Hello! I bought 2 Full editions. I opened one and everything is running smooth. I would just like to know from someone with more experience, a realistic Daily/Weekly profit margin running on regular mode at 2TH. I dont think or see that what I have on my "Rewards" so far is realistic to call it that way and not too low.

Thanks

There is no way to to realistically estimate this. Everything depends on how "lucky" the pool gets. In Turbo mode on Slush Pool I'm seeing about 0.00000170 (plus or minus a couple) BTC per block found. Figure about 1/3 less for your setting. Today so far Slush Pool has found 5 blocks, a few days ago it found 13 in one day. My last daily reward was 0.00001433 BTC.

Profit margin will, of course, depend on your cost of electricity and to a lesser extent internet bandwidth.

And... you don't really need 2 full packages. One "Full Package" can run 2 (maybe more?) "standard" units.

Good Luck!

Is it normal to be in the RED for memory at around 3GB while mining in Balanced mode and BTC node running ??

Yes especially if the node is still syncing. This will nearly max out mem/cpu until its complete, nothing to worry about though as it also uses fast system swap memory on the SSD as well.

FYI Bitcoin Mag put out a cool article/getting started on the Apollo (setup instructions are even better than mine haha). Check it out!

The node is not syncing anymore but it still stays in the RED (3GB) for memory.
Also, I know I have read in the past that a lightning node will be implemented in the FutureBit software, are you any closer to doing that? It is very hard for people like me to adapt the regular node setup to the specifics of the Apollo node so a guide for the Apollo it is the only way to be able to achieve that. I have no Linux experience so you can imagine how difficult it is...
Please help people like me that support your work by buying the hardware to be able to use it at its capacity. Thank you.

Mine started mining right away and had no issues during the ~3 days it took to fully sync the blockchain.

After my NODE had synced, I changed the mining to turbo. I have an external fan that the Apollo sits on and keeps the temps around 46*-60*. The hash rate on the pool is an average of 3.1 TH

Does the Apollo only start mining after having synced with the blockchain?
I stopped the 'node' via Dashboard and tried starting the miner multiple times; it gives me the 30 second wait message, the fan starts up briefly and then stops again & it says it's not mining.

Edit: In usual 'Have you tried turning it off and on again?' fashion, a complete system reboot fixed it.

Setup Instructions states that you need to let the NODE Fully sync before mining.

... You wouldn't happen to k ow how to find the RPC Credentials would you?

Those can be found in /opt/apolloapi/backend/node/bitcoin.conf

Do you or can you assist me in this method. I want to kearn the process, but need some assistance

For everyone having problems checking if their node is working on the bitcoin network you can use the tool on this page.

https://bitnodes.io/

How do you perform a search for your node on this site?

Put the public IP of your router in the search box and click "Check Node"

I did that and all i get is that my NODE unreachable. However, when I view my NODE on the Apollo, it shows me 31-32 others nodes connected to me. From here I am not really sure how to solve the issue. Port 8333 is open on my router. When I check my IP and PORT with https://portchecker.co/, it states that my port is open. How can I not be reachable?

edit: I have checked several IPs that my NODE dashboard shows connected to my NODE. I have a couple Apollo BTC connected to my node and when I check theirs IP it come back as unreachable. When I check other IPs even with different port numbers from 8333, they are reachable. Must be a Apollo BTC Problem.

Did you input your public IP into bitnodes.io? That was the only way it confirmed mine.

I found out the problem. It was being blocked by MYSTERIUM NODE.

Awesome! Connections are up now?

Yes, holding average of 31 connection. You wouldn't happen to k ow how to find the RPC Credentials would you?

Is anyone on here running their NODE through a Deeper Network dVPN? If so, any issues? Is your node unreachable? How did you fix it to make it reachable?

Is there a guide on how to setup and run a lightning node on the Apollo ??

I have been trying to find out myself. It must be top secret

As was mentioned already a few times, the Apollo is mostly a normal (SBC) computer, so the C-Lightning install guide should work just fine.

But since I like making guides, and will soon receive my Apollo, I'll probably make a guide just for it, since it has been requested so much..

Thank you very much in advance for doing that, I think a lot of us would appreciate it.

Tanks for the info. You probably wouldnt know how to find our NODES RPC Credentials? I want to sync it with my Ledger Live wallet.
