I cannot figure out how to get it to work on my pi - so i brought it to the windows pc and this is what I get:




This is my first moonlander so not sure what the issue is.

Looks like something is wrong.
Is the stick brand new or you bought second hand?
Have you done any pot (voltage) adjustments?
Are you using powered USB hub?


or try this to check if miner is OK

Put "-D 2>log.txt" at the end of the bat command. Start it up and it will spit out the log.txt file in same directory.
In there you will see startup sequence and it checks for number of active cores. Should say 64.

sorry - I forgot to come back and post, it is working fine now. I had it placed in the usb port at the top of the tower - there was a portable drive in the second usb - once I removed the portable drive, the moonlander2 started working fine.

It has been running for about 6-7 hours and has earned 0.00002206 on litecoinpool.org

I am trying to find the best solo pool for one of these and then I am going to move it to a solo pool

OK, NP
Wish you good luck with solo. I had one mining solo LTC since begining (it's almost 2 years now).
As expected no hit ... but little compensation is I'm renting it pretty expensive (and still got some customer time to time.)

A month ago I rent single miner for 8 hours and got 0.0018 LTC.

well the moonlander did not make it long - I came home to find the usb part still plugged in but the rest of the miner on the ground - it fell apart

[MeJustMe]

Hi there, i have several moonlanders connected to a raspberry pi, unfortunately for some reasons the bfgminer crash time to time. Dont know if problem of connection or even lack of memory of rasp ( its model b+ lol ) .
its there any way to bfgminer restart for example if hash drop or even better lets say to restart every 6 hours for example ?

Hello and good evening. How are you? So random question. Is it possible to have a moonlander 2 act as a gpu? I would like to lower the frequency and mine some other altcoins besides scrypt based. Thank you

[MoparMiningLLC]

is this fixable with solder? or is it just garbage now?

[Lasergun]

is this fixable with solder?

Of course, you just need a USB A-type male plug:

thanks! i didnt even know what to call it lol

Umm how the hell did that happen? Impossible for it to just fall off without someone smashing into it while its plugged in.

it was on a laptop usb port that was sitting in the middle of a table so the stick was hanging out of the usb port horizontally but was also only 1/2" off the table top so no one really could run into it.  All I can figure is the weight of it was too much - it was like that for a few weeks before it snapped off.

I will try and repair it and put it in a usb hub that holds it upright.

just got my moonlanders and have been struggling to get them to connect to AntPool

I can mine on any other pool except antpool.  I Believe it is due to the url ( stratum+tcp://stratum-ltc.antpool.com:8888 ). i think the dash - is messing up the syntax or something. other pools i have tried do not have a dash in the url.

anyone find a way around this? happens on my mac, linux laptop, and ras pi.

Is this miner is available now on amazon and to other online store? and what are the coin is supporting this miner, is this capable to mine Ethereum? Is there anyone here already tried it or buy it? Let me know your experience in using it.  Thanks

you can buy them direct from the Futurebit site - https://shop.futurebit.io/products/moonlander-2-usb-stick-asic-miner-for-scrypt-algorithm-cryptocurrencies?variant=8651174445171

no, it cannot mine Ethereum - these miners are Scrypt algo

The one I had worked great - it is not a large money maker but it is perfect to learn mining on and doesn't cost anything to run basically.

you can not mine Ethereum directly, but...

try some multicoin-multialgo mining pools (for example zpool) to mine scrypt coins with low diff (for example Emerald ;-)) ) and get payed in ETH, BTC, DASH or similar major coins

Thanks for the info sir, I would like to try this one, by the way in your experience is this miner is easy to use? How about the hashrate and the power consumption for this miner? all we know that the antminer is a power hungry miner.

hey everyone, new here and just saw this, and was curious how to set this up and could i buy 7 and run them on a 7port usb port hub ? currently new and using only nicehash with gpus lol

you get (for the moment) 6sat BTC on a futurebit moonlander 2 with 5MH/s at 10watt
