Pity that the original FMS devs told me it was in there - hey  Also fun that the API information that Canaan provides shows it also. They have worse support than bitmain and their firmware breaks machines on purpose why they cant run with 2 boards anyhow? |

n0nce thanks for taking the time to make the guides they are very useful as im learning the rest of how bitcoin operates. I think i like baremetal as opposed to arm is there a benefit? What about Mac Mini the latest versions with 16g of ram? i prefer mac os i know its a walled garden but most things are just done right in the os.
I'm hopeful i will get to do my first lightning transaction sometime tonight! everything is done except RTL doing it on futurebit for now but will probably migrate it to a thread ripper that i have sitting for the past 2 years or is that overkill?

The Apollo's are doing wonders for my Linux skills and my knowledge about Bitcoin is improving much faster than before I started mining. I doubt I would have jumped in to mining without the Apollo offer.
If i had any merit to give i would give it to you. the tips you provide help me progress in learning. i do agree i have learned a lot with mining and embedded systems not so much with the futurebit but with some of the older miners which i purchased prior to the futurebit. im just hitting a wall trying to figure out a definitive path to what i wanna do so many options. i lack hardware knowledge at a low level so this has been super challenging for me. and all of the scam talk and other things that go on are really discouraging. |

It is a shame this list has not been filled out.
Is it not the same list of api commands that are in cgminer and bfgminer and every other miner that all use the exact same api? or am i mistaken? when i looked at their python scripts for api commands they were all exactly the same as cgminer. |

They are different products for different types of people.
Well unless you read and write kernel code you have no business mining this should be told to people. Stay strong big farms! |

dont buy this hardware over a year of empty promises futurebit as a company in new york should say it all. scam central this decive still doesnt do half of what it claimed it was going to do and this guy rolls in over a year later saying he rewrote a 5 year old softare as if java is out of data.
this is a pieced together miner mostly useless to anyone its not more efficient than miners from 2017 do not waste your money. just another crypto company taking advantage of regular people. let us see what happens next.
people paid a premium for a mediocre turn key solution and got a dev kit that doesnt relaly do anything you cant do on your own with a t9+ ($100 with power supply) and an old laptop. these are the companies that are killing crypto do not support futurebit.

If the mfgrs are so afraid of the inevitable warranty issues then activate one of the non-resetable flags inside the micro-controlers used to signal intentional operation outside of OEM boundaries so the OEM can check it and also grab a log of settings and take it from there with the user as yes warranty or no.
in my experience 1 go round with trying to warranty any miner is enough to deter any new or small time miner from seeking help from a mining mfg. I think if the true goal is everyone mining than just give all the information so people can make educated decisions and remove warranty after X amount of hash done by miner maybe lock changes for X amount of hash time. I have spent a lot of time trying to figure out how the miners work and almost nobody has the time to do that so i think if you wanted to stiffle mining for new/small timers keep doing exactly what has been done by mining mfgs and all these aftermarket firmwares nobody really wants to run. |

Exact temp does not exactly matter, key point is that the temp is reasonably controlled.
I would like to thank you for the time you invest here and other places you are a true gem. If anyone is new and starting out your best option is to start reading all of this persons post history. |

Blockstream Jade made interesting update in their latest firmware version 0.1.38 with support of CompactSeedQR codes.
Had my eye on that for awhile looks like a neat device but after buying so many hardware wallets ive come to the conclusion at some point you are trusting developers so hardware and software will always have the same amount of risk involved. I see no benefit to a hardware wallet at this point or in the future. Reasons: 1. Users cant read code written in 50+(and counting) programming languages 2. Users cant investigate all these datacenter in a box chips 3. Users cant use dedicated bitcoin to bitcoin hardware and networking without internet 4. Java Trustless is a lie, with that said trust LESS i agree with. edit: 5. ZERO accountability on any level from any software/hardware company for "BUGS" |

so in my thoughts as fast as i can try the maximum nonce tries i will change the header again and have another round
is that correct or i am missing things?
So in finding the nonce using the bitcoin ledger for prior successful block finds as a reference of what to avoid or optimized as the possibility of collisions are so rare? Would this be the hole you speak of? |

Upgrade - far from it.
So are you saying clarification of the actual stratum protocol vs a stratum proxy does not mean its an upgrade? i just skimmed the documents posted. I have messed with stratum last year on my node. i got it working some what but the hash rate was 4x what was expected so i just abandoned it as the provided solo pools were easier and the entire everything is a lot to digest. KanoPool is the best pool. 110% <3 |

Thanks for the detailed reply. I have the skills to understand and follow these instructions (linux, electrum, et al). My only concern is specific to the Apollo. When I got it I immediately updated it to the latest OS patch level - which of course bricked it and I had to re-image and start again. Any chance of issues like that cropping up while using these instructions? Re-imaging and starting from scratch is tedious! Nope, this only happens if you update the Linux operating system itself to a newer major revision. The instructions I provided only update and install packages; not touching the system. Installing electrum and lightning on a different machine is as good as running all on the same? I realize its a little redundant but i have a couple mac minis with dual core processors that should be able to run this instead of taxing the full node. I guess what im asking is does more ram+processor help bitcoind, lightning or electrum more? I have considered just throwing away the sbc part of the full node i just came seem to find a reason for needing it that is obvious to me. it has opened a lot of doors for me tinkering with gpio and pci-e a lot more than i have in the past simply because i never had a reason to do so prior. I think the futurebit product is def something many many non technical people can utilize especially if its secure i do not have any background beyond common sense on security of linux and networking so that was one reason i ordered it. sorry jstefanop its not you its really me im dumb your product is great more so the software i think as i cant unlock all the secrets if there is any of the board itself. standing on the shoulders of giants is great but becoming a mini giant is also rewarding at this point id settle for micro giant. of all the time and money i spent on trying to educate myself in this bitcoin world i think overall its worth it but the frustration really sucks. |

What is it processing if it has no internet connection to the pool to feed it new blocks? What is it working on when it loses connection to the internet?
Sounds suspect to me i wonder why also everything is hosted on 3rd party websites. a trustless future looks amaze off to a good start already. |

1. Run-time without needing to be repaired
2. Software Customization
3. Price
I would like to see more single hash board BTC miners, and updates that don't brick your control board. I don't know anything about manufacturing but letting customers fix their own hardware for common points of failure and giving them the information and parts to do so doesn't seem like a bad thing to me.

It was a big concern of mine too, actually you had motivated me to look into flashing custom Armbian and I made a guide for getting it working even through GPIO.
But that's kind of pointless now, especially since 'Futurebit OS' is actually Armbian too. Just wanted to point that out since from your message it appears that you think they're running Ubuntu.
As far as I know, Armbian is the only distro you can get precompiled for the Orange Pi 4 online.
I'm not sure why people think its ubuntu either. I have had a love hate relationship with my apollos but more love now these things just run and run and run and run. When you make a purchase and you get exactly what you bought and it works thumbs up futurebit and the giants behind all of this. futurebit@futurebitbtc:~$ cat /etc/os-release

Thank you for all your time and help i really do appreciate it. I had interests in learning as much as I could about the different units antminers ive had no issues fixing but for some reason i just cant get any information that i can put to use for this avalon i really wanted to get deeper into asic repair and tweaking but teh knowledge i just so spread out and picking it apart piece by piece is so time consuming. Example my miner says its a 1066 pro but they sent me 1246 firmware and said it was the same thing.
My take is the 1066pro means I have a Avalon 10 based miner which is reiterated with the AVA100 in the api logs. The original controller with the firmware they provided me gave me the same problem I even soldered on connectors and a jumper so i could flash over usb to the MM. in the end i purchased an ebay board for $300 and it worked without issue until i applied their firmware again which i now realize is a mistake.
Again i do really appreciate your help and i would of sent this to a repair tech probably but shipping is costly i have already over invested which is my mistake but i really thought miners were meant to run for years without issues. All of the information is so coveted and im kind of the opposite in that regard i love teaching people and learning myself. I think i just arrived into the mining community 5 or 6 years too late and missed the boat. I have no monetary desire i crave instead knowledge and learning of new technologies!
You are awesome BitMaxz!

correction its still showing 131073 for middle hashboard however before flashing firmware the unit still hashed with two boards
|
|
|
|
|
I have swapped the bad hashboard with another cable from another hashboard and the board shows up and the board i used to swap the wire now shows as bad. Do all these hashboards need to be connected in order for this to hash? There is no signs of corrosion on the terminals the control board was brand new. Do you know anyway i can revert the firmware to an older version?

Here is the log I had flashed to this newest firmware that was sent to me from canaan through email as its not listed on their website on the original board that came with this miner and it ended up doing exactly what its doing now. I bought a replacement board and it ran by then around thanksgiving 1 hashboard went out so i ran it with just two hashboards then thought maybe updating the firmware could fix hashboard as the hashboard didnt have any physical signs that something was wrong. After flashing it just says IDLE at the top. I'm assuming its a firmware problem FMS does not let me roll back the firmware. I have tried all of the top pools so its definitely not a pool problem Im just trying to get this working so i can sell it and recoup what i can. This miner is under warranty but the process is too much for me to do. 3 weeks of usage and a hashboard dies. I realize im a nobody but i can't afford a total loss. any help is appreciated thank you. Also im curious if in the manuals from canaan it says web ui upgrade will always fail, if this is the case why does it even have the option in the ui?

After running my full node for a week and not being able to change the default username and password for the account without crippling the cobbled together software which seems to be some combination of minera mixed with other packages and many other libraries. you say dont forward port 8333 to run a full node thats kind of opposite of how these were advertised also the nag message on the mining screen needing to open port 8333 on router. Also upnp is a terrible idea to have open on a router the default config should be upnp=0.
All the javascript and webui on the main node was a mistake and will probably continue to be a mistake. they were fun to play with but my miners are disconnected and won't ever see a power source or internet again. One hashboard died on day 4 works for about 20 minutes then disables itself these are not plug in play and should not be advertised as such. i see no mention of any warranty on your website(doesnt matter to me as mine are going in the trash).
Sorry if i seem biter the project looked great and i had high expectations, but ive been nothing but burnt from every miner brand i could get my hands on. i think mining is just not for me i dont have enough money to play.
