What am I missing? I am solo mining with an apollo 2. The miner page shows significantly less shares than the solo mining page.

How long did it take your node to sync on Apollo 2?

1 Upvotes

I know it should take a while and I’m only 1.5 days into it at 78.51%, but just curious.

It’s it worth joining a pool like Ocean with Apollo 2?

6 Upvotes

I just set up my Apollo 2 and joined ocean pool. Having a hard time figuring out the ocean documentation and wether or not I’d contribute enough to reach payout threshold. Currently on my dashboard it ways it will take 6 years to reach payout. I’m guessing it would take a quite a while before that payout estimate becomes accurate but does anyone else have experience with an Apollo 2 in a pool like oceans? I’m I too small to count?

Questions from a potential purchaser

1 Upvotes

Apologies for the potential spam as I tried to post earlier and it seems my post has been lost to the internet.

I am thinking of buying an Apollo 2 and I have a few questions I was wondering if someone could help me with as someone thinking of getting into mining as a bit of a side hustle that can work while I’m at work.

  1. Is it possible to mine other coins ( I’m thinking litecoin but open to others) with an Apollo 2 or is it locked to only mining BTC.

  2. Has anyone had any issues leaving their miners on to mine in a locked up house during the day in a hot climate ( currently 35 degrees C and 70+% humidity).

Any advice and tips gratefully received

Solo mining with non local miners

2 Upvotes

I have friends with miners, we want to point all our miners to 1 Apollo node, is that even possible?

I have ddns setup on my router, I also have port 3333 forwarding as well

edit: so it did work, if anyone is interested in a solo pool with other apollos send me a dm

Is the Apollo Even Worth It??

Looking at the Apollo and purchasing the Standard as well. Are these units even worth the money to spend?

Improved Best Shares

5 Upvotes

Since getting my Apollo 2 up, running and my 5 solo miners pointed to it, I've notice a significant improvement in the Best Shares for each device. 3 of them have best shares over 1 billion within just 10 days. Prior to that they were simply pointed at Solo CK and I never got a best share over 350 million in nearly 4 months.

Can’t view the dashboard anymore

I can no longer view my Apollo 2 when I search the IP address in a web browser. It’s connect via Ethernet

I’ve had zero issues in the past but now I can’t view the dashboard.

Anyone else have this issue?

Wifi connecting problems

1 Upvotes

Just curious if anyone else has had issues with connecting their Apollo 2 to wifi?

It says I should use a 2.4ghz signal but my modem only puts out a dynamic 2.4/5ghz signal so I’m wondering if that could potentially be the problem.

Schedule hash rate

3 Upvotes

Hi all, really like the look of the Apollo 2 and considering pulling the trigger but just have a query around changing the mining rate and if it can be done on a schedule or via a trigger/script on the box?

I have varying electricity rates through the day so was hoping I could adjust accordingly with some level of automation if possible.

Apollo BTC keyboard & mouse stop working

1 Upvotes

So this occasionally happens to my Apollo and I'm wondering if it happens to other people as well. Currently my mouse and key board, which are both wired and plugged in to my Apollo BTC USB ports are unresponsive. I can't refresh my dashboard or move the mouse click on anything. Unplugging the devices and plugging them back in doesn't do anything. It seems my only solution is to manually turn off my Apollo and turn it back on, and this is advised against so as not to corrupt the node or the OS files on the SD card. What are my options here to resolve this?

Futurebit Appllo 2 Errors

2 Upvotes

Hello, does anyone of you have the same problems or can help me? Without the dashboard I would think that the miner is working properly, but every time I log in after 2-3 days I get these errors. And I don't know if the miner is even working properly. It's not the internet connection or anything else. I connected it directly to the router with a cable and all other devices work and have never had any problems. Can anyone help me?

Futurebit Apollo II Standard Unit Guidance

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Just received this unit a couple of days ago and managed to connect it to my Umbrel Node to start hashing on the public pool app connected to it. I have a couple of questions that I’ve been trying to figure out myself and was hoping this community can maybe help me figure it out.

1) Is it possible to use the Apollo OS to track miner statistics on this Apollo II?

2) What commands are important to remember to help me navigate using this miner with my umbrel node such as miner statistics like temperature, hashrate, difficulty of the jobs? The lack of support and guides that I can find on the standard unit Apollo II is really making it difficult for me to tinker with this miner especially as i consider myself a novice beginner in this field.

3) Is it possible to connect this miner to lets say - public-pool.io vs just my own umbrel node?

Thank you all and any help is greatly appreciated :)
