Official FutureBit Moonlander 2 Driver and Support Thread

This is on a Mac? Open a terminal and type

ls /dev/cu.SLAB*

You should see the port numbers of the moonlanders you have in your system, then you add each with an -S flag in your start file. What you have in there now won't work.

ie -S MLD:/dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART1 -S MLD:/dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART2 etc.

Just fired up my Moonlanders again for giggles!
Got 4 of 6 running real easy.  The other 2 show the green LED but cant see them.  Any clues?

Hi,

With the craze of Dogecoin and all the stock stuff, I took my Moonlander 2's out of the closet.

I set all the Moonlander software and I am good to go when mining through a pool.

I have also downloaded the Dogecoin-qt wallet to Mac OS.
It is synced with the network.

I am having trouble connecting the Moonlander 2's to my Dogecoin wallet.
it just doesn't work.


Do I need to have dogecoind going?
(honestly, not even sure what it is)

Anyway, any help would be super appreciated!!!

Trying to get the ML2 up and running on a Raspberry Pi 3.

From a fresh OS install, I followed @Astrali instructions from the first page of this thread to the letter.

I get this error.

pi@raspberrypi:~/miner $ cd bfgminer_5.4.2-futurebit2_linux_armv6
pi@raspberrypi:~/miner/bfgminer_5.4.2-futurebit2_linux_armv6 $ sudo ./start_moonlander2.sh
./bfgminer: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
pi@raspberrypi:~/miner/bfgminer_5.4.2-futurebit2_linux_armv6 $

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance.

Moriaville,

Install the following:

sudo apt install libncurses5 libncurses5-dev

Yes! That did it! Thanks so much.

Are these doing $0.02 per day? Is it profitable or am I missing something?

[Sparkz77]

I'm, getting 0.0002 Ł a day on litecoinpool.org with two of them running at 4Mh/s each.
So about 0.02 USD a day each, yes.

Hey guys,

i have a Problem, i got 2 Moonlanders today i want to run them on my Pi4 but BFG Miner keeps saying NO DEVICE FOUND.

When i try to add one manually the orange LED on the Moonlander blinks once but nothing happens.

Does anyone have an Idea?

What a great return, Are you saying rented it for 2 days, and returned about $1.50.
Is that through your referral link, if so i must try it

Yes, and I didn't sold the BTC.
It's the MRR reflink. Register, put in your current pool + couple backup pools.
Just set price 2-5x the average ...  someone still buys it time to time.

Is there a 32-bit version of the driver? I only have two miners and want to run them on an old computer but it's running 32-bit Vista...

Hi,

I bought the Moonlander 2 and tried getting it up and ready on my pi 3 using the following tutorials:
https://jonjones.co/blog/mining-moonlander-2-raspberry-pi/
https://steemit.com/raspberry/@qctechno/howto-install-futurebit-moonlander-2-usb-scrypt-miner-with-raspberrypi-3

But I always get this error when I try to run "./moonlander.sh" or "./bfgminer --help":
_{./bfgminer: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory}


I then tried installing "libncurses.so.5" and all other libncurses libs and got the following error:
_{E: Unable to locate package lib32ncurses5}


Can anybody help me fix this and get the Moonlander 2 running?

Hi,

i like many others have been trying to setup a Raspberry pi, mine it with a TTBit but from what i can work out they are the same as the Moonlander2 .  i do have mine working but BFGMiner keeps closing down.

First a little history, i have tested the ASIC using BFGminer on a windows PC and it worked flawless for several weeks. that PC is now mining with GPU so i needed to find an alternative. i first went with a PI 3 which i soon realised couldn't handle the power on its own USB.  i had a Pi 4 which did work and initially showed up the problem where is closes.  i then tried a beaglebone black, which only has USB 2 so that was the same as the pi 3.  i then got a powered USB hub and tried it again on the Pi 4 and the problem is still there, i then tried it on the BBB with the powered hub and it works but then closes the same as on the pi 4.

so the problem is that it closes anywhere between 30 and 45 mins with a segmentation fault, see below.  this is driving me crazy because i know it works on windows.  help!
