1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread on: December 16, 2017, 04:41:41 PM
Is there a 32bit Linux version of the driver?

Had intended reusing an old eeePC (1000H) as a no-budget, low energy alternative to an Rpi.

Have been getting an "cannot execute binary file: exec format error"

Upon further research:
Running Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS (lubuntu)
Arch: i686
File: ./bfgminer: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64,

The final design has been locked in for production next month, and I'm happy to reveal it you all! PCB is a cool matte black design, with the same anodized black aluminum heatsink as the original moonlander. I decided to include both memory voltage adjustment in addition to core voltage, as my tests had an efficiency gain of 10-20% for ASICs that can handle lower memory voltage!

As a super thank you to all who pre-ordered I decided to include a 25mm fan into the cooling solution as well, so no need to come up with clumsy external fan solutions to keep these cool. A top side small ASIC heatsink will also be included to further increase thermal efficiency (it will be black not blue).


Looks great! Can you share final dimensions?

Ah shoot. Didn't see the "don't use this hub with high power-consumption devices" entry.

Any recommendations for other hubs with appropriate power supplies? I've tried to find the superbpag ones but they are either OOS everywhere or no longer made.

Anyone have a good idea what USB hub will be best to run 20+ of these?

I was considering this for 10x

Has 20 ports, 90W power supply. Two could likely meet the power/space requirements.

Was also looking at this, but kind of pricey for what it is.

Also looking into adding 5V power to an underpowered 2.0 hub as many in this thread have suggested. I've only done moderate research on it so far and am concerned about the power management and getting beyond design currents.
