Received the miner, configured the pool but I get this on the dashboard
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:4028
Not sure what to do now. I restarted the miner, rebooted the system but same thing.
Led blinks yellow and I can see that miner is ONLINE (but 0.0 H/s) on the top of the dashboard
Edit: After a while, miner goes offline with red led
edit: So I switched off and on the donation pool and it looks like it did the trick
What pool were you trying to connect too? |

my miner is acting funny. not mining.
started from scratch, new sd card, new image, new etch.
it loads up, see it on the dashboard, starts mining then goes offline within 10 seconds
starts back up.
repeat. repeat.
this pops up.
Error: ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:4020
thoughts?
Do you see a Red LED when it does this? I do yes. It seems to be in a cycle of restarting. When it boots go set the fan speed manually to around 25% and see if it stops. |

I received the PSU the other day and went to check on it after a few days of being used. The PSU is warm which is normal but the cable from PSU to the miner is warm too. i would say just 1/4 of length from PSU to miner is warm. I'm not sure if the cable is supposed to be warm?
When i had my other PSU plugged in the cable wasn't warm. So just want to double check on this.
Thats fine, that's just residual heat from the PCB being dumped back into the copper cables. You only have to worry if the black housing on the 6 Pin connector or the cables near it is super hot...this means some sort of bad electrical connection, and you should shutdown, unplug, and replug the connector and make sure its firmly in there. |

I recd my new PSU - thanks! But, I notice it only has one output plug whereas the Apollo has two plug receptacles. My off-the-shelf PSU had a cable with an extra head on the end and that worked fine. How should I plug in the new PSU to the Apollo unit?
Just plug it into the right port. Remember to never plug another PSU/PSU cable into the spare port, this will either blow up one of the PSUs or cause a fire. Thanks! That worked. For clarity the "right" port is as viewed from the back. Maybe better noted as the VGA power port nearest the edge of the box? Yea were working on "official" support docs that will have all this stuff clarified. Its does not really matter which, they are both electricaly connected the same, the right one is just closer to the mosfets. |

What? your only supposed to plug in ONE PSU cable?  the quick start guide says to "Plug in both 6 Pin PCIE power cables from your ATX or server power supply" never mind I think I miss read that... Yes thats for ATX power supplies. We designed our PSU to run with one cable because it has thicker wires, some ATX supplies come with really thin wires which can overheat them. |

One minor miner issue: The first one I set up was working fine, but as I restarted the 3 units on the same PSU, that first one didn't have the amber LED at startup. Then I set up wifi, and restarted them again. It took a while for the green/red to start blinking. Now that unit has no front LED indication at all. Tried putting it back on wired ethernet, as well as reflashed the SD card for grins, but no change. Otherwise, it appears to be humming along just fine.
Q: Is there a connector that may have come loose, or could this be a harbinger of things to come for the board?
Thanks!
Just throwing this back out there since we're on a new page. Wondering if it is worth opening up. Thats weird, you could try lifting the controller board a bit out of its socket and re-set it in there and make sure its seated in there well. If its still not working just shoot me a PM, could just be a bad LED module that need to be replaced. |

hoping to see mine shipped soon. been just over 6 weeks since order - I think its only been delayed 2 weeks so far though, I believe was supposed to ship the week of the 15th.
Orders placed in end of June/july have been delayed a bit more since you guys have been waiting he least. We are still sending out all May/Beginning of June pre-orders this week. thank you for the update - would have been nice to see it ship on time though but I understand that sometimes these things happen Yea, unfortunately everything that could go wrong went wrong with scheduling this time around, and we ate weeks worth of delays over small things :/ I have upgraded everyones order to USPS 2 Day priority from a week fedex ground shipping, this should make up a bunch of lost time for most of you. |

Is there a way to reset dashboard password on the box or I need to re=flash the image again on SD card? For some reason my password is not correct even thou i was able to access it before.
Unfortunately no, this is by design. You need to re-image the sd-card if you forget you password. |

has anyone made any adjustments to the voltage or frequencies and wish to share them? And also I seem to be getting a lot of HW Errors is this normal? I'm fairly new at this so any input will be appreciated  Yes this is normal. The number of hardware errors does not really matter, just keep an eye on the HW % on the top box. Even the best units won’t have anything less than .5% errors. As long as it’s under 2% your fine. |

I got mine on Monday or Tuesday and no cracks or dings on the miner. Packaging was good. (will post some pix when i get home) Its up and running in ECO mode but fan is on Auto which avg like 900 - 1050 RPM. My son says the fan is loud. (FYI i'm deaf) Makes me wonder if the fan is "sucking" air off the heat sinks and up thru the top. ( can feel it)
This normal?
Yes thats normal, air is blown out the top. Fan in 1k RPM range should be barely audible though. |

Hello guys! As with a lot of people here I'm brand new to mining. In fact, the ease of the Apollos is what got me hooked. My question is more pool-related and not hardware related. I am pointed to nicehash as a primary and litecoinpool and a secondary. I find that my equipment fails over to litecoinpool just about daily. Is that normal? Is that something on the pool side, or should I look at my hardware?
Unfortunately you cant mix multipools with other pools on bfgminer . What happens is that bfgminer accepts block updates from even secondary pools connected to other coins, so it screws up the main pool while mining litecoin for example. For secondary pools you have to make sure the backup pool is running the same coin your primary pool is running (ie if your running litecoin as your main pool dont have your backup pool connected to a mutipool or some other coin). If you want to run on a mutlipool it has to be the only pool configured (ie no backup pool, and you have to run off donation pool) for it to work correctly. I was in this exact same dilemma with my Apollos which I want to run on multipools and have backups configured for failover. I then decided to give https://github.com/Stratehm/stratum-proxy a try which does a great job for this purpose. On a side note: One of my Apollos crashed regulary (every 4-7days) and I suspected it to be related with the pool going down or being unreachable for short moments (and refused to reflash it out of lazyness). Since I run it over the above proxy I've got zero crashes (right now it is a bit more than 4 weeks without any hiccups). Also I can now just switch between configured pools with a mouse click, no restarts required. The only downside is that you need a separate machine for it (either a little VPS or something like a RPI), I don't think it can or should be run on an Apollo directly. HTH It can be run directly on the apollo, I actually thought about doing this for a temporary fix until I have time to fix bfgminer. |

Compiled all my main kernels... well, need to say bye-bye to writing any code using OpenCL from now xD Results are bad for complex kernels and playing in game "compiler, please, don't spill so many registers" is not fun anymore.
what do you mean The only way your going to get any good performance out of this architecture is with ASM kernels...which people are already running privately of course  |

Received my shiny new batch 2 Apollos this past weekend! ( I didn't hesitate with the pre-order in May)
I can say the new case design looks much nicer and cleaner than batch 1. All of my Apollos are hashing away on litecoinpool till the halving event in a few weeks, which could change everything. Donation pool is running on two of my Apollos as quite a lot of efforts has been poured into this awesome product.
Hopefully the conversation in mid August can pivot to running a (full) node.
Post pics! How did they fair shipment in the new packaging? |

Go away, troll. We have kernels for Navi - RDNA isn't that different from GCN. The problem is that the GPUs are "locked down" for ethash mining by either limiting the number of TLB entries, or lowering the page size. This may be unintentional but we suspect that it is by design, probably to prevent miners from buying out all Navi GPUs and leaving the gamers with high prices and low availability. RX5700 is the first very competitive AMD gaming GPU since Polaris, so they probably want to win some market share as far as gaming market goes. We hope that this is not hardware limitation and a future driver will remove it but only time will tell.
With the current no-so-great mining profitability, they really didn't have to do this but it's absolutely their choice, and with the current prices of Polaris, it is still one of the best cards for ethash mining. If the Navi cards weren't locked down, they would achieve hashrate in the 50 MH/s ballpark. We are still working on some kind of workaround but it doesn't look good at this moment.
All those limitations can be worked around in linux easily if thats the only issue preventing ethash from working properly. |

lol...good luck raising the 100s of millions needed to develop and tape out and produce silicon of a custom FPGA chip at a sufficiently low enough node to make economical sense. There is a reason why there are only a few FPGA companies and they sell their chips in the 1000s.

If I read that right - orders w/psu's should be shipping by the end of this week - so right around the corner. @jstefanop if you need any help let us know - some of us have spare time on our hands and dont mind helping out  Thanks for the offer, but it has been a waiting game for the power supplies (unfortunately those are coming from China). We have been shipping out the Standard/SD card units this week, and looks like our first shipment of power supplies is going to get to our Factory on Monday (7/22). So people that ordered a Full Package in May should have theirs go out next week. We should be done with the bulk of pre-order shipments by the week of the 29th. |
