OP has been updated with final pricing and start time...see below:

Pre-order will officially go live tomorrow(or I guess today now), Friday Sept 1st at 12PM Eastern (GMT - 5). Pre-order links from my distributors will go live at that time, and I will post a separate thread Pre-order thread in the marketplace section.

Keep in mind that with every moonlander you buy, 10-20% of my personal profits will go directly to the Litecoin Foundation, to further drive this awesome growth we have had with Litecoin this year(keep an eye out for a Moonlander tweet by Charlie tomorrow)!

Final Pre-order pricing is a follows:

For North America
Holybitcoin.com and Asicpuppy.com: 59 USD + shipping

Europe and surrounding countries
Bitshopper.de: 64 EUR + shipping

EU pricing covers all import and sales taxes, and certifications required to sell electronics in EU.

Asia/Australia/South America

I will handle most of these sales: 59 USD + shipping, MOQ 10 pieces

I have enough stock to handle a couple hundred additional sales, but I cant ship 1 or 2 to individuals internationally...It does not make sense shipping wise (will cost over 20 USD in just shipping for one unit). I suggest people looking for 1 or two sticks to form group buys by trusted members in your respective region subforums, and have the group buy leader contact me with final numbers. The trust of the group buyer is entirely up to you guys.

Pre-order pricing will only last for the initial units sold, and cant guarantee price will last once pre-order is over.

DO NOT contact me for sales in the NA/EUR regions covered by distributors unless you want 50+ units. They have put in alot of work and cash upfront to make this work smoothly for everyone, and I wont be selling at lower price directly.


Thanks again for all your support so far!...im excited that you guys are even more excited than me about these

Yes these will work with any scrypt mining pool. You can plug in as many USB ports as you have :p

What most people do is buy a multiport hub to plug them into. You'll probably need a USB extension cable to fit them all on there, and keep in mind you need at least 2A per port to power them at full power.

Price will be comparable to what it would cost me to ship a unit out to EU + import taxes etc.

Guys please read the OP, most of your questions are answered there. Once again I'm not handling small orders, and posting in this thread does not guarantee you any units. Links will be posted tomorrow around 12PM EST from my distributors handling the shipments. This is the only way to order and guarantee you can get a stick at the launch price.

It will be first come first serve, and keep in mind I have made a deal with them to keep the price close to what I would have sold direct for only the first couple hundred units they have. After that I can't control the price.

I will update OP with final pre-order/launch pricing in a bit.

Yes minimum ONE MILLION DOGE per stick

Its all in my main post...only thing holding these from being produced right now is waiting for the chips to be fabricated from he foundry. Chip production is still on schedule and will be shipped to me mid-october. Barring an unforeseen delays ill be able to start shipments shortly after I receive the chips, since PCBs and components will be ordered ahead of time.

We are all here for one reason, and I'm building these to advance and spread mining/crypto to as many people as possible so you can take a guess on the only form of payment I accept

Quick update!

Final component selection/testing is complete on the dev board, and just finished semi-final production PCB design (check out render below). Hopefully ill have the real thing to show you guys by friday/monday. My distributors are on track to start pre-orders on Friday.

Yes, like usual you can use my repo to compile bfgminer driver, or use the pre-compiled Windows/Mac/Linux binaries I will provide when these ship.

I ordered for the Aug 28-Sept 12 batch, and miners got shipped out exactly on the 28th. Sounds like there was a mess up with your order.

Check out my Moonlander 2 USB project. Pretty much the most efficient, and cost effective miner for under 60 USD in production right now

If your open to to scrypt based miners, I just finished development of my second version of my USB Moonlander miner using a brand new scrypt chip.

The utility of these can't really be measure in months to ROI They are designed for people that don't have the means, or can't have a huge loud hot miner in their room. Its a great way to get into mining, learn about crypto, and get your friends into mining and spear the word about Litecoin etc.

With that being said these are definitely the most profitable USB miners in recent memory. My original moonlander I think had a 10 month + ROI on launch, and the only other USB miner on the market is Sidehacks that does about $1 per month in BTC profit.

I don't currently have an Asia region distributor, but all my distributors can ship anywhere, it will just cost a bit to ship worldwide.

If you have multiple hubs you can connect as many as you can :p Keep in mind that if you run these at the higher end they will draw 5-10 watts so you need a powered USB hub to run them reliably.

Yea its pretty crazy that this single chip can hash just as fast as the G-blades from a few years ago at under 10 watts

Thanks, but I have HolyBitcoin and ASICPuppy handling distribution in NA for me. The pre-order is first come first serve for low quantity orders. My distributors have enough units to handle the demand, but these will most likely sell out regardless since I can't make tens of thousands like Bitmain :p Hopefully after this run ill have enough resources to expand production and order more chips

For everyone posting how many they want, while I appreciate the interest, keep in mind that I'm not handling the pre-orders directly like I posted, keep an eye out in this thread this week. ill give at least a 24 hour notice before pre-order links go up, and its first come first serve as soon as the links go live.

I worked with gstoner at AMD to fix this on linux side. Donations welcome

Once pre-orders open end of this week they will remain open until the initial batch is sold out. Cant really say how long that will last, but the original sold out of the roughly 1k units pretty quickly...probably will be even faster this time around.

I could main issue is that Luke wants me to merge this driver into mainline, and it would not be very clean two have two separate drivers for the same "product" on the mainline branch. Im still working on the driver since right now it just has basic functionality. Ill re-think how I want to approach supporting both sticks. Either way I can always release merged driver on my repo, and have just Moonlander 2 support going foward on Luke's main branch.
