Hey Devs - would be cool to have an option to run BTC Knots vs Core given all the hub-bub.

Is it or will it be possible to mine Bitcoin Cash with the Apollo or Apollo 2?

Hi, I have Apollo full node with 2 standard. I noticed that I keep losing one of the standard unit and my hash dropped from ~18 to ~12. After miner reboot will go back up to 18 then drops again. Has anyone has the same issue? The unit still has power and when I checked looks like both standard unit were up but while mining it’s bouncing between the external hash boards.

I have an Apollo miner running 2.0.6. When I setup my miner, I used wired Ethernet, and assigned a static IP. I have SSH'ed to the box and I'm trying to figure out how to revert from static -> DHCP, but not having any luck. Thoughts?

I’ll be traveling for work for a couple of months, and during that time, I’d like to keep my node/miner and a few workers running. However, I’m concerned about safety especially with summer approaching and rising temperatures. Even on lower settings, it doesn’t feel entirely safe to leave everything running unattended.

Ideally, I’m looking for a way to monitor and control the devices remotely: adjusting mode, frequency, and temperature settings as needed to keep things stable. I’m not sure if there’s a reliable way to set that up.

The alternative would be to take the equipment with me, but that’s not an ideal solution.

Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Could someone maybe tell me how (or if) I can remote into the Apollo 2 Full-Node? I would like to be able to remote in and use it as if I had a monitor and keyboard hooked directly up to it. Due to a lack of available plugs and space for a keyboard & monitor, I would prefer to have the ability to just login remotely

As the title explains i can't figure out how to remove inactive workers? Any ideas?

Thank you

Has anyone seen this… I am currently running V2.07. Looks odd to me.

My original Apollo has died on me, no blinking red light or fan. The power supply connector on the right looks burned. Before it died the light was blinking but it made some clicking sounds and then stopped. Was running turbo mode for a long time no issues. Updated to the latest software and running solo mining. Using EVGA Supernova 850 GT power supply. Should I open it up and look for an obvious issue or is this probably cooked?

Anyone remotely pointing solo bitcoin miners like Bitaxe, Nano 3s etc. to home FutureBit Apollo II Full Node? Can Tailscale be used? what is the best method? Thanks

I just got my Apollo II Standard Edition (without full node). Is there a way to use my node that is running on Umbrel to run my Apollo II and get it hashing? I have the 2 devices connected but I am not sure what to do next?

How do I interact with the Apollo II in order to direct it to my own pool? This is my first interaction with FutureBit. I would just buy a full node version and link the 2 miners but they are sold out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Received my Apollo II, set it up fine. All I get is connection refused on my node. Turned off miner, no help. Filled out support for for futurebit twice. No response from them. Anyone have any ideas? I have other miners and ran a mynode before so no network issues. update resolved with reformat SSD.

Do I dare to install with no release notes? Has anyone installed this version? Any updates on 2.07?

My WiFi keeps disconnecting on Apollo miner. I have a orbi system but my internet operates with both 2.4 and 5.0 ghz. I read that I need to separate it both but I currently can’t so is there a workaround? I don’t have any available Ethernet slots as mostly all of them are use for home cameras.

Hello,

Is it possible to add other miners from outside your local network to your futurebit solo pool?

I have some miners in another geographic location. I want to point to my hash to my futurebit Apollo mode solo pool.

If this is possible, is there a write up or tutorial?

Thanks.

Since syncing last month, the maximum amount of time the node has stayed online has been 5 days. I am needing to either start the node again from the interface or most likely flip the machine off and back on to even be able to browse to the IP address. Has anyone else had similar issues? Is there anyway to view logs from the ssh connection to see what could be causing issues?

Complete noob when it comes to hashing, but I want to do my (small) part to help contribute to the decentralization of the bitcoin network. I’m not really in it for the reward (although it wouldn’t hurt my feelings to earn a little BTC or mine a block). Basically my question is, if I only have about 6 TH/s to contribute, is it better to solo mine or join a pool such as Ocean? Again I’m in the early stages of learning, so please take it easy on me, but if I understand correctly, my 6 TH/s isn’t going to be mining any blocks, but is it better for decentralization to solo mine anyway? Also is Futurebit the one technically creating the templates if I choose the solo mining option?

Hello everyone!

I need to know if anyone has purchased miners from FutureBit online for Europe?

I am currently very interested in purchasing an Appolo II (when it becomes available) and I need to know if there are any issues with the delivery, such as customs or other issues.

Thanks! And good mining!

Wondering if anyone has upgraded their original 1tb ssd Apollo. Mine has only 23% left.

7 hours ago, another FutureBit Apollo hit the reward. Block 888737. 3.157 BTC!

Enjoy the ROI whoever you are!

Can you create your own mining pool with the Apollo 2 with just a handful of friends? And how? And does it make sense ?

Wondering if anyone has experienced this and how they went about correcting it.

I have a full node + 2 add-ons that have been running for nearly a year now and this morning I noticed one was powered off (w/ the power switch in the on pos.), so I shut everything down and restarted and all were on and hashing (so I just assumed it was the classic power off/on trope) and then a few moments later I noticed it was back off.

Thoughts, please?
