Only distributors I know of are HolyBitCoin and ASICPuppy. I'm watching both for Batch 2 stock (if any) and Batch 3 pre-order.

That list is up to date. (If you check the original post, you'll see it was updated just a couple weeks ago.)

This is a power related problem, sounds like your having cores drop in certain sticks due to too high frequency/power draw. Anything past 796 MHZ on stock core voltage your going to have issues, which is what your seeing. You need to turn up core voltage if you want to run past 800 mhz.

I bought one of these from ASICPuppy.

What a great stick miner, thank you jstefanop.  

I run this with my Windows PC in a USB 3 port.
The pre-compiled bfgminer was really easy peacy lemon squeezy.

I personally found a sweet spot for settings by tuning the Core Voltage to 0.655V and running it at 576 MHz frequency.
600 MHz was really unstable with lots of rejects and some hw error.

The hash rate is about 3.2 Mh/s.
And the power consumption is not too much for the USB 3 port.

I'm trying to get lucky, I have pointed it to a LTC solo pool.  

i ordered an overall of 4 miners - 3 from Bitshopper.de and 1 from Eyeboot.com

Could any of you give me an idea how i could run 2 miners in 1 process and 2 miners in single mode on same raspberry?

like this:

bfgbimer_double.sh    (miner 1 +2)
bfgminer_single1.sh   (miner 3)
bfgminer_single2.sh   (miner 4)

cause i dont want all to mine on same pool with same username.

(miners not arrived yet - but most probably first 3 will arrive over the weekend).

Thanks

Really!? Interesting - that a Pi3 ? Any special settings?

No - I was thinking current draw (amps) maybe using something like this:
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F162705351062

so you need the a foolproof copy n paste "just get it to work" description?

i'll write a short version for you that is most probably not perfect - but will most probably work.


Login to your raspberry pi with putty. (if this already is a problem - let me know). - you can as well login locally if you got keyboard and screen attached!

install neccesary library files (thanks to jstefanop for providing this info)


 this will create a directory in your home directory for bfgminer.
now you are in the new folder with the name "miner"

this will download the precompiled (ready to run) bfgminer from jstefanop.

now lets unpack this tar.gz file - this is a zipped tarball (something like a .zip file in windows - atleast similar)

now theres running lots of text of the files being unpacked into a folder.

lets go into the new unpacked folder!

here is the complete bfgminer including a short startup script from jstefanop.

now you can either edit the existing start script by using editor of your choice - i am using nano.
and change the pool, the username (after -u) the password (after -p) and save the file again
or depending on keyboard layout.

now thats its saved - quit the editor.
or
you are ready to do a test run!
now bfgminer will start (hopefully).

if you dont want to edit existing config you can as well try this:
in this line you change the pool - the username - the password option.
this will create a new file called "startmoonlander.sh" with your options - which can be modified later.

this file cant be used right now cause it is not executable. lets change that!

and now you can try your new startup script!

if you encounter any errors - describe them as good as possible or show us a screenshot and i bet - we will find a solution!

This is my thought as well, I was thinking of going just under 1 amp to try and lessen the load.

Based upon everyone feedback here though it's clear I need to get a 2+ amp hub as I'm simply leaving too much on the table trying to mess with 1 amp limitation. Even if I want to keep the draw around 1 amp, I need more power than that to keep the port under an 80% load.

This is my current solution.

added an external power supply 5V 10A to the USB hub (directly connected to the USB ports without any chip limitations

Using a Gridseed it is possible to change and display the frequency in the "Manage devices" menu. Would be nice if it would be possible with the Moonlanders as well.

any news regarding the miner update?
