Has anyone used eyeboot 49 port self powered hub for running these moonlanders? I was wondering how many of these moonlanders you can run on it, if anyone has experience with it.

This is what I use for testing the sticks before I ship them out. It can reliably run 20 or so before issues kick in, obviously depends on clocks etc.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Guys, I love this little USB sticks. I have few running in my spare PC with powered hub. I spreaded the word, and I actually re-sold some sticks to about 10 more people now. I am glad this idea of hobbyist mining is still alive and more people have a chance to learn about crypto once again. I may be a little tipsy because it's valentine's day and I've been out. But any way that's what I feel! Thanks for jstefanop to give us chance to participate:)

Hi received my Moonlander a couple of days ago. I work from home so my PC is on 12+ hours a day 5 days a week and less at the weekends. This is ideal as it uses very few resources. So far mined 0.00033LTC in 3 days running on the default settings it is running at around 3.2mhs, not going to make a fortune, and may never get the purchase price back but it is a bit of fun. What is the expected life of these running 24/7 but not overclocked??
They seem to be fussy on USB ports. My gaming PC has a couple of ports on the top which it doesn't like, runs great off the motherboard though. Would be interested in what results people with several are getting as I might try and buy one a month, depending on supply.

Anyone have success getting the moonlander2.sh script to auto launch after reboot within a terminal on raspberry pi 3?
I have no issues tuning the script manually but its not optimal.

Is it also capable of mining Neoscrypt (e.g. Feathercoin) ?

Not neoscrypt is not same as scrypt. neoscrypt is asic resistant - you use gpu to mine. moonlander 2 is a scrypt asic.

Do you know your way round linux?  Long as you can go to this website you can download the file unzip it and here's the funny part --  you'll need to "sudo ./(name of the file).sh" and it'll fire right up. 

I don't remember how to make a normal user run the miners without the sudo (you can google that).

Edit the .sh file so that you have your account info in there and that's it.  It's really not as bad as you think.

BTW, do you have a working pi?

FUTUREBIT MOONLANDER 2

Hi I’ve used minera before with Gridseed Blades but I have upgraded to FBML2.
I’ve been advised I can replace the BFGMiner for the FBML2 version.
I’m just after a few pointers to do it.
Thanks

You are $10 overpriced in comparision to the others that currently have stock.  

And bitshopper are selling them on Amazon for even more money. £99, which is roughly $138. Why so much???

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Scrypt-USB-Stick-bitshopper-Futurebit-Moonlander/dp/B075BP3QCN/ref=nav_custrec_signin?ie=UTF8&

Because they are greedy  Angry Just purchase from Bittawmart or Asicpuppy, I did before and it was all fine when imported to Europe.

Hello, I am new to mining and want to get started.
I am thinking of a portable (battery powered) rig so efficiency is my goal.
I am thinking using the Moonlander is the way to go.
I want to try and run some off a Rpi3B which seems to be the most efficient way to go and it has wireless connectivity.
I know I should not be running this direction of the pi because of power constraints but I don't want to add a hub which would lower my efficiency.
Looking at this for the last few days I know there are modes that can be done to the pi board to get more power out of the USB ports but not more than 2 amps total for the 4 ports. To get more power I would have to feed external power directly to the Moonlanders.
So my question is how many Moonlanders and at what current would I need to achieve maximum efficiency running them off a Rpi?

Please help!!

You are double posting in two different threads. Stick with one. Look at the answer on the other thread.

Speaking of non support related activity, I wanted to post this for a while and this reminded me.

So theoretically speaking with all the moonlander 2 hashing out there now, there should have been several blocks found by Moonlander 2s...and I'm sure one or two of those blocks are from solo people.

Definitely post up and let us know if you hit the jackpot and got 25 LTC out of a single moonlander 2. That would be a cool story!
