparable. Being in the right sector and even having the right idea is not enough ingredients for success.

Thank you for your input. I actually invested in SNC in the beginning but I've been wondering what kind of future I do expect of them because I don't see revolutionary fundamentals there. The idea seems good but in theory anyone can do what they want to do.

This board amazes me sometimes.

All the hyped ICOs are killing people - Bancor, Monaco etc and there is no self reflection.

People need to change the way they participate in projects.

All the rubbish needs to be shunned.

Sectors need to be chosen carefully, and projects thereafter.

Stop following people who have proven themselves useless.
You put it in the name of the thread as if people actually invested to lose money. This is surely wrong. It is just rather hard to define what is going to be a good investment. I bought blackmoon for about 70 cents and now it's under 50. The project was interesting, team is legit and marketing was amazing. What has gone wrong? No idea. Electroneum also has a team full of enthusiasts and the idea of their project is truly innovative and attractive. Yet from the time coin was released the price has only been going down. Why is this happening? Hard to say. It's not as easy as you put it anyway.

I agree on this. There are too many factors that can shift everything upside down in a brief instant - even if the "old" corolary of good projects apply (team, community, idea, etc...).

looks good, but im not sure if their values are all accurate. The thing has 12V@10 AMPS which is 120Watt-from the wall.
They claim that you can bring up to 12W per port -> you are then @ 120 Watt. This cannot be right, because the PSU would need 100% efficiency for that.

Im still looking for a highly-efficient model for the few i ordered.


sir this is accurate for me.

---MATH---
12V x 10A = 120watts
so we have 10 ports @ 5V each
120watts/10 ports = 12watts each port
so 12watts/5V = 2.4amps per port
they put 2.1amp per port to be safe +/- 20%

Nice! If anyone know of any shop that sells this in Europe, please advise. China takes too long and customs are tough on taxes of electronic equipment.

Sorry, this one is limited to one 2A port Tongue

Would this be enough for 4 units (with "riser" cables or adapters for the moonlanders to fit, of course)

I also thought on getting this one:

http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=405&area=en

And plugging a 5V 10A transformer to it - since it is USB 3.0, anyone knows if it would handle the amperage correctly to each port?

Yes, the description seems a bit off. They say each port can supply 2.1 Amps but if every port is sucking that amperage, whouldn't we need a 20amp power supply for 10 ports?

Thank you for your answer. Wouldn't 1.2A be enough for the expected hashrate? I read it needed 750mA for a 3.4MH/s performance.
I then found some USB3.0 Hubs with 1.2A so I wonder if that fits the job.

Yes, if you want the stock performance, 1.2A works fine. One of the great things about USB sticks with adjustable clock speeds is that you can squeeze out even more performance - according to jstefanop, up to 5mh/s. That's why you'd get a high powered hub.

Oh, I wasn't aware it could go that far. Thank you for the clarification.

I wonder if it would be easy (and safe) to convert a 4-port Hub with a 5A power supply to 10A. I've seen the tutorials on converting powerless Hubs but they lack some specification on how far the amperage can go on those devices. I need to research more.

Hi guys,

I pre-ordered 10 Moonlander 2 units (super excited!) and I was wondering if this kind of HUB would be a good buy:

Thank you in advance!

The description says it has 300mA per port. That means you won’t be able to overclock the stick much at all. You want one that gives around 2A per port.
