Hi received my Moonlander a couple of days ago. I work from home so my PC is on 12+ hours a day 5 days a week and less at the weekends. This is ideal as it uses very few resources. So far mined 0.00033LTC in 3 days running on the default settings it is running at around 3.2mhs, not going to make a fortune, and may never get the purchase price back but it is a bit of fun. What is the expected life of these running 24/7 but not overclocked??
They seem to be fussy on USB ports. My gaming PC has a couple of ports on the top which it doesn't like, runs great off the motherboard though. Would be interested in what results people with several are getting as I might try and buy one a month, depending on supply.

Thanks jack, i'm in a similar position. The stand alone ASIC miners are beyond my budget and I want to take advantage of the fact that my PC is on anyway 12-15 hours a day 5 days a week and it costs me nothing. I don't expect to make a fortune but just take advantage of the above.

Hi I am new and have a question. I have a USB ASIC (Moonlander 2) on order but started mining yesterday just using CPU miner and my gaming PC while I wait for the ASIC to get a feel. CPU miner is hashing away but only occasionally shows a share which results in a payout. I had about 4 in a hour last night but today 90min with nothing. Is this idle time so it is just casting around for a share or is it actually mining anything that will result in a payout? When I get my ASIC I assume I will get many, many more shares.
FYI not bothered about the economics as I work from home and work pay for internet and electricity.
any info appreciated.
