I have two Apollo's and I've upgraded both of them to the latest update with one running a full node. It's only been up for a short time and it's showing 9 connections so it looks like everything is working correctly (I also noticed the node count for futurebit went up by one, so I'm hoping that's me!!!

)
My question is, can I run another node on my other Apollo? Would it work since they're both behind the same firewall? Can you have multiple nodes behind a single firewall without having multiple public IP addresses?

Yes, you can 2 or more as long as you manually open unused / uncommon ports and map it to additional Apollo.

But not very useful. You have great info about this from jstefanop and psycodad a few post above. Please read.

Dont waste another 64GB drive. Is not useful. For Apollo batch 1 owners YOU ONLY NEED TO UPGRADE ONE APOLLO. OK?

One node by IP. Only consider to have two nodes if they use different IP. One at home and another at workplace is rigth, very useful.

Another question about the nodes and how other systems connect to them.
I didn't open port 9333, instead I enabled upnp on my firewall.
When I first fired up the node, the 8 connected clients all appeared to be coming in over 9333. The connection looks like '85.25.134.54:9333 /LitecoinCore:0.17.1/'
The two additional connections appear to be using a different port: '24.50.217.117:53895 - /bitcore:1.1.0-exodus2/' this looks like port 53895 to me,
and this one: '188.131.162.86:47106 - /btc-seeder:0.0001/' looks like port 47106.
Is this correct? Should I be worried about the connections not on 9333?

You are fine.

If still concerned, go here and check out your ports:

I have my node set up, and I think it's right, but it's only listing as 10/16 connections, that's more than 8 so I don't have to open up the port right? Why is it not getting to 16? Is that an issue?

..patience is a virtue... I'm up to 15/16 now. I think I'm good! Great job jstefanop!

the only real disappointing thing is that my Apollo will never find a block lol its best share ever is less than 5,000 so no where near the share needed to find a block. but it mines great on a pps pool, I will just never go solo with it.

Looking at those giants hashers running GH/s, I felt truly disappointed long ago ... but then I remembered I bought my Apollo strictly for education / learning purposes!

Of course, I could become graduated using those 10 something little Moonlander2 that I bought from Amazon ... but that little devil on my left shoulder kept pushing me to grab my CC and order Apollo so I could make couple of pennies per month! Grin

oh for sure! I bought it mainly to have a miner at my office desk to share with people who ask about mining without having to take them in the loud ass building running all the asics lol. I have both an Apollo and a Terminus on my desk.

That's not very helpful. I thought I did the instructions. I'm a first timer. I don't know what to do.

It’s because you didn’t say which pool you use.

Check this pool and stick with them. Their instruction is easy to follow:

https://www.litecoinpool.org/help

As for that 1% donation fee, it’s not mandatory but it’s a nice gesture to assist with future development of device we paid for. You can easily disable it, if you don’t like.

I got it figured out. Thanks,

I'm donating 10%. appreciate your help

Glad to hear that. I was very excited too when finally got things going!

Have fun!

sorry if that is not helpful - I put exactly what you have to enter - though it can vary by pool - we could help more if we know what pool you are trying to use.

Great news!!! Figured it out. Thanks, for everyone's help. It's up and running. I do plan to donate. Thank you!

Looks like I am number 16. What a fun project.

Welcome!

But seems like 2 Apollo owners can’t keep theirs up and running. Grin

Mine has been rock solid since day 1 - no interruption - in eco mode though.

First time miner. Just received my Apollo Batch 2. I have two issues. 1. On the dashboard my first url says Main .. Inactive..Dead
My second line says Donation...Active...Alive. I have them going to the same url of 3333. #2 My Litecoin pool account is showing no activity which I assume is related to issue #1.

Also on the url line do i put my username and password and proxy which is optional in those fields.

Thank you

the url is not 3333

depending on the pool you are trying to use, you may need to set up an account - for example litecoinpool.org you have to create the workers on the pools site first or they will not connect.

for example:

url: stratum+tcp://us.litecoinpool.org:3333
username: accountname.worker name (again how it is on the pools site)
password: whatever you set it to on the pools site.
