[ANN] FutureBit Moonlander 2: The Most Powerful and Efficient USB Stick Miner!

[mordlust]

Received mine a couple days ago.  Had it up and running extremely quickly.  Set the clock to 796 and it's been running stable at 4.54 mh/s for a day and a half with less than half a percent hardware errors.

Great little stick.  Really looking forward to your next (hopefully bigger) project.

Hey All, I'm getting restarts and unrecognized response using an older laptop and a powered hub.  Any ideas how I can get this more stable?  My pots adjusted a bit higher at .79v and set to 756 in the bat file?  And for some reason I have mld 0 and mld 1.  Im only running one stick.  I have a mac setup running another stick just to compare and don't have the secondary mld.

see if they each run ok alone.  If so you probably are not supplying enough power, your hub may be suspect.

Make sure they both are tuned to run how you want them standalone so you can rule out issues with the moonlander itself.

my USB mining rig! using RPi2 - 20mh/s pretty chuffed with the result! pulls 37watts.

does anyone know if its possible to force more AMPS though a USB hub then it is rated at? of coruse to not change the voltage.. (5v)

i am mining on litecoin.miningpoolhub.com, anyone found a better pool?

so i was about to get 10 and says backorder any clue as to when they would arrive guesstamate if i order them at this point ?

Not wise IMO. More amps = more heat = increased fire hazard. Those cheaper hubs are made with just the bare minimum of quality in parts and aren't really made for running these ASIC's .

Got to get serious and get yourself one of these - Block Erupter 49 Port USB 2.0 Hub 110/220V ATX

[PsychoShaft]

the hubs i have are rated to 3A and they are not the cheap super super Chinese ones, i bought the D-link 7 port hubs. i am going to see if i can put 5A thought it and get back to you.

Have 11 running stable Using 796 clock speed not change to any of the Pots

[hercthx]

I've got the exact same setup, and can confirm! same hashing rate spread on us2. I put a 200mm coolermaster fan over them for some extra cooling.

[aballen]

I'm curious as well.  What about tuning bfgminer to get a higher hashrate?  I would love to tune mine to run at cool 5k, I like round numbers 

Anyone get their Moonlander 2 miners to hash at 5Mhs plus?
What was the max hash speed you can obtain with settings?

Mem Voltage = ?
Core Voltage = ?
Frequency =?
Difficulty = ?
Hardware Errors % = ?


I have been getting just over 5Mhs with the following, 5v @10amp
supply and extra usb fan cooling pulling about 13.6 watts each total
68 watts on my Kill A Watt meter for 5 Moonlanders 2's.

Mem Voltage = approx 0.85v (trim pot R5)
Core Voltage = approx 0.82v (trim pot R9)
Frequency = 852 (in bat file)
Difficulty = 1024 (in bat file)
Hardware Errors <1%

Looks great!  I'm hoping to get a few of these in the near future, they look pretty fun to have running and it'll make a change from GPUs everywhere

You can, higher freq of 876 gets me around 5Mh each, adjustment of Core pot
1/8 turn more, Memory stock setting and 5vdc @ 10amp external supply.

Plowed through 33 pages of this thread . .  Is there a "general" hub that is recommended for running multiple sticks?

there are a few good hubs  all over 100 bucks

I have the Eyeboot 19 port hubs coming but I am using a 7 port Plugable to test / setup with.

[Flapmin]

are there any left?

[jstefanop]

are there any left?

Check out the order thread linked in OP, Batch 2 is mostly sold out but some distributors still have a few left.

[BTC22]

I did not read through all 33 pages, but what is everyone mining with them and what is your monthly mine?

[thomasvk]

are there any left?

I live in Belgium, ordered mine at the australian webshop, it ships worldwide.

[blaszek]

Hi guys,
I have ordered 4 moonlanders, just can't wait to put my hands on them.
I have a question to you guys, can someone who already owns that little bad boy tell me is a fun much louder when miner is pushed to 5Mh comparing to stock settings?
