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

[thestockfadi]

Just curious for those with Moonlander v2's here...

What settings so far has produced the best hash rates with most efficient power consumption so far?  Still tinkering some with mine, but "out of the box" between 4Mh/s to 4.4Mh/s at 756MHz.

Using a Sipolar 20 port USB 3.0 HUB here as well at the recommendation of ozcointrader.  Nicely spaced and good airflow for x12 roughly a hub.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not even using one of those Sipolar hubs. I use 2 pluggable hubs ..  2 sticks in each hub (can fit 1 more stick in each hub with no space/power/heat issues) with one fan cooling 2 sticks. . I have not made any modifications except going to 756Mhz. I am hashing at a cool 4.2 Mhz . . no mods to the pots. https://ibb.co/hAgSp6

I have x10 Moonlander v2's here, hence the Sipolar route.    

So you are at 765MHz then vs. 756MHz.  What is the power draw if you do not mind sharing?

Thanks in advance.

Curious what everyone is mining with theirs? I have had it running litecoinpool stable for a long time. Recently tried to get lcdice lottery but can't get that thing to run stable at all. Tried verge and failed to get it stable. Currently running litecoinpool again.
What are you running? Im looking for a more valuable option.

Making more running on multipool.us than litecoinpool . they can mine different altcoins automatically based on profitability.

I'm a fan of litecoinpool

Checked out most re-sellers in the OP but most of them sold out.

Could someone kindly point to reputable shops that still have these babies and willing to ship to Australia? Or maybe someone wouldn't mind selling 1 to me?

Thanks.

Yup no kidding. Id be glad to have one myself. Bittawmart still had them yesterday or so but only accepted crypto as payment, no other payment was accepted. Great timing.....

People are scalping them on Ebay too. Might have to just get one and bite the bullet.

Man, those eBay prices... be a looooooong time for ROI if at all!

don't buy from resellers on ebay. There are plenty of authorized distributors who will have stock in the coming few weeks

Would the fans on these fair better if they were oriented differently? 

It is a sleeve bearing right?  I'm thinking it might be better if the usb hub sat on it side, so the fans could lay flat.

I run mine flat, not vertically but I have direct replacement ball bearing fans coming.

Sleeve bearings run better horizontal, if your run them vertically the perpendicular forces against the shaft will start wearing the sleeve bearing faster than normal and it will start vibrating more. Ive run these fans vertical and so far most of them are holding up fine after months of use.

[simi619]

So you know for any EU site selling USB-s for mining alt coin

[aballen]

yeah, thats what I thought.  sticking out of a computer/laptop, the fan site horizontal(flat), but attached to a hub, you have many orientations, depending on the hub.  I'll put my hub on its side when I get my new batch of moonlanders.

How much do you pay for a higher quality fan of that size ?
Are there decent models you can easily get off ebay in small qty ?

Do you have a list of those distributors? 

[Fenboy]

Only distributors I know of are HolyBitCoin and ASICPuppy. I'm watching both for Batch 2 stock (if any) and Batch 3 pre-order.

This is the sales thread - there is a list of distributors for each region, in post 1.

Does anybody know if this supports Scrypt-N coins?

[jstefanop]

Does anybody know if this supports Scrypt-N coins?

No this is solely a scrypt based miner. It can mine coins like Litecoin, Dogecoin, Verge, Gamecredits, digibyte etc.

Can I also use the Moonlander 1  with the newest software ??

Nope, check out the Moonlander thread for the most current software there.

[kcw-grunt]

Stratum Proxy server working for anyone?
I'm having a difficult time getting them setup in either Ubuntu or Mac...has anyone in 2017 - 2018 had it working?

[aballen]

Why use a stratum server?

How many moonlanders are you running?
