Shipping is all dependent on when I get the ASICs, and foundry is still on schedule for mid-october delivery to me. Most major parts are ordered, and PCB design is is almost complete. As soon as I have the chips ill be able to start production and will be shipping out hundreds per day. The first people that pre-ordered will probably get theirs end of october, and if you were at the end of the pre-order probably mid-november.

And yes, this at minimum will ship with heatsink, and all you need to run at lower end speeds without a fan. Im trying to work with a small fan manufacture so I can bundle a fan as a "thanks" to everyone that pre-ordered. This will allow you to run it at almost full speed without needing an external fan to blow on the sticks.

Yes once first batch starts shipping ill see if a second batch is feasible and will give plenty of advance notice before that goes for sale.

Yes everything you need to run it will come with it, including heatsink and possibly a small fan.

Those wires actually go to a small fan I'm testing, but if you want to power them externally I would just get a cheap hub, open it up, and solder its +5v and GND to an external 5v supply.

Update for you guys!

Got the semi-final production design in and currently going through its rounds of testing. So far everything is checking out and will probably freeze this design for the production board. Pic below so you guys can get an idea of the size and what the final board will look like!

Bottom is the prototype/dev board, middle is the new pre-production design, and top is the old Moonlander 1 for comparison.

Yes I'm here...just PM me :p

Im usually most active here, and the official thread went up weeks ago, and was posting updated on when the pre-order would start etc. Also started using twitter more so you can follow me on there (jstefanop1).

I probably should get around to making a website/email list

All current scrypt chips are on 28nm nodes.

Where did you get a v1.1?? I made like 5 of those for review units

At full load these are going to pull 10-12A, but remember this is 240v so thats 5-6A on each hot leg. I have 4 of these (they are not running 100%) on a double 30A breaker using 10G wire. Breaker is fine (since max load is 24A), and 10G is rated for 30A as well (just make sure you get the single copper core type).

L3 uses a variant of cgminer. There should be no reason why it would not work if this works with the S9. Im looking into it with my machine.

Yep my farm is made up of a bunch of these




6kw IOT PDU for 50 bucks worth of parts wired directly 30A breakers, with full control anywhere in the world on my iPhone

Is it just me or did the remove the "Input" temp sensors on the latest batch of these? Im showing zero for temps on both the chips and PCB sensors on the "I" column.

haha don't worry your good...I actually despise everything windows I haven't even built windows binaries for these yet. I have been developing these on my Ubuntu and Mac dev systems so far

Guys please be careful with PMs and double check who is PMing you. There is an impostor going around on the forum that has a slightly misspelled version of my username, and asking for paypal payments to ship you moonlanders.

These guys always pop out with sales like this(they did it on my version 1 as well), so double check who is PMing you (and I only ask for crypto payments, DONT take paypal).

Thanks for the PMs pointing this out. Always be careful and watch out for scammers on these forums.

There are many reasons, and these sold out because there are many valid use cases, not because im selling this to "gullible masses" as you put it.

Main reason I personally build these is because you can get into Litecoin and mining at a very small cost compared to expensive, hot, and loud ASICs which are catered to centralized farms which many people cannot run in their homes.

You cant go up to your friend thats heard about crypto, but never got into it and hand him and L3+ and tell him to "try it" (youd have to be a very good friend to do this in the first place). Now you give him a small little USB device that he can just plug into his computer and use easily to mine real litecoins, have him see real value transferred to his account from "thin air", and be profitable on top and they are hooked.


I have said this from my original moonlander project and ill say it again, we sometimes get lost in the "profitability game" and its understandable, but sometimes we need to take a step back and remember why we are all really here. We are building, and now bringing mass adaption to a decentralized and revolutionary  new way to transact between people.

Revolutions are started an won by a small group of people willing to make a sacrifice by winning the hearts and minds of the masses...use this tool to do that

Quick ROI is not the point of this miner, and if you want to buy 10 to just mine for profitability your better off getting a large ASIC. Its not possible for a single stick USB miner to be anywhere near as profitable as a large ASIC or GPUs because of economies of scale.

For example this miner half of the cost goes to ASIC, and the other half goes to assembly/component costs. For large miners its 90% ASIC cost and 10% Assembly/components because they can stick hundreds of ASICs into one miner.

Check out the Superpbag hubs...I personally use those too test these.

A separate instructions/support thread will be started closer to shipping. Things will be very similar to the original moonlander...so you can go over and ready that thread (linked in my sig) to get an idea of how these work.

FYI asicpuppy had to readjust his stock due to some payments that were never sent for his orders.

He has put back up a couple dozen...grab them while you can

Pre-order is officially sold out everywhere (distributors and additional orders I could take). More stock will be available for immediate shipment once units are in production in November...keep in mind that all pre-order units will be shipped first, so can't say exactly when we will be able to sell more past pre-order units. Will have more updates closers to October/November.
