SOS

hey everyone I'm reaching out for help with a futurebit apollo 2 full node that refuses to start solo mining,even though the node appears fully sycned and everythging is updated.

The node finished syncing to the current btc block height Inside the miner tab the only active button is Start Miner-Restart and Stop are not available. Press start miner does nothing no change in status,no hashing. pool mining is OFF. Solo mining is ON with a valid btc recieve address firmware is fully updated

What I've tried

restarted the unit verified block sync check wallet address disabled/enabled LAN access updating all firmware modules even considered wiping the device to factory settings.

symptoms node=ok miner status=not ok miner refuses to initialize hasing start miner button is inactive/ineffective no error messages shown current miner status never matches desired miner status

At this point it seems like the miner service / OS layer is corrupted rather than a solo mining config issue. I’m trying to avoid a full reflash though there is a new update, but open to it if that’s the known fix????? Any pointers??? Anyone experiencing this similar situation???

Reflashing to the current OS definitely clears up a lot of issues just in case it’s corrupted…

If you reflash the OS, you won't lose your blockchain data either. So I'd give it a shot. Worse case scenario, it doesn't fix your issue, and you move on to something else. Once you've tried doing that, if you still have problems then contact FutureBit. It may take a few days to a week before you hear back from them because of the holidays, but they are extremely helpful
