What is the username/password for SSH login to the node? Tried futurebit/futurebit (similar to the LTC appliance) but that does not work.

How long have you been running it? Id wait at least 24 hours before looking at pool stats, as it takes a while to stabilize especially if the pool is running high diff.
Thanks for so quick answer!

Well. Just couple of hours, but miner was restarted few times by me already and now I can see it just did restart itself.
But don't bother for now. I use Wifi and it's very laggy while block chain is downloaded. I'll wait for this to get completed and come back in case of any issues.

I think it gets more rejected shares just after miner startup.

BTW, my initial impression on this product is so good, so I just ordered standard box for this. Well done JStefano! Smiley Thank you for your work.

Hi all. I just got mine box yesterday. It's lovely ;-) It's quite a lot of pages in this thread already so just a quick question, sorry if it was discussed.

My miner is running in ECO mode at reported temperature of 60C. I get some rejected shares on CK pool. Miner is still downloading block chain...
It's about 5% of rejected shares, but both miner and CK pool reports 15-20% lower hash rate. Hardware error rate is about 0.4 -0.5%.

Is it normal?

Mine starts to run for a couple of days then stops and have to turn it off for awhile.

are you talking about the web dashboard? or the miner stops working?

  Edit. 28th...currently running eco mode 51c

Hey,

I've tried searching and going through the thread to find my answers and can't seem to find the exact answer I am looking for maybe some of you guys know the answers or solutions to my questions.

1. Miner stats on web dashboard not showing even when timezone is set to the UK
I made the mistake of changing the timezone when I first got the machine and read on the forum that I needed to change it back to London - which I did. It was working fine but now its not displaying even with the timezone set to London, United Kingdom
You may need to reinstall SD card image, do updates and see if hashrate is showing. Don't touch timezone. Also when you reinstall, keep NVMe drive disconnected while SD card boots for a first time, otherwise it may get reformatted (as I remember from other posters here). Only plug in after you log in to dashboard for a first time and everything works. That way you not losing anything, bitcoin full node will keep all blocks.

2. Is it possible to install VNC on the FutureBitOS?
I know raspberry pi's has the VNC capabilities, is there a specific version or is it even possible to get VNC on the OS? I want to be able to remote into the device and control it even when I am away from my house.
Yes I use VNC on many Raspberry and other SoC boxes, there are VNC servers in Ubuntu repository, so Apollo with their Armbian Ubuntu should have them. Just open terminal and see what you got.
I use very simple and effective "x11vnc" server.

i'll take a look at reinstalling the SD card image.. thank you for the NVMe tip - I'll be sure to disconnect the m.2 before I do that.

For the VNC I followed this tutorial: https://diyprojects.io/armbian-access-remote-desktop-orange-pi-vnc/
But now when I try to use VNC Viewer all I get is a blank grey screen, I've been trying to resolve it all day but had no luck - any suggestions?

thanks

Since the 0.3.1 build you don't need to remove the m.2 drive; that bug has been fixed

not your keys, not your coins!
yes it has a web UI on the local network.
With the same or limited functionality?
If it’s the same, there’s no need for VNC really.

the web ui is the same but you would need VNC to remote into the machine as the UI does not have access to the FutureBitOS or the Pi itself.

Oh yes of course. But for that you can just use SSH, it should be preinstalled.

I haven't received my Apollo yet - doesn't it have a web interface in the local network? Or is it theoretically only controllable with HDMI screen and USB keyboard (if not using VNC)?

DoofyWops, I’m running mine on nicehash on the normal sha256 server. Not the asisboost one.

Also i get the updates window for the OS. Dont update it otherwise you will have to reflash the SD card.

Thanks a bunch!!!  Can I ask what rate you're getting? I'm getting 0.88 TH/s

Nicehash has a high diff for such a small miner so pool side will fluctuate big time. Aslong as the GUI on the unit shows what it should then its fine.
