I'm having the same issue with mine. I have 2, and they ran beautifully at 832 and 876 for several days... Now they run for abut an hour and i get the same error, on both of them and I'v drooped the frequency several times. I'm running a 60w powered hub, so that shouldn't be the issue right? I'm going to tinker and try them on the pc ports and see if it makes a difference.

woh thats impressive...how are you running so many at max speed for nearly 5 days that stable?? I don't even think I have achieved that in my tests. What kind of hub do you have? lol I'm using 4 Anker hubs with 2 on each, they just aren't stable with more than 2 on each one. All are daisy chained together going to one USB port on the computer. These things just are so ragged edge on USB power consumption when turned up that this is the only way I've been able to get reliable performance. I tried a few different hubs previously and they were worse than these. I ran into something else interesting along the way the other day when I got the last pair of these. I had been running them on a USB2 bus and the 6 were always fine at full speed. After stepping up to 8 of them, I'd consistently see one slow down after a while. Moving them over to the USB3 bus of the same system fixed that. I wouldn't think the USB2 bus was saturated, so I don't really know why. https://image.ibb.co/f5wQwH/IMG_20180205_012449.jpg

For some reason I'm having trouble getting my moonlanders running. I bought two of them along with one of the recommended powered USB hubs. They are showing up in Device Manager and the fans are running along with the green power light. I installed the driver from the link provided and also downloaded the recommended BFG miner, but when I fire up the BFG miner, it doesn't recognize the moonlanders. It sits there saying " [2018-02-05 13:23:18] Waiting for devices; press 'M+' to add, or 'Q' to quit" for a minute, and then goes to this screen: bfgminer version 5.4.2-38-g106390a99 - Started: [2018-02-05 13:23:52] - [ 0 days 00:00:12] [M]anage devices [P]ool management [S]ettings [D]isplay options [H]elp [Q]uit Pool 0: scrypt.mine.zpool.c Diff: +Strtm LU: User:DC24yMHybGTkPhPw1rBdQVmvdqVvpeL9Tv Block: ...0000000000000000 Diff: () Started: I:?

Personally I would uninstall drivers, install them again, check, and use Zadig to play with drivers see if you can change it/fix it. Did you used bfgminer from link in first post of this thread as well? I installed mine yesterday, Windows 10 64bit, installed drivers, installed bfgminer, clicked run and they are running since then without any problems.

I ran into something else interesting along the way the other day when I got the last pair of these. I had been running them on a USB2 bus and the 6 were always fine at full speed. After stepping up to 8 of them, I'd consistently see one slow down after a while. Moving them over to the USB3 bus of the same system fixed that. I wouldn't think the USB2 bus was saturated, so I don't really know why.
* Are you using external fans?? I could not see it so quickly from your picture. If not, have you measured your ASIC temperatur (small heatsink)? * Why are you using 4 of these hubs with just 2 MLDs each if you had both a USB2 and a USB3 hub that (I understand from your message) could take all 8 in one go?? (where only the USB3 gives all units at full speed)? * I have similar issues with running a certain number of MLDs just fine, and adding one or two more one or two units slowing down. It has been suggested it is an issue with USB hub getting 'stuck'. However, I am close to certain that on my hub it is a power issue and it could be that the powerlines in your USB 3 hub are either fatter or differently laid out on the PCB. It maybe takes a small additional voltage drop to cause problems. These babies draw a lot of current. That's my experience. But whatever the cause, I have seen similar things too. Great stuff. I am running 6 at 924Mhz and another 5 at 832Mhz (for the above reasons; all on one USB3 hub). Getting about the same as you, slightly less. I also have slightly higher hw rates (but then I tuned core voltage down as much as possible to reduce power and heat).

All the hubs are the exact same USB3 hub, all of which were connected to a USB2 port on the computer initially, but when seeing one slow down after upgrading from 6 to 8 units, I moved the connection to a USB3 port which resolved that. You may have better luck using more than one hub, I certainly have.

Set frequency to 384, and let me know if you see any yellow and red LED flashing as soon as your startup bfgminer. Also try running just one plugged directly into your computer USB port to rule out any issues with hub etc.

I use eyeboot's hubs for my testing as well and unfortunately its the one drawback of them. The ports themselves are not of the best quality, and with the vibrations of the fan they sometimes lose USB contact with the pins and causes this error.

The RPi3 doesn't have enough current to supply the moonlander to run. Check this thread for options for a good usb hub.

^ ahh sorry yes misread the comment. Saw eyeboot and thought you were talking about getting a hub from him. Yes if you plugged it directly into the Pi, thats your problem. The pi is cutting off the stick due to drawing to much power which a direct connection to the Pi can't handle.

Hi all guys!
as sad before i'm newish and completely virgin (!) about mining (well,taking apart some try mining some litecoin using minerd).
I have freshly received my new bright Moonlander 2 .....and well...i have some problem:
I'm using a MacBook 13" late 2008, OS x 10.11.6 and X code 8.2.1
I ran all the installation of the driver and the bfgminer,when i launch i receive this message:
Last login: Tue Feb 6 16:59:17 on ttys001 macbook-di-daniele-ermini:~ danieleermini$ /Applications/bfgminer-5.4.2-futurebit2-mac64/start-moonlander-2 ; exit; dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _clock_gettime Referenced from: /Applications/bfgminer-5.4.2-futurebit2-mac64/bin/./bfgminer Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

jstefanop told me that the only working os x are 10.11 and 10.12 (i can't update my machine to 10.12,it was too old).
Anyone had the same issue and was able to fix it?
thank you very much.
ps: the stick run perfectly under my office windows pc......hell.....

New image worked first time. Haven't tried anything crazy yet. I will start cranking them up over the weekend. Do you mind sharing the details of your hub? I bought two Sipolar A-400 and after about two months of use, both power plugs are acting up. Won't get power if you stick it in all the way. Trying to see if I can find a cheaper alternative that is reliable up 150W (10 devices).

. I noticed you updated bfgminer to 5.5 for your fork. 1) Will you be releasing new binaries soon? Any advantage to 5.5 for ML2 users? 2) Can we configure to include GPU with your fork?

Sorry you can't upgrade to 10.11. I tried my best compile using brew but I was unsuccessful. You might scour some of the other github repos and they may have better steps for compiling for macOS. It was kind of a pain to compile cgminer, xmr-stak-amd/cpu, and I gave up on bfgminer 5.4.2

I mean,i will install Virtual Box and inside it Windows 10,now.....moonlander could work? Or it need an “hardware” machine to run? Thank you
