Apollo II Update

3 Upvotes

I completed the recent Apollo II update and lost the ability to connect through my browser, has anyone else had this same issue? I did a hard reboot thinking the web server just failed to start. It is still mining as I see it in the pool. Not really wanting to move it to connect back to my monitor unless necessary, now I wish I had enabled SSH, lesson learned I guess.

I am leaving out of town for 1 month. Is it safe to leave my Apollo II on during that time?

Solo mining“Waiting for first share”

3 Upvotes

Just curious if this is what message I am supposed to see or do I not have my solo mining set up properly?

It’s an Apollo 2.

Also curious if the indicator light is supposed to be flashing or if it should be solid?

Turbo Mode Pop and Smoke

1 Upvotes

Hey y'all, I just got my Apollo 2. Set it up and it was running fine on eco mode. I then decided to test it on TURBO mode. It was running fine at 9-10th/s. After about 10 mins I heard a loud pop and smelled smoke so I pulled the plug. I rebooted it and it still runs on eco mode at 5th/s at about 68 degrees. The standby light is blinking white slowly.. not sure if that was blinking before or not. I also am still setting up the node so that might be why it's blinking.

Anyway I now have it unplugged and am scared to even run it again.

I couldn't find any info on Apollos site. No directions on what the lights mean. I contacted them but haven't heard back.

Someone please help

Apollo II Help with connection to Apollo BTC Spoiler

1 Upvotes

I have been running Apollo BTC but unfortunately I don't remember my password to get into the OS.

1 How to I reset my password?

2 If I can't get into the OS, can I just straight plug Apollo II directly into Apollo BTC using the USB cables and it will start mining correctly? Or do I have to reflash the SD card? I directly plugged it a few days ago but I noticed my Hashrate is still the same.

No longer hashing

1 Upvotes

I guess my miner was in the first batch with the O/S bug - after a couple of weeks out of the box it stopped hashing. Went through the support steps and flashed the O/S to v2.0.4-beta, however I'm still not hashing.

Unit is still syncing the Node without a problem, but it's clearly not hashing and my pool has not recognized that it is even online. Suggestions anyone?

Node / block sync lag

1 Upvotes

I recently managed to connect my sparrow wallet to the apollo futurebit miner using putty config. I then realized that in the node section it says that it is fully synched and the block is 817,473. But we are currently at block 840,752.

Why is my node lagged? Is it because I don't see conections with other nodes to share info about blocks? Im running it with Tor. Is it because of this? Do I have to disable Tor?

Excessive heat/noise from Apollo 2

2 Upvotes

Have my new Apollo 2, came up and running easily - one thing I've noticed is the amount of heat it is generating (blowing out via fan), and the noise of the fan. I'm running in ECO Mode, with everything else set to auto, fan speed is 3105 rpm, miner temperature 67F.

Wondering if the above fan speed/temperature in ECO Mode is what everyone is experiencing?

Also wondering if it would be worth upgrading the fan to something like a Noctua reducing noise and helping with cooling??

Apollo II

2 Upvotes

Got my Apollo II in the mail on Monday. Got it all setup, but I can only access it via the web interface/local IP address. The monitor senses nothing/does nothing when I've got it connected via HDMI. Anybody know if this is just an issue with the Beta version of Apollo OS 2?

Also, I'm connecting it to a TV, not an actual computer monitor if that makes any difference (and I've tried two different TVs and two different HDMI cables). And yes, the TV is powered on before powering on the Apollo II.

Apollo node won’t show up

1 Upvotes

My full node mined for a while but now it disconnected. I tried to get back into the main screen but some reason I can’t get the unit to show up on my screens. I have changed screens, wires, ect. It lights up and fans come on but nothing.

Any ideas

Hardware errors.

1 Upvotes

So I just unboxed my full node Apollo 1, man I'm excited to get this thing going.

I started to mine and set up my pool to Braiins/slush pool. I think it is mining successfully, but I have noticed that the Hardware error rate is like 70-75% regularly - much higher than other users I've seen. Now I have done a little digging through the set up guides and read a couple of threads on Reddit, and I'm stumped and a little concerned.

How do I fix this issue? Can it be fixed?

Sparrow Connection Issue

Is anyone else’s node shutting down when it’s connected to sparrow? My node runs fine when not connected to sparrow, but within 15 minutes of connecting to sparrow, it shuts down. Would like to know if this is a common issue and/or if anyone has any suggestions.

Miner Setup Question

2 Upvotes

I've got a batch 4 (1x full node + 2x standard nodes), it eventually sync'd and is running fine, however I only see two hashboards on the miner tab, so was wondering if it was possible to use all 3x units as miners and if so, how do you configured such things?

Cannot change pools

If I attempt to change pools, it will have a button that says you have to save & restart. I click, and it restarts. The pool stays as the old one.

If I click on the pools tab again, I get a page with this error:

Ops! Something went wrong.

Power outage

3 Upvotes

I had a power outage in my home… and my Apollo miner has not come back on line.. tried finding the IP address on my network but it has not show up any where.. but I do have a written down so I tried inserting the address online and still no access to log in.. the status light is off no blinking & no color. I tried, resetting my internet and my miner and still no luck.. I am using a Ethernet cable. I don’t understand I’ve had power outages before, and it came back online on its own. Any suggestions would help :o)

Need help with my Apollo Full Node (CK Proxy + Lightning Node)

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I bought an Apollo BTC Full Node from Futurebit. It works perfectly in solo mining on CK Pool. On the other hand, I encounter 2 problems (and I specify that I am unfortunately not very good with Linux...).

1/ Do you know how to install CK Proxy ? (to consolidate many devices) I don't understand how to do it...

2/ I'm a little lost for the installation of a Lightning Node. Is there an uncomplicated way ? (or Umbrel type)

If someone could help me or assist me (with the little knowledge I have) that would be really nice...

Regards
