Anyone had a successful flash to 2.0.5? I'm a bit weary to upgrade until others report some success, don't have time currently to stuff around reflashing SD cards

It seems it's worked for me because the node is running and the solo mining works.. but i can't reach the dashboard via the browser. Didn't test to plug the apollo directly by hdmi.

Update now reboots system, if you are accessing over web ui on another device the IP address most likely changed on reboot and you'll need to enter new ip address

Keep in mind update takes a while (15-30 minutes since whole UI is rebuilt from source) so it will get stuck in the 60-70% range for a while, dont touch or reboot the system until it reboots by itself otherwise the build will fail and you'll get a broken UI.

I'll have the 2.0.5 images up today (or you can re-image using 2.0.4 and try the OTA update again).

How do I find a new IP address? The full node made no indication of a new IP and simply doesn’t load.

Download an IP scanner or log into your router settings/app this list the devices.

These URLs should also work if you are on a Mac/linux machine to avoid needing ips..

Yeah I'll wait then. Running it as a headless unit and don't want to directly plug into it to mess around, hopefully a fix comes soon

jstefanop, looks like you uploaded the same old binaries for the Apollo 1 in git. Just downloaded it and this is what it is saying:

Code:
$ ./apollo-miner -h
apollo-miner 09bb0bf 2021-11-22, msp ver 0xd166

This is identical to the output of the old binary.

Which binary type did you download, only linux 64 arm 64 and windows gcc is being supported right now, the other binaries will still have the old version

Tested ARM64 and AMD64, both Linux, both gave me the same output.

Good morning.  Perhaps covered elsewhere but could not readily find a resolution.
Got my Apollo II plugged in a few days ago and sync'ed to the current block but mining function is getting error message of [GraphQL error]: Message: Int cannot represent non 32-bit signed integer value: 4445094100
Any insight as to how to resolve?
Thank you.

Updated to 2.0.4 if you have not already done so. There is also another overflow bug that is fixed in 2.0.5 (out in the next few days) but a reboot will fix this temporarily.

FYI this is just a UI bug (everything in the backend miner/node is still working fine).

Hi, is 2.0.5 out yet? If so, can you please share the DL link? I'm running the Apollo 2 node so would need to reflash to that.

Should have this out today/tomorrow.

I updated the os from the dashboard it seems to have worked but now I can’t reach the dashboard …

Just attempted to update to 2.0.5 directly from the UI and after restarting, error comes up "Unable to connect. Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost:3000." Tried restarting again but it's still not working. The miners seem to be working but the UI cannot load on any local device. Do I need to reflash or is there an easy fix? If reflashing, can you please send the download link for the full node?

...
However a few days ago the bitcoin nodes on both my apollo-2
systems (configured as TOR mode) lost connection to other nodes,
so they're stuck syncing blocks (~644000/844366).
...


Tor is notorious for sync issues. I would temporarily turn tor off and let the node sync then turn it back on.

Update issues have been resolved, so as long as you dont do a dist upgrade you should be fine with apt update/upgrade going forward (kernel is now frozen).

I wanted to report back that this worked.
After switching to clearnet to finish syncing the blockchain, I was able to switch back to TOR for normal node operation.
Thanks!

Hi,

Will 2.05 fix the 21.6% hardware errors?

Just hoping ;-)

Hello Team, my Apollo 2 node consistently shows 31/32 node connections. Any idea why it cannot fully connect with 32/32?

I have my node fully synced and opened port 83333 on my router
and this is the message I see "Waiting for the current miner status to match the desired one (Online)."

http://i.ibb.co/4YFDwdq/miner.png

any ideas on what the problem might be in this situation?

Is this on an Apollo BTC or Apollo II? If you upgraded the OS make sure you chose the right MCU image download, otherwise the miner wont get detected and you'll get this issue.

I have the Apollo II and I upgraded the OS using Apollo BTC MCU2 and the issue was the same even before I upgraded the OS.

Hello Team, for solo mining on the Apollo 2, is it possible to manipulate any mining inputs like inscribing into the coinbase (ex “Chancellor on brink….” or maybe the extraNonce or anything else to customize and further randomize the hashes?

Thats on our to do list and will add that as an option for a future update (customizing solo coinbase tag).

Ok thanks. What’s the current default coinbase tag if I’m lucky to mine a block? And to confirm, there is no other way to customize the mining algorithm (besides having a unique wallet address)?

It's something like "Mined by a Solo FutureBit Apollo"...no these are ASICs, algo is hardcoded in the hardware itself there is no way to change the mining algorithm like a GPU.
