Hello

I'm having some trouble getting my Apollo BTC (Full version) to connect/mine successfully to a pool.

Short version : Hash board starts fine but Pools remain inactive (also on local display) , logs indicate connection success but also "POOL_ERROR ::: Exception: Subscription timed out"

If someone has experienced this error I would love to hear what might be wrong

Have you tried reflashing the SD Card?

Yes - Tried reflash SD Card +boot without the ssd initially to keep the node from having to resync but as this resulted in the same behavior, it was tried with the ssd but the result is the same sadly even with the 'wipe' of the ssd

Update ---

Managed to get it working with a vpn provider (nord) so it might just be overzealous ISP providers.

Yea looks like your ISP was block share submissions to the pool. Thats super weird and concerning...what ISP/country are you in?

TDC+Telenor/Denmark _BUT_ i need to do more testing before i can confidently throw the blame at them.

Just need to look at the Stratum protocol - With a live connection i now have a baseline

Hello,

Anybody using standard unit with Rpi 4? What OS is compatible with delivered code?

I have Rri4 with umber LN and BTC Node running and now I need to connect BTC standard unit.

trying to run standard unit software on Rpi 4 getting an error message below:

I am running a standalone on a RPi 4 and here are the steps that I went thru to get it running.

How to Install 64-Bit OS on RPi 4 (4Gb) and get FutureBit Apollo BTC Standalone miner working


Get 64-Bit Raspberry Pi Image
https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_arm64/images/
Image with Pi Imager
Have to use Custom Image option for now as 64-bit version is not listed.
Raspberry Pi Imager Tool (https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/ )

Boot RPi with new card
Perform normal settings (SSH, Wifi, password, etc.)
Optionally:  sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade to get all updates applied.

Download RPi software from:
https://github.com/jstefanop/Apollo-Miner-Binaries/releases/
Get the aarch64 files and download and expand to folder of your choice
These are the Apollo miner executable along with start/stop scripts
Scripts will need editing for the user’s pool information, otherwise your mining power will benefit someone else.   

Install Prerequisites for Apollo Miner
Sudo apt-get install screen
Required for the Start_all script

Update Libstdc++ code
Append a line to file “/etc/apt/sources.list”
Type: Sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list to edit the file.
Add this line:    deb http://deb.debian.org/debian sid main 
Ctrl-w, Ctrl-x to save and exit.
Then run
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade libstdc++6

Confirm your Standalone Apollo-BTC is visible:
ls /dev/ttyACM*
You should see this form of output for each attached standalone miner:  /dev/ttyACM0

Cd into your miner folder and type this to get started:
sudo ./start_apollo.sh
Or this if you have more than one unit:    sudo ./miner_start_all.sh

I documented this as I was going thru sorting out the issues that I had, but I think it will get you up and running..

I was able to install as per steps provided.

But stuck with:

Confirm your Standalone Apollo-BTC is visible:
ls /dev/ttyACM*
You should see this form of output for each attached standalone miner: /dev/ttyACM0

I connected my BTC via micro usb to RPI but I could not see ttyACM*.

Thank you

So this procedure helped with the GLIBX issue, correct?

Since it is not showing up with the ls command, then you are down to a couple of items..

1) What color and state is the USB light on the front of the of the standalone miner? Are there any other lights on the bottom of the unit lit?
2) Try a different USB port on the RPi?
3) Try a different USB cable?
4) What PS are you using and are both PCIe power cables plugged in tightly?

Yes - Tried reflash SD Card +boot without the ssd initially to keep the node from having to resync but as this resulted in the same behavior, it was tried with the ssd but the result is the same sadly even with the 'wipe' of the ssd

Update ---

Managed to get it working with a vpn provider (nord) so it might just be overzealous ISP providers.

Yea looks like your ISP was block share submissions to the pool. Thats super weird and concerning...what ISP/country are you in?

Running on windows and keep getting "WAITING FOR USB COM1" error iterated over and over while nothing happens. It can find the pool etc. Guessing this is some simple operator error?

Yea running it on windoze. Nothing runs well on windows anymore. I found that out with the Gekko Gear. Speedily switched back to a Raspi

Same error on my NUC running ubuntu. I guess I can try on the pi as well but I'm starting to think its a dead usb port =/

Update #3: Also does not show up on raspi

-- Long version --

Apollo BTC - Full version
Version: d23145d
All defaults - Only pool URL set
Wired internet, tried different ISP connections.
Reflash of sd-card tried.

Node sync : OK , 15+ Connections

Tested with:

stratum.slushpool.com:3333
eu.stratum.slushpool.com:3333
sha256.poolbinance.com:8888 + other ports
eu.ss.btc.com:1800 + other ports

( prefixing stratum+tcp:// or not does not seem to matter : -host args always without for futurebit-miner )

account+worker name verified in the pool frontend.
All pools name:port respond to a simple telnet test, tcpdump show some traffic
Regardless of pool the log from the running screen indicates that a connection is made but also an error:

Example :

process args : futurebit-miner -comport /dev/ttyS1 -ao_mode 1 -host eu.stratum.slushpool.com -port 3333 -user ginzu.worker1 -pswd x -brd_ocp 48 -osc 30

After upgrading the Power suppies:

1 Controller and 3 stand alones. Power 95, but I left Fequency at 54.

14.7 Th/s and 73 w/TH/s

Power supply upgrade resulted in almost a 25% increase in accepted Hash on my Pool.

I may have missed it earlier, but what PSU are you using?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/153085226971

These are 750w, one power supply can power 2 of the BTC Apollos, but I think I can turn down the ASIC power a bit and run 3 on each power supply.. right now Each ASIC is taking 270w with the power set at 95%

And then just get one of the common slot adapters on eBay or Amazon, and lots of PCI 6 pin cables..

Similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CX6NM21/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Seems you need to be a little careful matching the breakout board to the power supply, they all dont match..

AND if you go for the big Power supplies, say 1200w, alot of them are 220v.. that is one of the resons i went with the 750w, 110v, and i can mix and match.. The same Power supplies(same model, not exact same unit) are running my DECRED miners as well, and are SOOOO much quieter...

Yes that has already been fixed in the dev build...should finish testing in a few days and push that out to everyone.

Great to hear the update is making progress cant wait to get it sorted.

Another option request. it seems my internet may drop sometimes because the miner will stop. Its hard wired and it seems every couple of days it stops mining. I just have to start again.

So can some sort of auto-restart option be added?

Definitely needed. An auto restart feature is necessary.

Adding my vote for this enhancement.

I have 1 full and 2 standard units, and every 24 - 48 hours one of them goes to zero across the board but there is no way to tell which one it is because all three are still running (fans full speed and hot).

Stopping and restarting via the dashboard fixes it.

After upgrading the Power suppies:

1 Controller and 3 stand alones. Power 95, but I left Fequency at 54.

14.7 Th/s and 73 w/TH/s

Power supply upgrade resulted in almost a 25% increase in accepted Hash on my Pool.

I may have missed it earlier, but what PSU are you using?

Ok so I've been playing around with the Custom Mode on the miner for a few hours and seem to have hit the sweet spot on my miner, I think.

Power 75%
Freq 60

Getting 2.8 - 2.9 Th for 190w. According to the GUI its 68w/Th which is the most efficient high speed I can get.

Whats everyone elses?

My SSD plate for node after restarting the miner is no longer recognized. And Node can no longer be started. It comes all the time message no matter what I do: Node is offline
Double-check your USB node drive is plugged in the USB port in the back of your Apollo, properly formatted with the folder name "Bitcoin" in the root directory, and press the Start button below
How can I reinstall SSD on Miner?
Or how can I bring Miner to factory settings?
Please Help..
Thank you

if you reflash the micro sd card the miner will reset to defaults and SSD drive will resync itself. Image is in first thread I think

Your are right. Just tested It works

Thanks

Actually I re-flashed SD card and start process sync again.
I noticed that my SSD drive not mounted and bitcoin node is trying to sync on sd card.
How I can access my ssd drive on full package version?
When accessing ubuntu lsblk I am getting only mmcblk1 and zram0 and zram1.

I'd try shutting down the miner, flip the miner over, remove the single screw holding the drive in. Remove and reinsert the drive. and power up again. (aka reseating the drive or failed part).

I did, but still the same. I wonder if ubuntu helps: sudo apt install nvme-cli and sudo nvme list?

I re-flashed SD card. My SSD not longer connected the way how it was before. I use shell for SSD and connect via USB.
I can see my SSD mounted and I can see on dashboard.
Every time I start node it started bitcoin sync on SD card, but not on SSD connected to USB.
