1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Official FutureBit Apollo LTC Image and Support thread on: April 30, 2020, 09:12:12 AM
Hello, I've got two questions:

1. My node never reaches 16/16, stuck for a week on 15/16, is this expected?

2. When I check my IP on this site: http://nodes.blakeanderson.ca/networks/litecoin, it says: Error: ('xx.xx.xxx.xxx', 9333) closed connection
While the Apollo dashboard seems to be ok. When I restart my node I get a valid connection again, until it reaches 15/16 again and I get a closed connection again.. Anyone has a clue?
(Port is definitely correctly forwarded in my router settings.)

I lowered it to 540 freq and around .65 core voltage, went well for 2 days. Then the same thing resurfaced.
Multiple errors, but now the hashrate goes even lower ex. 1.5.

It might have been something with the assembly of the ML by the distributor as the large heatsink with fan came loose (heat?) and I had the put it back.
It was already average assembled from start (fan and heatsink were pretty much off target by 0.5cm Wink )

I can't even let it run for 30 minutes now on low freq and voltage or the glue/paste starts to go soft and as I ran the thing horizontal the fan and heatsink would just fall down.

I'm not much of a hardware guy so I'm trying to explain the things as I see them Smiley

Thank you!

How long was it running with a detached heatsink? That should have completely fried it and probably the reason its not working how it should. These heatsinks are impossible to pull off as long as they are attached correctly (15 lbs force for 15 seconds). Sounds like the distributor you got them from didn't attached this one correct. Where did you buy it from?

I didn't exactly know when I first noticed, but I sure can't run it any longer now than 15 minutes without coming loose, so it is pretty useless right now.
I ordered it on Bittawmart.

Hello,

I've been running a ML2 for about 2 days, pretty much at stock settings (upped freq to 620) on a macbook pro usb3 port.
It has been running stable for that time, but suddenly the hashrate dropped to 2.1 - 2.5 MH, it used to be stable at 3 - 3.2 MH.

Am I missing something right here? My setup didn't change (no other devices attached).
For stable 3 MH you will need more than 500 mA. Can macbook pro usb port suplly current more than that?

I have no idea, I can only tell what I saw these last 2 days.

This is what system info says

Current Available (mA):   500
Current Required (mA):   100
Extra Operating Current (mA):   0

Apple docs:

Apple computers equipped with USB 3 provide up to 900 mA (milliamps) at 5 V (Volts) to most Apple USB peripherals as well as all third-party USB peripherals that comply with USB specifications.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204377
According to docs, it can provide from 500 mA up to 1100 mA, depends how much attached device is in some way compatible with oem apple devices. Try to lower clock speed @540... Dropping hasrate is usually all about lack of juice from usb port...

EDIT: 620 is not available clock speed listed on first page.

oh wow..
Must be a typo, I'll see what fixing this does.

Thank you.

It's on 625 now, but it seems it doesn't matter much. I used to get 3.2MH on 600 and stock settings, but hey better than nothing Wink
I'm mainly doing this to support and because I'm interested in it, not to get rich.


It is getting worse and worse from now on. It has drops to 1.5MH.
Frequent unknown responses, restarts,..

I have to lower my freq everyday, while it was stable the first 3 days, something definitely is wrong.

Screenshot:





I think you should decrease Vcore to 0.65V. Read page #34 of this thread up to post #669.

Yea to get under 1A and stable operation off a standard computer USB port your going to need to lower the voltage and run under 600 MHz.

Anyone who got a shipment update from bittawmart yet?
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread on: January 02, 2018, 09:28:19 AM
Are there any recommended voltage settings for a macbook pro usb port? (Might be the same for any laptop)

I will only run one ML2


It might be cool to collect settings for common setups. ex:

 - Macbook Pro
 - Regular Windows laptop
 - ..
11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] FutureBit Moonlander 2: The Most Powerful and Efficient USB Stick Miner! on: December 26, 2017, 05:45:45 PM
are there any left?


I live in Belgium, ordered mine at the australian webshop, it ships worldwide.


12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread on: December 26, 2017, 10:54:40 AM
Does one ML2 work on a macbook pro?

Are there any recommended settings, or is default ok?


Not sure if this has been asked before, can't seem to find it.


Thank you!
13  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [SOLD OUT!] FutureBit Moonlander 2 Official Pre-order Thread on: September 11, 2017, 08:20:23 PM
I guess it's not possible to reserve four of them from batch 2 already?
14  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [SOLD OUT!] FutureBit Moonlander 2 Official Pre-order Thread on: September 06, 2017, 03:06:49 PM
What is the best way to get an update when there are new ones to order.

I don't check this forum every 5 minutes and so when this happens over the weekend I probably will be late again.
15  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [PRE-ORDER] FutureBit Moonlander 2 Official Pre-order Thread on: September 04, 2017, 03:34:20 PM
Is there still a way to get some now it is sold out?

I would like to buy 2.
