ill take 8 of these.


you said they will be smaller, thinner too? how many can you put on a hub? single space or double space?

The final PCB size will be similar to origonal moonlander. Even though this thing sips power on the lower end, it still needs a rather large heatsink for people that want to push it.

sweet i cant wait to get my hands on these, i love the 1st gen ones..

im going to have to get 2 more superbpag hubs so ill have 8 1st gen and 8 2nd gen..

will they use the same driver for bfgminer and run at the same time?

hmm didnt not think about that kind of use case...the drivers are actually not compatible either way, since ASICs are completely different. Youll most likely need to launch two diffrent instances of bfgminer to run them together.

hmm ill have to check it out.. so you are saying you cant just enable futurbit and futurbit2 and compile with both drivers?

Not personally, but im sure my distributors would be interested if you can send more sales their way.

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.

it would be cool if you can put v1 and v2 on the main branch so i can update bfgminer for the v1 sticks..

i tried to copy and paste the futurebit.c driver in the newest bfgminer but it wouldnt compile.

i didnt really try too hard tho cause its working and i didnt want to break anything on my rpi.

I will take 2, will there be an order cut off date?

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.

[sil2222]

Ill take 2 .When do you think this will be posted for pre sale on Holybitcoin?

[Demi_Q]

I'll take 4 please!

[sunk818]

Have you considered Amazon FBA? Not the cheapest but they scale well. If you need help shipping product, I'd be happy to help in California. I used to run a mail order e-commerce business so I know how to ship in bulk.

I'd like two.

Do you prioritize individuals that order low quantity first or is this first come first served? Im just curious how you might handle not enough supply for demand.

[terrence2074]

reserve 5

[mrgoldy]

woohooo!
Way to go!

I'm in for 8
4 for myself and 4 I plan to give out at xmas time

[ultralord]

Awesome. I got one of the version 1 moonlanders. Can't wait to try out this new batch.

[n00bminer]

Can't wait

[cryptocoinchecker]

Great announcement

Love to hear that.

I would like to preorder 60 sticks for the start.

I will shoot you a pm, with a few questions.

Greetings from Austria

[wwonka36]

Definitely want to reserve 5. Look forward to update.

[Fenboy]

Want to order 2 of these.

Can then retire my 5.8MHs (100w) G-Blade!

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.

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

[nomoco]

Hi,
still love my old moonlander an want to order 2 of the new ones!
