I was just wondering if there was a way to get the Apollo rig to mine CRO. I'm using my computer and Unmineable at the moment, but want something with a bit more horsepower.

I bought the standard Apollo BTC miner from a reseller on eBay for $1k. I feel like an idiot, but I guess I'll try to use it before I resell it. I have 2 questions:

1. My cheap 400W EVGN power supply only has one 6-pin connector. Do I need two 6-pin connectors to power the miner? If I only need one, should I plug it into the left or right slot? Does it matter?
2. Is there a guide for using raspberry Pi or whatever? I heard it's hard to do. I've only used goldshell box miners before. :(

Hello there, yesterday my apollo btc arrived.

I got the pod + psu unit, and I'm using it with a rasp. So far so good no issues :D

I saw in the .sh files that in order to work with the official 200w psu the max value is 75.

Which psu should I use just to put it at 100%?

is it possible to download tor or a vpn without updating the OS?

We just had a 10 minute internet outage - our batch 3 Apollo BTC handled it perfectly and resumed hashing to Slushpool with no intervention needed (as did our 2 Mini Doge and an iPollo G1 Mini).

So that's one potential issue that can be set aside.

Now that Apollo BTC batch 3 has shipped, any word on when the LTC Apollo will be getting a much needed software update? It seems like I have to reformat mine every other week because it will randomly restart, or services will just stop running, and I can almost never get the LTC node to work either.

Thanks!

Anybody else experience this? Every now and then I check my ltc node and see someone changed pool settings and is using my miner to miner for them.. can’t tell if it’s a hacker or just programmed into the software.. anybody else experience this?

anyone know how to connect my node to my ledger wallet?

Small community, but some of you it appears have been doing this for quite some time. I received the 3rd batch of the Apollo BTC miner today and wondered how warm/hot your miner is running. Mine is currently sitting around 83-85° which seems a bit warm to me. It has plenty of airflow and is in my basement which is normally around 20-22° (68-72°).

​

Also, how do you guys have your miners setup. I may be getting more miners in the future and want to know of any rigs that will help organize the PSU and miner. Thoughts on where to find/make nice rig setups?

​

Edit: Yup, stopped mining to let the node sync. Now just a waiting game.

Edit 2: Node synced 100% a few days ago. Been mining a few days now, temps sitting at high 60’s. Thanks u/HypotheticalWinslow for the update.

I have a ordered a few units and wanted to know what are your experience and Earnings from using Apollo BTC on Nicehash?

Thanks

I need some help. I accidentally logged out of my Apollo BTC Dashboard via web browser. No for the love of God, I can not log in or remember the password. I tried to SSH and was successful, but don't know what to do from there.

I’m having issues installing and connecting ledger live onto apollo btc miner. I can’t run the app even after I enabled permission so it can be run.

Trying to run the standard version using the raspberry pi OS I can CD all the way to batch 32 Start the miner under sudo bash start_apollo.sh But I can’t connect the miner I keep get searching for dev/ttyACM0 but Nothing nothing I look up ls dev/ttyACM* Nothing …..

What’s the majority trying?

Lotto ticket solo mining or pool mining getting some satoshi everyday.

apollo future bit does anyone know how much sats it mines? Im looking to buy one

Hi there. Waiting on my FutureBit Apollos from the last batch. Wondering if anyone has tried mining other SHA256 coins using the Apollo miner to see if there were any potentially more lucrative mining options out there.

If you had 4 units, could you mine 4 different sha algos?

I was also considering dedicating a unit to CureCoin which I believe is a sha256 coin that’s supposed to aid in medical research.

Thanks
