Order #1213.
Haven't received mine yet. Supposed to get it today but it didn't arrive.

Looks like all East coast shipments were on that same fedex truck that got delayed...you guys should have them by Monday.

Hello guys,

may I ask on which pool are you gonna mine with Apollo?
Or will be using any services like ProHashing...

Thanks for sharing!

Lots of testing over the past year with Litecoinpool, prohashing, hashtocoins etc. If you want a pool you can set and forget, I have found Litecoinpool.org to be the most stable and profitable if you’re sticking with LTC as final payout. I was really attracted to prohasing, but the constant coin switching delays and high fees make it not worth it. Some testing had prohashing ahead a bit, but overall litecoinpool wins in my book. Unless you have a lot of hash power, the LTC generated is negligible enough to not have to monitor 24/7.

My first unit arrived.

Mining away now, with 102.65 MH/s, Eco mode, fan on auto. Temperatures 65.5 for miner and 68.0 C for MCU.

Amazing job, jstefanop!

what is your wattage at wall and if u have that info what PSU model is powering it thank you

I plugged it to my GPU rig, powered by Thermaltake Toughpower 1500W. But for day to day use, any ATX power supply will do really, as long as it have 2x 8pin PCIE connectors. I have many secondary PSU lying around which I will use to power Apollos once I decided where exactly they will live this winter.

Usage jumped up for at least 100W (according to Thermaltake app, which reads it directly from PSU, I even have USB cable which goes from PSU to motherboard USB pinout, to read all stats from it), but I didn't measure it at the wall.

Got it today mining at 100M, having some problem with Wi-Fi option and failover seems to be the only option with multiple pools. More to assess though.

Which pools are you trying to use?

Wifi is very buggy right now, but should work with most b/g WPA2 networks.

Currently wifi will NOT work on open networks (i.e. needs a password), and you'll have mixed results if your router is in mixed mode etc

What are your thoughts on multipool.us. I've been using it for a little while. I like the fact that one can merge mine Dogecoin and Viacoin. However, I don't like mining LTC on multipool. It doesn't use PPS for LTC.

You received it already and all we have is an image of a dashboard?! Come on, man Cheesy

Give us some real pictures! Cheesy

Can't wait to get mine.

HaHa, here you go! Brought it in to work so it can be monitored before leaving it alone. It looks better on top of the PSU, but both Apollo and PSU are cooler when side by side. Post #107 is where I list the PSU and breakout board. The cables are 16AWG.

What happens if we can get 100k or even 1M people using an Apollo...

You make lots of $$$ and create Apollo II?

Hello,

Thanks for posting the image yesterday.

I found the /opt/apolloapi inside and the repository with links to GitHub.

Code:

mount -t ext4 -o loop,offset=4194304 apollo_final.img /mnt/apollo

Will the apolloapi repository remain private on GitHub or is it going to be made public?

Also, with the ARM A7 controller, do you have any machine type recommendations for use with QEMU to evaluate the image and test further development?
I only see a generic arm32v7 specified in the Dockerfile.

Best Regards,
-Xi

its private for now.

keep it that way for a while as you will be cloned quickly once you release it.
I would worry about a 10 chip clone hurting your gear and the network .

Not sure if that can be done but if it could it would be painful.
