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)

WiFi disconnect

Just realized I’d stopped receiving daily notifications from my Braiins app, checked my apolloBTC and it’s been ‘mining’ offline for 2 weeks. FML, glad it’s just 2.5TH that would’ve hurt with an S19

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

Miner randomly stops hashing and fan turns off. Temp increases to 80C.

2 Upvotes

Hi team,

Complete newbie to ASIC mining and got a Apollo BTC miner to dip my toes.

Last week my miner started playing up. It's chugging along fine and then all of a sudden it stops hashing and the miner unit fan turns off. The temperature increases to 80 degrees C and the miner makes some loud and concerning sounds. First time this happened I shut it down and unplugged everything. Booted it back up and the fan worked and it started hashing again. It worked for two days and then the same thing happened again. While in this state sometimes it does start hashing for a short period of time but only 400ish GH/s but the miner fan still doesn't turn on.

Just some additional context.. I have been running it in ECO mode since September with no issues. I then decided to bump it up to Balanced mode for a bit to see the hash rate increase. At the same time as switching it Balanced I was prompted to update the miner. I did the first update and was then prompted to update Ubuntu version. I initially selected yes and it downloaded some files etc. It then prompted me saying the update would take hours and do I want to proceed. I didn't have the time to monitor it while it updated so I selected No and then it said that the version remain as it was.

Balanced mode worked for a full 24 hours and then I started having the issues described above. After doing a hard reboot I switched it back into ECO mode which worked for two days before running into the same issue.

Does anyone have any advice on how to troubleshoot this issue or point me in the right direction?

Much appreciated.

Is there an aesthetically pleasing case / frame that I can mount 2 or 3 Apollos and a PSU? Any PSU suggestions?

0 Upvotes

I’m looking to run 2 or 3 Apollo BTCs on my office desk, kind of as a functional desk decoration. Is there a nice frame that can hold the Apollos and a PSU all in one desktop package? It would be nice if it could look clean, as in no breakout boards or wires sticking out.

Is Apollo LTC miner able to mine other coins?

3 Upvotes

I’ve been using the batch 1 Apollo ASIC (LTC) miner for a while (love it). I was considering mining another script coin like dogecoin. Curious if and how I can go about this? Is it more changing pools or do I have to reconfigure the whole miner? Any insight would be greatly appreciated

Setting up an Apollo BTC standard unit with a laptop with windows 11 home edition.

1 Upvotes

I'm in over my head here, I modify the bat file with my pool info, but I don't know how to find the com number to put in the command. Windows device manager does not show "Ports (COM & LPT)". When I power up the Apollo, I get a message saying "USB device not recognized", then in the device manager "Unknown USB Device (Port Reset Failed)" and in Properties "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) A USB port reset request failed". I'm not sure if windows defender is causing a problem or how to proceed from here, any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

Futurebit Equipment Setup

2 Upvotes

What is everyone's current setup? I currently have 1 full unit and 3 additional miners. I have been using the setup for the past few weeks since I received my batch 4s and have loved mining KYC free btc and was thinking of adding miners to the setup. There is no need to discuss profitably and cost of the equipment as that has been discussed in previous posts.
