Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread

[pyroandy]

Today I have a special announcement. Thank you for everyone that bought a Moonlander 2, I am finally enabling ASICBOOST for everyone! Simply add "--enable_boost 1" at the end of the Moonlander config file, and your hashrate will double!

Sorry for not sharing this sooner, but we had to secretly mine double the speed to recoup all our dev costs 

Would it be a Moonlander 4 then?

Sounds more like self destruct mode

I thought somewhere in the long lengthy thread that someone posted the optimum settings for the highest efficiency for these Moonlanders.
Does anyone recall that?
I when thru the thread again and could not seem to find it.

Only one I'm aware is in OP (search for: sweet spot).
But IMO it's not universal (each of my sticks has a bit different setting to keep the same level of HW errors .. had to tinker them individualy).

@jstefanop  good one with the asicboost. I bet you fooled few users.

Thanks found it in the very first post. Under the Tuning section. Core voltage .725V with a frequency of 756MHz.

Hi! one of my mld began to stop for 10 secs every now and then and it stops continuously. Had everyone the same issue? I didn't change the config and worked for weeks until now. Alternatives? Thanks

Could a power problem. Can you measure the voltage/current? maybe try another hub

Is anyone else having issues mining at prohashing.com?

This is the command I am using

bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3333 -u stockfadi -p a=scrypt,d=128 -S MLD:all --set MLD:clock=832
pause


I am able to connect the the pool, but no shares are being hashed ..

What the hell am I doing wrong?


"Configure your settings by going to the settings tab
Configure payout proportions and payout addresses
Use the "a=" password argument to select the algorithm your miner supports.
(optional) Set up electricity usage tracking and the "p=" and "w=" password arguments.
(optional) Set up U.S. dollar payouts or other available coins.
Point your miner toward prohashing.com:3333.
Use the same username as you use to log into the website.
Enter a blank password or use password arguments, which enable powerful features for controlling miners and mined coins.
Port 443 proxy server also available at proxy.prohashing.com:443 if your hosting provider blocks port 3333."


BTW! the same thing happens to me at Nicehash. .

worker diff is too high.. some pools just wont work with these.

The pool difficulty is too high for these moonlanders? is there a "highest" difficulty setting for these moonlanders? They come with a stock 128 diff .. Is this something I can set up to try and get prohashing to work? or is it a lost cause

setting the difficulty at 512 / 768 works pretty well

you want low difficulty coins to mine or there are a few multipools with low difficulty ports you can use

ordered another 5, I know they will probably never give roi other than with the luck factor but I really like em.
can't wait for jstefanops' next creation

Yeah! It's still not hashing . .I let it run for about 15 minutes and it only accepted 3 shares from 6 moonlanders

[scoobysportD]

I'm running diff 1024 and working fine on most pools. For some reason 1 pool gives a lot of stale and rejected errors and hashing slows down to less than 4 mhs, while on other pools i get about 5 mhs.

hub should arrive today I should be able to send you photo's later (of the hub  )

yea 1024 works fine I had problems with some of the pools I was using switching too often, so I went lower to submit more shares on average.

what are you trying to mine?

[thestockfadi]

I just want to mine whatever and get paid out in btc

[thestockfadi]

If anyone can recommend a pool which I can use my Moonlanders to mine scrypt algo coins and get paid out in BTC besides prohashing and nicehash? Also I found this pool but had the same issue https://pool.gigarho.com/

i havent found one that really works.. but to be honest its not really practical.. these things will make like a dollar a month.. its best to put them on a solo pool and hope to get lucky or mine a very low diff alt coin and hold them in hopes the coins value really takes off.. i been mining verge coin with mine, but the diff has gotten really high in the last few days, think im going to switch to digibyte

works pretty well, you're damn right about btc payouts would take ages but when I'm mining here I set payouts to ltc/xvg/doge depending on price xvg is getting too expensive and DOGE is well too pricey atm so I've been on a flappy pool for a couple of days

The armv6 build https://github.com/jstefanop/bfgminer/releases/download/bfgminer-5.4.2-futurebit2-beta2/bfgminer_5.4.2-futurebit2_linux_armv6.tar.gz
Does not work, bash says : bfgminer: No such file found.

This possibly and architecture issue?
I wish you actually make the source of this driver and bfgminer available as a .git
Cannot autogen the source the way you have it.

This is painful because lowering power costs, requires lots of Pi.
