I forget where I got it from, but it could be the x86 build

interesting that x64 wouldn't be faster

OK Mr. Harding.
I received 2 FutureBit Moonlanders today! (YAY, I'm a tiny miner!)

Using bfgminer 5.4.0-13-gffef5b
I got them working on my eobot pool
bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://scrypt.eobot.com:4444 --userpass eobot.701708:x,d=16 -S MLD:all --set MLD:clock=112

But when I set them to prohashing, right at the top of bfgminer, (all pools are dead).
and then a constant
Coinbase check: multiple inputs in coinbase: 0x53 or 0xde or 0x5a
Pool 0 misbehaving (coinbase check), disabling!
bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3333 -u mrgoldy -p,d=16 -S MLD:all --set MLD:clock=112
not sure what I should set my difficulty to yet, 16 was the example in the binary download so I left it at that

Am I missing the "scrypt" in my password argument? because I thought that if you don't specify, the default is scrypt

im not good with bfgminer but try this

bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3333 -u mrgoldy -p "n=bfgminer a=scrypt" -S MLD:all --set MLD:clock=112

do you have a link to where to buy those miners

http://www.ebay.com/itm/201944578956?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT

and after I edited with your suggestion, I still get the
Pool 0 misbehaving (coinbase check), disabling!
It does try to refresh when Pool 0 is issuing work for an old block, but then goes back to (all pools are dead)

Just found this regarding coinbase check
append #skipcbcheck to pool URIs to disable it. http://savannah.nongnu.org/forum/forum. ... um_id=8088

bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3333/#xnsub#skipcbcheck -u mrgoldy -p "n=bfgminer a=scrypt" -S MLD:all --set MLD:clock=112

a few more references
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic ... msg8769054
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic ... sg15346341

fixed the all pools are dead, but still no accepted shares :cry:

supposedly this bfgminer 5.4.0-13-gff6ef5b was compile specific for this asic
and it is working on the eobot pool

I will try cgminer tomorrow, I need to get some sleep now

cgminer doesn't work, kept getting opencl errors. from what I saw in the readmes, it's a gpu miner

at first starting bfgminer, I am getting a bunch of issuing work for an old block. but I read here from Steve that: The purpose of this is to test your miner so that it can be assigned the coins that are most profitable for it.

Poor Connection

but after that, I don't get any accepted, just a bunch of new block/difficulty change to

bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3333/#xnsub#skipcbcheck -u mrgoldy -p ,d=64 -S MLD:all --set MLD:clock=112

and just an FYI, I went over to multipool, setup a worker, and it works fine over there.
but I'd rather stay at prohashing, as I like the format
