Installation of the BFGMiner Futurebit Branch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
We have made the BFGMiner Futurebit Branch available as binary versions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- a 64-bit binary version is available for download for MacOS:
bfgminer-5.4.2-FutureBit2-mac64.dmg<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nConfiguration of the BFGMiner for use with a mining pool<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For beginners we recommend registering with a Litecoin pool or the mining pool of another Scrypt-based crypto currency. We have had good experiences with litecoinpool.org<\/a> and Nicehash<\/a> and can recommend both of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Follow the instructions of your pool operator and set up a \u201cworker\u201d for your Moonlander 2. With workers you can monitor different miners individually and check statistics about the return and availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the installation directory of your BFGMiner there is a \u201cStart_Moonlander2\u201d file that you have to open with a text editor (e.g. nano) and adjust the pool data:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
.\/bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp:\/\/litecoinpool.org:3333 -u IhrUsername.1 -p 1,d=128 -S MLD:all --set MLD:clock=600\npause<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nYou can set the clock rate of the miner with the following command line parameter. As a start, a clock rate of 600 MHz is a good compromise between performance, power consumption ageing of your miner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
--set MLD:clock=xxx<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nPlease note that this version of the miner has a fixed list of frequencies available to use below: 384, 450, 480, 540, 576, 600, 612, 625, 636, 648, 660, 672, 684, 700, 720, 744, 756, 768, 796, 832, 852, 876, 900, 924, 954.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please note that higher clock rates cause a disproportionately higher power consumption. Your USB port or active USB hub must be able to provide the requested power, otherwise malfunctions will occur. Furthermore, high clock rates result in a high level of heat development, which is associated with a reduced life expectancy of your miner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The performance of the miner varies depending on the clock frequency and core voltage and can be approximately calculated using the following formula:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Performance in MH = 5.66 * MHz<\/li>
- Example MH = 5.66 * 832 => Miner runs with approx. 4.7 MH\/s (+-5%)<\/li>
- The higher the hashrate, the more the performance varies with the manufacturing tolerances of the ASICs used.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Finetuning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
One note in advance: The voltage adjustment may only be carried out very carefully and in small steps. Under no circumstances may values be set above or below the bandwidths specified here, as this can damage the ASIC chip. Please note that a miner damaged by faulty fine adjustment will not be replaced by us. The voltage is adjusted at your own risk.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the miner does not start at higher clock rates or produces an error rate of 100%, the (core) voltage must be adapted to the clock rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The miner has two voltage regulators for setting the core voltage and memory voltage. Core voltages of 0.625 V and 0.91 V and memory voltages of 0.65 to 1.05 V can be set for fine adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turning clockwise (readable with the inscription \u201cFuturebit Moonlander\u201d and the USB port pointing to the left) increases the voltage, counterclockwise reduces the voltage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
