Yes fan should start as soon as you plug in. DONT run these if the fan is not running. Make sure you plugged in cable correct and it’s plugged in all the way into the port.

Nice! How many do you have on that hub?? Also keep an eye on temps with that many close together.

This is normal, even on my test setup I have to restart them once in a while if your running multiple sticks. Not much you can do about it unless your hubs are really good. Have you turned down your voltage from stock setting since your running 600 MHz it looks like? Also try raising your memory voltage a bit and see if that helps with stability.

Im working on driver update that will auto-restart them once it detects it has stopped hashing. bfgminer is supposed to do this already, but its sick/dead/restart code is buggy.

There are only three threads up, one for sales/ordering (this one), the general announcement thread, and support thread.

Things would get chaotic if people had to keep up with a single thread for all of this. The announcement thread alone is 25 pages long.

You need to turn the voltage down even for stock voltage setting. Out of the box the voltage is set to around .75, which is good for up to 800 mhz. If it stops hahshing it’s because USB port doesn’t haven’t enough power. For 600 MHz .65v position is good and that will draw under an amp which will be stable for USB 3 port.

Where did you order from/how were they shipped?? This looks like the board got bent badly during shipment.

That’s the inductor casing, a cracked casing won’t cause any functionality issues, but that’s still concerning. Either something bad happened during shipment or heatsinks are being applied the wrong way.

And those are not the people buying these, at least not the vast majority. Guess I was an idiot for mining 500 LTC with my junk GPUs for a LOSS in 2012 right

Same goes for the people that bought my original Moonlander that were making .25 LTC a month (under $1 USD in 2016).

Oh wait yea those people made about 10x profit since the original.

For your info, I’m barely making ANY profit from pre-orders on these. I’m more interested in getting the largest number of people possible with the least cost into LTC, and funding Litecoin’s development at the same time.

Once again you have no idea what your talking about, so just go back to mining and selling your LTC the second you get a chance, and be glad there is a market for you to sell (most of your buyers are probably the idiots that bought my original Moonlander

Lets refrain from calling stuff junk when you have no idea how crypto or the community in general works, and said community keeps the price where it is so you can mine with your expensive miners and make profit.

Most people don't have thousands to spend like you, or know nothing about mining and crypto in general to spend said thousands. This is a great way to get into it.

You can thank me for bringing thousands of new people into LTC, and support the price YOU mine at. Think twice before calling any of this junk or stupid.

What have you done to support LTC and the community in general?

Workaround found for 10.13...thanks charlie for debugging this with me. Fix has been posted in FAQ and below:

The workaround is to disable the SIP, installed the driver then enable the SIP.
-Shut down the Mac, start with Cmd-R depressed to boot to the Recovery Partition that will display the System Utilities.
-Open the Terminal and issue the command csrutil status and you will see SIP is enabled. To disable the SIP issue the command csrutil disable and then restart the Mac.
-You can then download and install the latest driver from Silicon Labs, you have the new USB to UART driver installed, and should work with the moonlander now
-Shut down and boot to the System Utilities and issue the command csrutil enable and restart.
-The csrutil disable and csrtil enable can only be issued from the Terminal while booted to Recovery Partition. Yes, this is a PITA but it works.

While debugging this also found a bug with bfgminer, and current binary wont work with Mac OS < 10.12. Apparently Apple changed a critical base framework from 10.12 onwards and any binaries compiled on 10.12 (which is my dev system) wont work on 10.11 and below. If you want these run on a Mac us 10.12 for out of the box support, or 10.13 with the above fix.  I can't support dozens of distributions architectures and different versions within sorry

One again please keep these threads on topic, this belongs in the order thread not in the support thread.

Bitmart was the last distributor I added, he is literally one of the last on the list and just shipped his sticks out, which wont get to SA until next week. You guys that ordered a month ago can't expect to get your sticks the same time for people that have been waiting for 3 months.

Guys keep reselling stuff out of this thread, and post in appropriate sections.

Almost all pre-orders have been shipped out on my end. The only distributor that does not have them yet is bitshopper.de, and he will get them early next week. Distributors will be shipping out individual orders over the next week.

This is the support thread, please keep questions only to support related topics. There is a general thread as well as an order thread linked in main post. To answer your question bitshopper.de will have remaining stock available for sale next week.

yep, was debugging this with charlie, and apple has a new security mechanism for third party drivers that block them in Mac OS 10.13. If you have upgraded to High Sierra don't expect these to work. Im working with Silicon Labs to provide an update ASAP. In the meantime use a Windows, Linux/ Rasp Pi, or Mac with 10.09-10.12.

Yea there is a wealth of knowledge already posted about hubs, if someone wants to start a thread and consolidate some of the info that would be awesome. Just look at my old Moonlander thread for some tips, and also check out sidehack's threads on his bitcoin USB miner, I believe they have their own hub discussion as well that would apply my sticks as well.

thanks for that writeup Astrali, when I think I got the "basic" instructions down but keep forgetting there are some people that never used linux before 

and yes like I mentioned in the download links you'll need to install the required dependancies on a fresh system to run the compiled linux binaries. You only need


If you have never used linux before Id start off with just getting these to run on either windows or mac, since its just a download and double click the startup script to get running on those systems. Then you can start playing around in linux.

Guys please read the main post, and all related threads for this project before posting basic questions. The support thread is linked at the top of the OP, and your answer is in that post.

keep an eye out here or my twitter account (jstefanop1).

Definitely wont be that much. Die shrink to 16nm which I'm sure bitmain is working on will be either 500MH @ 400 watts, or 1GH at the same wattage now.

Dosent matter what temps your chips are...these boards are a serial powered chain controlled by a single buck. The mosfets are pretty nice for these, but at the power draw your approaching you will most certainly blow one of them eventually. Not to mention serial power designs definitely don't like to be run past amps they are not designed for.

Sure youll get an extra 100MH for a month or two, but whats better 500MH for a year straight, or blown boards after 6 months of running at 650MH outside of warranty and shit out of luck?

Slow and steady wins the race, even in crypto.
