[ANN] FutureBit MoonLander: A Modern and Efficient Scrypt USB Stick Miner!

[wlefever]

Driver is up on my github page btw for anyone that does not trust pre-compiled binaries...guess I should throw up the binary released on there as well.

BTW stay tuned for some cool stuff

A pod coming???

I acquired a v1.1 "prototype/reviewer" board and the heat sink does not appear to be working (cold in thermal camera).  I want to remove it and reapply.

What is the safest way to dislodge the current heatsink?  Is it strickly held on by thermal tape or some other bonding agent?

if the heatsink is shiney or just aluminum it will appear cold in the thermal camera.

I'll take a couple too!  Really excited about these.

Me three! Damn that's exciting. I'm interested in a few for sure. Hope the device works with RPi easier than the last batch. Only got it to work on my Windows machine at work

my 8 work just fine on my rpi running minera.
i had to plug them in like this
4 on a superbpag > usb 2.0 hub > rpi
4 on a superbpag >


you also have to make sure to turn the hubs on first to power the moonlander usbs before you power on the rpi.

When will you accept pre-orders?
What's the estimated price?
What payment methods will you accept?

Thank you in advance.

Is there a method to set clock speed by serial number as with the gridseeds?  Unfortunately, my USB0~USB3 are rotating on me, and I cannot get 1 of the devices on a different clock speed.  Or if anyone knows how to keep the USB0 to stay USB0 on a raspberry using a superbpag=)

Code:

--scrypt -S MLD:/dev/ttyUSB0 -S MLD:/dev/ttyUSB1 -S MLD:/dev/ttyUSB2 -S MLD:/dev/ttyUSB3 --set MLD@/dev/ttyUSB0:clock=352 --set MLD@/dev/ttyUSB1:clock=352 --set MLD@/dev/ttyUSB2:clock=336 --set MLD@/dev/ttyUSB3:clock=352  --queue 0

i dont think you can set these different speeds.. there is no way to know what usb# the device gets and there is no way to set by serial number.
