Great, thanks! When can we expect standalone miner update?

I was wondering exactly the same. Among others, enabling the solo mining feature for the apollo-miner binary would be great, since it does not work with bfgminer stratum proxy. Or at least I didn't get it to work (maybe a config issue, though it works just fine with cgminer). If somebody has succeeded here, please let me know.

@jstefanop, you can count me in on some beta testing when it's due.

If you want to solo mine use kano.is. Great pool, thoroughly tested code and maintained superbly

Reported new error to github:
Miner not stopping mining and using power when no connection to the pool
https://github.com/jstefanop/Apollo-Miner-Binaries/issues/8

I did note this yesterday on the full unit too actually. My internet went down for a half an hour and the unit was still hashing away at full power even though it had no internet connection. Thought it was just something on my end so didn't bother reporting it but can definitely say I had this issue as well

Just did update and reboot and miners show inactive ?
1. stopped node
2. stopped miners
3. verified both where not active
4. started update on Web dashboard
5. updated in 2 min all went good.
6. started miners all going good as you can hear the fans spool up.
7. PROBLEM dashboard shows NO hashrate, NO Watts, status showing all 4 units inactive with no info, pool status inactive
-front red led slow flashing on all units, orange/yellow lights on bottom of all units flashing, all units green light flashing and also the other solid green,
- login into Slushpool account and it shows active hashrates no issues on that end
8. stopped miner and node and confimed it stopped
9. clicked on reboot, system rebooted everything the same as above miners workings confirmed in slushpool but all in showing inactive on web dashboard.

Any suggestions and anyone else with this issue?
And no issues with internet connection

Update should have taken way longer than two minutes. Sounds like it did not complete all the way. Try re-flashing SD card and re-doing the update and see if you have the same issue.

*UPDATE*
Re-flashed SD card using (balenaEtcher) and removed SSD so not to lose my synced blocks. Rebooted just the full node unit on its own. Unit booted up but lost HDMI output signal to monitor (has happen before). Work around to shut down unit nicely is to grab my laptop and login in thru router IP address dashboard and shut down unit. To get the HDMI working again it seem that you have to not only shut down the unit in the dashboard but ALSO (at least for me) have turn off the power supply too. HDMI output working again, shutdown miner and unit. Reinstalled SSD. Powered up all 4 units. Verified miners and node dashboard info working and correct, all good. Turned off miners and node, tried the update again (updated completed in 3min 17sec) reset pool info and all is back to normal.
Thanks Jstefanop

Cool, yea must have been a bad/corrupted build on the UI during the update. Will probably switch to pre-built releases in the future instead of doing updates this way since it’s more prone to random errors.

FYI getting hdmi to work if your monitor loses signal usually works if you just power on/off the monitor.

Yea I tried that to but no luck with powering on off the monitor, could be something with my monitor when looking for signal.
Will be picking peoples brains soon to get a solution on HDMI output for other monitor setups, project photos to follow soon to help understand why I really need a fix Wink

Before I updated; via GUI changed mining mode from 'balanced' to 'eco' and rebooted to apply changes.
With neither miner or node running ran the update before again rebooting to apply.
Logged in via webUI, started the node and let it sync 100% before changing the mining mode from 'eco' to 'balanced', rebooted to apply.
Started the node first, once synced, started the miner. (one controller/master and two controlled/slaves).
I now see Hashrate, Temp, Fan Speed, Power, Voltage, Errors and Active ASICs via webUI.
Mission accomplished!

Should we or should we not Apply the following Security and OS update Huh

Attached is an image of what I am presented with upon login via Putty to the futurebit BTC

Don't apply that, it will break the front end as FutureBit have said before. Wait for them to release an new image with the included updates which they mentioned they would do. Pretty sure if you do that update you'll have to start from scratch with an SD card flash

Update has been pushed to all users. Just press the update button and the UI should show the progress of the update. Do not shutdown/refresh the browser while the update is being complete. The update could take up to 15 minutes to complete so please be patient.

Once the update completes, youll need to reboot your machine to start mining again. The reboot option in the webUI should work now.

Update 0.3.1

-fixed issue where some users were not able to see stats of the WebUI over a local network connection
-fixed issue where an internet connection outage would cause the miner to not resume mining
-shutdown/reboot system commands now work
-prevents node from syncing to sd card if there is an issue with the nvme drive
-lots of other bug fixes/updates for system stability

Great, thanks! When can we expect standalone miner update?

just did update and reboot why miners now inactive ?

Mine updated too but I just started the miner and the node, all seems well.

Updating now even though its late and I’m half asleep lol

Edit, I can confirm the reboot button works and I can see all the info through the Web UI now aswell.

Edit 2, Just noticed that the Web UI works and updates as it should (switched from custom to balanced miner setting). When switching back to the Standard UI (via hdmi) the Miner dashboard still reads the custom settings. Also the “Settings” page still reads Custom rather than Balanced. All other stats read correct though.

Yea we are pushing release to everyone later today. You should see a yellow update button in the UI.

Sweet!! The big question is. Will it show in the Web UI aswell as the standard one through a monitor Cheesy

It should, that part of the UI should not have been affected by this bug. You can also manually trigger the update if the button does not show up.
