Everything seems to be working ok now. It's almost like it need to "warm up". Odd

Thats a pool issue. What pool are you running on? Hashrate displayed is an average, so what's going on is that your pool is causing the miner to spit out a lot of errors when if first connects (most likely due to it being a mutipool and/or starting off the miner with way to low of a diff), then when is starts to mine fine the average slowly starts to go up.

The same here after 6 days stopped, first hours hardware errors start high but decrease to normality.

Did you change anything on the pool? Sounds like a temporary pool error. Try rebooting it and see if it keeps doing the same thing (and check Litecoinpool.org to rule out pool issues if you running on a different pool). If that doesn't work try an SD card re-flash.


I did reboot several times and also checked different pools and all had the same problem. After running for a few hours it has gotten better but still is only hacking at 90 MH/s with still 5% hardware errors.

I have a batch 1 that was running fine. I had to go out of town for a few weeks so I turned it off. When I turned it back on today it's getting 50% hardware errors only hashing about 30 MH/s on eco mode i've also tried other modes with more or less the same results. The miner temp on auto is 62C and the MCU temp is 62C.  I actually have 2 and my other one is working just find. What can I do to fix this?

Just a quick reminder to give the apollo a dust once in a while. I've given it a good blast with compressed air after running for about 6 months, as I noticed it was a little furred up (only a bit, I have brushed the dust out before).Temps have dropped from 78 to 69, so its worth doing.

FYI @patrik was nice enough to add Apollo support to Awesome miner for whoever uses that!
Very interesting feature - can you please share a quick sert up for making the Apollos and Awesome miner work together?
Thanks in advance!

i can't get my miner to connect to the wifi, it's like right next to the router.
I have an Apple airport extreme model, lastest generation (6th generation).
does anyone have an apple router and connected it with success to WIFi

Ive ran it on an old Airport express fine. Its probably not connecting due to your router being in mixed mode for SSID and/or compatable mode for encryptions. To minimize all issues have a separate SSID for 2.4ghz thats only straight b/g, and WPA2 only.

I'm getting the same problem others mentioned here:
Has anyone had a problem with your Apollo miner not coming online?? I can connect to the dashboard but cant get the miner to start. The miner powers up and then a solid red light. Mined for a day before this happened.

I followed steps to see if i can fix it like setting fan to 25% and only having one pool (litecoinpool) setup. The miner keeps saying Miner is Offline, try to start it and keeps coming back to that screen once i click the Start button. This miner got delivered today with PSU and micro SD card. What can i do?

Replied to your PM/email.

Help!!!

I got my apollo and its working great. The issue I have is it keeps giving me this error message:


It seems there is a problem to communicate with the miner, check error message.

SyntaxError: Unexpected token in JSON at position 2131



I have no idea what it means and it no matter what I do it will not go away. I have restarted and rebooted the machine to no effect.
It is hashing fine but I cant get to the dashboard anymore.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

hmm thats weird, this is what your seeing when your navigating to the Apollo IP address on a web browser?

Have you tried accessing it through a difference device (smartphone browsers, another computer etc). Could be a local machine issue, but if its causing it on all of them then sounds like a corrupted SD card (just follow the instructions on first post to re-image your card).

So what is everyone mining besides LTC?

Picking up some alts using prohashing pool, so its generically scrypt mining and you pick your payout type.  Right now, I have payouts setup with 5% ADA and 95% LTC.  Gotta rebuild my LTC and figured I could leak 5% towards ADA for a while.

Looks like it's working! Or atleast it seems like it. How do o change my worker default password made on litecoinpool.org

You should just be able to type in a new one and hit save. And then don’t forget to update the pool information on the Apollo dashboard.

And DFW too!

Why is it not letting me private message you?

Looks like both our accounts are too new to send the other a message without opting in to allow messages from noObies.

Your instructions there kind of confused me. So view do I proceed with adding my mining device onto litecoin pool? I tried your instructions and it doesnt add it.

On litecoinpool.org, under my account, you have a spreadsheet of "Workers". You need to add a worker to have it register onto your account. But each worker needs a username and a password.

For example, if your username on Litecoinpool was the same as it is here, LiteLTC, then the start of the username for your "worker" would be "LiteLTC.X". With the X being whatever you decide to name the mining device you're using. And then you must create a password for the device.

You need this information (Username and password) in order to put it into the "pool" section in the Apollo settings.

So next, log into the Apollo dashboard and click on "Pool".

Under URL, you need need the address of the server the pool operates on:

stratum+tcp://litecoinpool.org:3333   (Europe)
stratum+tcp://us.litecoinpool.org:3333   (US East Coast)
stratum+tcp://us2.litecoinpool.org:3333   (US West Coast)
stratum+tcp://ltcpool5brio2gaj.onion:3333   (Tor hidden service)

Under Username, you put the username you created on litecoinpool.
Then you do the same for the password.
Then click the +, Up Arrow, or save… whatever the button is to save the information for the pool. - After that, you should be able to refresh litecoinpool and see the work thats being done by the "worker".

Let me/someone else know if that helps/doesn't help.


Also, in regards to your question about which server you should use, east or west, I don't think it really matters… I just realized I've been pointed to the Europe server and everything is more or less fine. And I'm also in Texas.

Still having issues. Anyway we can talk via some sort of messenger app and you walk me through this. Where in Texas are you from? I'm in the dfw area.

See if this helps.  Start simple, after you signup at litecoinpool, add 1 miner yourusername.yourminer, with a password looks like this

After that, add the pool to your futurebit dashboard to matchas the only pool turned on.  In Texas, pick US, just add 1 pool to get started, once you are up and running, you can go back and add a failover pool later.  Looks like this to match LCP info

Restart the miner and give it a few minutes to get started and hashing, back at your dashboards, both your miner and LCpool you should see work happening.
