I just got my first miner today and I have spent last few hours with NO RESULTS I got a Virus warning from AVG when I opened BFGMINER from this thread a Malware Gen it says I attached s screen capture... below is my batch file and I keep getting host unresolved error even when I run the test bat that came with the program the Start_Moonlander2 gives same host unresolved. I cut and paste my pool address and bat file was created by their config generator on their site so I don't see why I get these errors here is my info: user is rwg4th miner is Mack and his password is jingle all in the bat file below... where am I going wrong? and is that really a virus or is it false positive? I can't attach image it seems but I'll upload it somewhere if you want or just scan bfgminer with AVG and you will see its got a Win64 malware gen virus
bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.aikapool.com:7915 -u rwg4th.Mack -p jingle
and again I tried to mine NYC Coin which is also a scrypt and I mine there using CPU already so I know this address is good but still I get "Unresolved host" error
bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://eu1.altminer.net:3433 -u RQkUXUFfDHR9u8wxG9vRjwyhq8YvzmuXQT -p c=NYC
where username is wallet address and password is NYC for new york coin this works fine in CPUMiner with same address so unresolved doesn't make sense maybe the card is defective? the driver loaded ok and its shown in printers and devices with no exclamation mark looks ok there can't find where it went in device manager I saw it when drivers weren't all in yet and after I updated drivers it disappeared and I opened all groups but didn't see it anywhere (which group should it be in?)
it will be a false positive. most virus scanners flag up mining software as malware. host unresolved would normally mean your mining pool is type the pool and port into your browser to check that. Add pause to the end of your bat file, then it will not close automatically in the event of an error maybe an error with your mining pool settings i suspect or antivirus blocking bfgminer. you can disable the virus scanner and try again

Hello,
I have 10 MLDs on a powered USB data hub. Everything seems to be working fine at the moment... What I am looking to find out is, can I make each MLD a separate worker? Anyone know how to do that (if possible)?
thanks George
do u mean each MLD mine different coin? or each using different worker name? if its about different coin, u can try check page 45. if worker name just edit like a normal .bat file ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) No, I mean same coin each using different worker name. XXX.1 XXX.2, etc. thanks!

Hello,
I have 5 MLDs mining at about 23MH total, so I am doing fine... They are setup on a high powered usb hub connected to my laptop. I setup the BFGminer on my Rasperry Pi (as I want to have that be my permanent solution), but after about 5 or so minutes of the MLDs being connected, the hashrate drops dramatically... to around 17MH/sec. Anyone experience anything like this? It happens very consistently ... when I connect back to my laptop, works fine for days straight...
thanks

... I will start up bfg, they all will connect and hash, after about 2-4 minutes it will say Pool 0 interrupted and they will stop hashing. ... what could the issue be? im using bfg for moonlander 5.4.2. anyone have any thoughts/ideas?
Network connection. There are a lot of google hits on 'pool 0 interrupted' (not related specifically to MLD or BFGMiner). so you are saying it has to do with my internet connection? Yes those errors are either related with a pool issue or network issue. If anyone is having this issue, I have written a bat file that can help you until you get your internet fixed. @echo off :loop start thisismybatfile.bat ... timeout /t 130 >null taskkill /f /im bfgminer.exe >nul goto loop if anyone see's an issue with this please let me know!

Try lowering the frequency on the sticks that are slowing down, or increase their core/mem voltage. Next drive release will have additional checks for slow sticks that will be restarted as well (currently it only checks if a stick has stopped hashing).

I've experienced also wierd behaviour when moved to PI. In my case the sticks start hashing at very low rate (like 300 kH each, some even shows 0 from start) .. but it slowly keeps growing and it takes few minutes to get into full hashrate. Never notice such behave when using them in PC ports. I assume the issue could be temps. They are now in cold enviroment, so probably need to get warm up. Other idea it's because it runs over wifi now. But no big issue as my sticks runs steadily for long time. Just wanted to share. I've heard that to many sticks set with too low difficulty can cause network issues. Are you running them over wifi?

Oh boy. I seem to be having trouble with the small heatsinks. The tape is splitting when I try to pull off the protective layer.
Any tips?
Any recommendations for replacement tape or heatsinks?

Starts off strong, and then just dies over about 20 minutes. I've tried wifi and eth, with same results. Brand new Pi that I have tried to reimage with Raspian twice to make sure no OS error. Very strange... George

Ok, I have to apologize for my dumb-assery. Turns out I was splitting the paper film on top of the adhesive. I thought I was splitting the adhesive.... I just had to peel a little more off. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) I'm all good, sorry for the false alarm, and Thanks for all the fast responses... 4 more ML2 are live in the field! Oh boy. I seem to be having trouble with the small heatsinks. The tape is splitting when I try to pull off the protective layer.
Any tips?

Well I finally got my ball bearing fans in for the stock replacements.
They work well but they are extremely loud compared to the stock sleeve fan.
They are the same type/brand as the stock fan, just ball bearing, direct replacement.
You probably bought one that is really high RPM...these fans can go up to 15k RPM. You only need about 7-10k RPM to properly cool these. Stock fans run around 9-11k. would a 8000rpm fan cool the sticks sufficiently at 5 MH/s http://gdstime.com/product/?99_471.html

That is s sleeve bearing. Unless yours are REALLY noisy, no reason to replace with this one. Well I finally got my ball bearing fans in for the stock replacements.

yes, it was plenty. I filled the holes like in your photo. Scraped off as much as possible . Then I cleaned up a square around the holes with a q-tip and isopropyl alchohol. also, I noticed the new moonlanders have "lines" on the back of the board showing where the heatsink should be attached. Nice touch. Looks like the large heatsink is perfectly centered around the chip on the other side. Mine are all running strong @700 right out of the box, under .5% error rate, I'll tune them later tonight for MOAR SPEED! If your putting on thermal material its only to fill in the via holes, please check the assembly instructions...that is way more than enough. Don't put a layer on there like you would with a CPU otherwise the heatsink wont stick and it will fall off and you'll most likely be left with a fried miner.

I am having a strange issue.
I am unable to adjust the clockspeed on my miner if I set it to anything other than 800 it fails to hash anything and stops responding here are my settings bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://poolurl.com:4224 -u bla.user -p password --no-longpoll -S MLD:\\.\COM5 --set MLD:clock=800 --verbose
This seems to be the only setting that works, If I set it higher, or lower it fails to respond. 800 is not even in your list of preset clock speeds. I've adjusted the power, lowered it, raised it, not difference. It is hashing at about 3.4Mh/s with HW:251/.20% in the last 21hrs.

What do you mean it fails to respond? At 3.4mh your defaulting to stock speed of 600mhz. Sounds like your not editing the clock speed correctly?
