FutureBit Moonlander 2 USB Hubs Thread

[YoutubeChannel007]

Industrial mining requires some space and there are few people who wants to mine.

The coin flip is also a thing and there are people who are profiting from it.

There is no point calling anything junk especially when you have no idea who crypto works.

Moonlander 2 still can give profit now?
how much can i get with just 1 stick?

[kkrectorden]

There are people buying and selling the large quantities and that is what the post also says.

What I hope for is that FutureBit Moonlander 2 devices will mine DEFCOINs.  The PoW is scrypt-jane, whatever that is (a combination of algorithms not just e.g. SHA256?) and it seems that regular scrypt mining works for DEFCOIN.  I've tried with cpu mining and just giving the miners --scrypt is fine, so these devices should work.

So, I'm definitely giving this a try.

I'm starting with 3 devices and I need a hub, but I'd like a hub that can eventually power 10 FutureBit Moonlander 2 USB sticks.

Are there any special considerations for these hubs in Australia?  Or will any just work by plugging into a laptop?  How many USB (2? 3? other?) ports do I need to plug in a hub?

I have an extension device, an Alogic that plugs into a smaller port on the side of my laptop to give me an extra external monitor port, ethernet port, dvi port, and 2 USB ports, along with SD card reader.  Will this do the trick, if anyone knows?  Could I plug a hub into this, or will I need a spare USB port on my laptop to plug in the hub?

Thanks for any info.

If anyones intersted, GekkoScience 7 Port Base Hubs are now a thing.
https://www.419mining.com/shop/cables/gekkoscience-7-port-base-hub/
make sure you get a power supply for them as well.
We currently have 7A hubs in stock, while you cant max out 6 sticks at at 650Mhz, it should get you up there. As soon as we finish our testing, i can post more specifics.

9A would be idea, but make sure you get good quality. or run on a 6pin computer power supply.

I'm currently running 5 Moonlanders on this bad boy. there is room for a 6th.

I have bought and tested a lot of these usb hubs on amazon and this one is the best I've found. No more "asic stopped hashing attempting to restart" errors. even after overclocking.


Happy mining!

Dayday

I noticed thro the search there used to be some defcoin miners here - I just deployed p2pool network couple weeks ago and now polished v2 of the core - https://github.com/charlesrocket/defcoin/releases/tag/v2.0.0-rc1
so there might be new spots to point the sticks

Hi,

Got a Pi and 3x Moonlanders.

I want to power them with stock settings, what is the lowest powered Hub that will allow me to mine 3x Moonlanders with the Raspberry Pi?

I'm not using mains, looking to integrate with an existing solar setup, so need the lowest possible way to power and mine with 3x Moonlanders from a Raspberry Pi.

Any ideas which hub will do this? I tried a 3 Port Belkin non-powered USB hub and it doesn't detect even one of the Moonlanders.

Anyone found a non-powered USB hub that can handle 2 or 3 Moonlanders without external power?
