I've read some posts on here about the port forwarding and helping with connections on the node. I currently have 10/32 connections. I tried forwarding the ports but it didn't change. not sure if i did every right or not? anyone have any suggestions or a good guide for this? also looking to try and forward ports to be able to access remote. I tried that but i can't access remote still so obviously i'm not doing something right.......
FWIW, I too am only showing 10/32 connections (I'm a batch 2 so the node has been running for just a couple days and is 84% sync'd)
I verified that inbound connections to my node from the internet are working using this website here that someone else in the thread provided earlier. Give it a try: CanYouSeeMe dot Org
All you do is pull the web page up using the browser on your full node and then edit the 'Port to Check' so it reads 8333 and click the 'Check Port' button. It will come back with 'Success' if your firewall/router is set up correctly.

does sound like its not forwarded. all you can do is google your router model and port forward. Some also call it virtual servers

Hello, I just got my miner yesterday, and was able to get to the dashboard and attempt to connect to a pool and start mining. Couldn't get it to connect quite right, it would look good on the Hashboard, but the pool would show inactive, and nothing would show up on the pool side of things (Slushpool). But now this morning I decide to start trying again, and the miner is just making a weird sound and I can't access the dashboard anymore. Rebooting, starting, restarting seems to do nothing. It just sits there making a weird sound. Would appreciate some help on this.
#Update
I adjusted the username in the pool section of the miner (had tried to put a space in there because it looked like there was one on the example from slushpool) and now everything looks to be working! On the miner side at least, still too soon probably for slushpool to say anything. But just thought I would put this out there if anyone else puts a space in your username it seems to cause the miner to have a meltdown.
Yes credentials are case sensitive on most pools...the username field will take whatever you put in it so if its not exactly what you have set up at the pool it won't authenticate.
FYI congrats on all Batch 2 users coming online...sync those nodes and forward that 8333 port! Lets show the world Bitcoin users DGAF about any US government laws trying to stifle this revolution.

Now the issue, I'm seeing a hardware error of 8.4% but it also states 19 rejected blocks. Hashboard 0 is showing 2.1% error and HB-1 shows 15.7% error
So the question would be, what constitutes these errors?
Next question, since ll 44 chips are running on both boards, hash rate on the master (assuming the master is HB-1) is 2Th/s while HB-0 is at 1.56Th/s, wondering why the drop in performance on 2nd board.
I think Hashboard 0 is the master and Hashboard 1 is the slave. Reasoning being that I only have the full unit (board and SBC) and it numerates the board as "Hashboard 0".

Just got my Batch 2 units (1 master / 1 slave) and all I can say is thank you FBit! Great units, up and running in about 10 minutes ... BUT ... have a question or issue.
I haven't changed anything from out of the box defaults expect my pool so it was pretty quick to set up and the download of the BTC blockchain started pretty quickly and as of 18 hrs of uptime we're at 82% so we expect the download to complete today and within 24 hours. YAY!

just got my apollo btc miner (my first miner) plugged everything in, having trouble getting to the dashboard? Any help
You need to be more specific. Trouble getting to the dashboard after connecting an HDMI lead or through the Web UI?

Can anyone tell me how to get audio to output via HDMI, if this is even possible? I am using a KVM switch and audio is sent to my speakers via HDMI for the other all the other connected devices devices connected (Windows PC / Raspberry Pi / MiSTer). I can't find a way to get audio to output through the HDMI port.
(PS Unrelated - is there a way to search only this thread on this forum? I can't figure out how to do it.)

I updated my Apollo and 1 of them BTC node is ok and the miner inactive but I see he is online and mining on the pool.
The other same thing, node ok and miner inactive in the dashbord but online and mining on slush pool in my account. on this one I see jstefanop.worker1 on the dashboard page. weird!
Does a reboot fix this? Are you updating via local network or a connected monitor? Shoot an email if your still have this issue, want to see where the update is breaking.The other same thing, node ok and miner inactive in the dashbord but online and mining on slush pool in my account. on this one I see jstefanop.worker1 on the dashboard page. weird!
FYI should have an updated image out later today as well.
Reboot change nothing and I made the update via local network
I'm also having this issue. It started after the upgrade to 0.3.1 (but not immediately after; I was running on 0.3.1 for some time before the issue manifested itself). It hasn't righted itself after several power cycles. The miner is still attached to the pool and hashing, but the local web UI shows no data whatsoever.
FYI we figured out what is causing this round of UI stats bug, this only occurs if you are logged in directly through the system and change the system timezone in the date and time panel.
For the time being just reset the timezone back to default (london timezone) and your stats will start working again.
This is what happens when your used to embedded systems all your life when users typically cant touch the system settings
Will push a quick fix for this hopefully in the next week. August 09, 2021, 03:49:35 PM
Would you recommend one over the other, or is it six one way, half dozen the other? There seem to be a lot of reviews that the Ledger is crap, the Ledger is AMAZING, Trezor is AMAZING. Hard to sift through it all.
Not really. I use multiple accounts and multiple hardware wallets. All eggs in one basket and all that jazz. But this really isn't a conversation for this thread. There are other areas of the forum for questions regarding wallets, hardware or otherwise
On a different note, I can successfully say the miner autostarts after internet outage. Had to pull to phone line out and redo connections after getting intermittent crackling on calls. Totally forgot about the internet. Came back up and checked everything after realising, and it was happily hashing away as if nothing happened.

That sounds almost too easy
Thank you for the assist. I ordered an Opolo hardware wallet. Should arrive by end of this month.Just don't lose the relevant security info it makes you go through and obviously the device itself
Yeah, you bet! I’m really good about recording my stuff and keeping copies secured away.

Differences come from altcoin and shitcoin (over-) and (ab-) use. For simple Bitcoin wallet both will work excellently. Trezor model T has bigger screen and don't have problems with displaying altcoin contract details and addresses. Ledger (or some models of) has limited screen space to provide when dealing with coins. Also, Ledger leaked all their customer data recently due to hack. To me, Trezor seems more secure because of that. But it's your call, if you don't use tokens and altcoins contracts etc., you don't need to worry.

Hey -
Hoping this sub is a good spot for this. This is my initial foray into mining and I just purchased a full node and waiting on shipment. I pre-read the setup and config, have a pool ready to connect. The last piece of puzzle for me to understand is wallet connectivity. As I'm mining into a pool, I'm assuming once I reach a payout percentage, I want to get it into cold storage for safekeeping.
Here is where I get confused: Do I install a wallet onto the controller and have it sent there from the pool? Then, from the wallet onto my cold wallet? Or is there another way? Would appreciate some best practices or guidance.
Many thanks in advance,
-c

Your best bet is to get a Ledger Nano or Trezor wallet. It will provide you with a wallet address which you put into your pool account as your payout address. Then any earnings will be sent to your device of choice for storage.
