This is bug in the ASIC hardware that reports larger than real error rate, it's a long known issue. Hashrate displayed + pool hashrate is all that matters and as you can see yours is within spec of balanced mode.


BTW dropping a stable release of Apollo OS 2 hopefully by tomorrow!

Hi,

Any update?

Are there any plans to update the Apollo LTC firmware to match new OS?

Hi,

I've just received a new Apollo BTC and everything is powered on and synced.

(Ethernet Cable / Port 8333 open)

However in ECO / Balanced mode the Hardware error rate doesn't fall below 20%?

Can anyone advise?  I've dropped a email to Apollo Support but I've heard nothing back.

I have re-installed the image (on a secondary SD Card) but still getting the same issue.

Regards

Kim

I didn't catch that version 2.0 was designed for 22.04, not 20.04. I upgraded to 22.04, and now my full node and extra standard unit are hashing away.

For testing I use an OrangePi 4 LTS with internal 16 GB ECC memory.
I have to mount my 1 TB SSD with fully synchronized blockchain manually. I took the start file from my old V1 Apollo because the new one unfortunately doesn't work. I connected the Apollo1 to the SBC board via USB.

miner_start.sh

chmod 755 miner_start.sh


Code:
#!/bin/bash

cd /opt/apolloapi/backend/apollo-miner
settings=$(cat miner_config)

start_hashboards()
{
    while [ $1 ];
            do
            screen -dmS miner ./futurebit-miner -comport $1 -ao_mode 1 $settings
            sleep 1
            shift
    done
}

#clear old log files
rm apollo-miner.*

#reset internal hashboard
gpio write 0 0
sleep .5
gpio write 0 1

sleep 30
#start internal hashboard

screen -dmS miner ./futurebit-miner -comport /dev/ttyS1 -ao_mode 1 $settings

#find and start external hashboards

ports=$(ls /dev/ttyACM*)
start_hashboards $ports

echo "Started"

What did you have to adjust in the miner_start.sh file? I've got my node up and running on the v2.0.2-beta, but can't get the miner started.


The miner_start.sh didn't work and I had to adjust the start file. I then connected the Apollo to the MCU 2 version of the SCB board via USB. The power consumption of "only" 80 watts doesn't seem to be correct. A fully synced SSD 1 TB from the Apollo 1 doesn't seem to work either. I'm really looking forward to the V2, which will be released tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to being able to repair more of your devices.

Add more lines to pool url  with 3 (or more) default options. Fallback is very important in mining.

Been waiting a couple years for this feature any idea if it will get added?

I'm using miningrigrentals to handle this. I think you can setup up to 5 pools.

Hi All,
I'm new to this community, I've just received my Founder Apollo II.
I'm trying to sync the node. It's going very slow.
After 24hrs I'm still at half chain (490,225/836.701)
It shows 10/32 connections.

Am I doing something wrong?
I'd appreciate any help.

Thank you

Tk

Hey TK - you need to allow 8333 to the LAN IP of your node from the internet. Check your firewall settings.

This is completely normal... the first sync of my Apollo 1 took several days.
There is a trick...I sync my Apollos with an existing blockchain in my network. So I transfer the blockchain from one device to the Apollo. This only takes a few hours

I'm really looking forward to the V2, which will be released tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to being able to repair more of your devices.

I made the following notes during installation.

Orangepi4-lts_3.0.6_ubuntu_jammy_desktop_xfce_linux5.18.5.img # flash SD-Card
root/orangepi # user/pass
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
reboot

# Download and start Image-install
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jstefanop/apolloapi-v2/dev/backend/image_install
chmod 755 image_install
./image_install dev

Yes, there still seem to be a lot of bugs in the code and the bash installation cannot work because the "dev" attribute is missing. You are welcome to integrate me as a beta tester, as I currently have two devices here to be repaired.

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jstefanop/apolloapi-v2/dev/backend/install-v2 | sudo bash   # "dev" attribute is missing

but in Code need attribute "dev"

if [ "$1" = "dev" ]; then

FYI dev branch still has a bunch of bugs we are working through which is why we havent released anything yet.

Actually surprised you were even able to install it yourself, on the current OS since we have designed it for ubuntu 22.04 and 6.x kernel...

Should have a beta image out for all MCU2 Apollos by Friday, and MCU1 next week.

edited: nvm fixed my problem Tongue

note to selfs

Dont turn computer down first without first powering down apollo miner
on standalone miners
im 10 days old mining with the miner and turned my computer off while apollo was not mining but still running.
as soon as i turned off my computer becuase it crashed. and had to hold power button on computer.  the apollo power supply now makes a buzzing noise since doing that, and its  not from the fan on power supply
