Topic: Official FutureBit Apollo BTC Software/Image and Support thread - page 59. (Read 40902 times)

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..

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

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

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

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/

you know what - that actually makes a lot of sense.. i didn't even think about that - thanks I'll let my buddy know

AFAIK, the only reason to port forward is to run a node. Why would he need to run two nodes from the same IP? Just turn the node off on the unit that can't be port forwarded?

a buddy of mine got 2 full versions and has both plugged in but I can't port forward 8333 twice is there a way to change the port number on the 2nd one?

Is there a way I can change the name of the Apollo BTC miner that shows in the network attached devices list? How can I do this? Thanks!

You have time to make something then hamstring it then sell it? crush or burn?does crushing and fire void the warranty as i dont see the warranty of these items anywhere?

Just wanted to chime in here and say that since the last update, my units have been 100% stable.
I used to rarely make it over a week without a unit going offline, or having a hashboard lose power, now they have been up and running properly literally since the minute they updated.

So thanks for a good release, look forward to the additional features on the way.

Just switch the NVMe drive and let it re-sync. Nothing else needed

Is there an update thread to upgrading the NVME and flashing the card?

so I ended up finding a great site with some helpful tips. I followed #1 http://www.pcwintech.com/common-problems-fixes-port-forwarding. So I the modem in the front house has built in wifi which I disabled so I could connect the Velop Mesh system. I had to add the actual internet Ip address from the router into the DMZ page on the modem and as soon as I did that my connections started going up. Currently at 16/32

Still nothing. after opening on both router and even modem, I run the scan to see if it shows 8334 open and it doesnt show it open. so weird.

Amazing i'll give this a shot now and report back. Thanks

Super helpful. Thanks! I figured it was probably fine because everything seemed to be working.

Hi, loyal Futurebit fans...just wanted to comment on the inquiries about the error rate for the apollo miners...I have had and still continue to have this issue with one of my miners and so I contacted Futurebit Support and this is the response I received from them... mind you it is one response but I happen to agree and understand the response I was given and am at ease about the error rate on my miner...so I copy and paste part of the email response I received from them and it goes..."Yep, that unit is running perfectly! Our software can’t currently filter out bad shares that are spit out by some bad cores out of the thousands of cores that are in your machine, so it shows a higher than normal error rate. If your hash rate was 20% lower as well then you should be concerned your unit is not running well."   Now that is the response I got in my instance and as I said I am confident at ease with the response I was given...the miner does still act up at times as to the error rate but the miner in all other regards including its hash rate has been performing perfectly so my concerns are abated for now...if I were to notice a reduction in its hash rate then I would be concerned but so far so good...Dr. J my man I hope I have not spoken out of turn I just wanted to maybe put the mind at ease of some of your users as to their miners...if I have spoken out of turn please let me know and my apologies...ok that is it for me for now...Dr. J hope you are well and regards to the crew...a loyal fan...Tempestblack...

P.S. uuumm hope to hear back from Futurebit about those temp numbers though...would be helpful...

Slushpool.
What exactly are these errors, anyway?

what pool does it point to.

maybe pool changed its software.
