who are you asking?

I posted it on a thread in the marketplace where someone was asking if a seller would use escrow - I simply posted I would offer. I charge 1% for my escrow services.  As for accusing mods? I am confused, the message I got was that a Moderator deleted it, so I am not accusing, I am asking why would they? I dont want to appeal the deleted post - Again, I am simply asking why would they delete it.


now, that is an answer that makes sense. I see many others that offer escrow do the same. I was just following suite. I also do not reply to all the ads - only if I mentioned in the thread or if someone is asking for seller to use a forum escrow.

I consider the matter closed - I now have an answer that I did not consider but one that makes sense.

yea, I run mine on eco mode as its on my desk - the other two modes make too much noise.

I know some moderators can be heavy handed deleting posts left and right. But would they delete posts in the marketplace of someone who's offering to be escrow? when that person has 100% positive trust and feedback when it comes to buying/selling/escrow?

it says craigslist ad is deleted by poster

both connectors are for the one unit right? or is it so the psu can power two units?

if I recall, he said the 3rd batch are looking the same as 2nd batch

hey, glad I could help! lol

I am using https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/usb-flash-drives/usb-3-1-flash-drive-fit-plus-64gb-muf-64ab-am/

nice on the coupon - I dont have any mine all went away when btc crested 10k a while ago. but let's see if we can both dodge the tariff! lol.

I went with fedex this time, it was about $30 cheaper on shipping - last time I used DHL the total with shipping was 808 - they hit me for the 28% so but on the order before that which was 850ish they only hit me with 2.5%.

mine is supposed to arrive on the 27th too. I am more curious to see if I will be charged the tariff or not. really depends on whether they count the shipping or not, I guess.

trying the first method on that page - it formatted it super quick and properties now show it as FAT32

copying over the "blocks" and the "chainstate" now


update:

did get it formatted as FAT32 - thanks for the link!

Created folder called Litecoin and copied my "blocks" and "chainstate" folders from my litecoin node folder over to the Litecoin folder I created on the jump drive.

shut off Apollo, plugged in the jump drive, started node - after 30 mins or so, I got the node offline message. Tried to start it again and got the message again that node is offline.

update:

it went a little further this round - gave me a "Loading block index..." but then after 15 mins showed "node is offline" so I am shutting it down, wiping the USB drive and starting over again.

update:

so while it is copying the folders over again. I tried to figure out the ssh and found the post that gave the credentials - for some reason, I thought it would be my credentials to log into the miner lol

so as asked, here is what it shows when I run "systemctl status node"



update:

ok drive is reformatted - FAT32 confirmed, "blocks" and "chainstate" folders copied over to the "Litecoin" folder in the drives root directory. Plugged in usb drive to Apollo and hit "start" on the node menu. Let's see what happens now




update:

this time around, I got the "rewinding blocks" and "verifying blocks" messages - had not seen these before so progress right?

here is what ssh shows:


update:

and success, the dashboard loaded! but I had no connections - I think the issue is that I have port 9333 forwarded for the node that runs on my PC - I had to remove that port forward from the pc's ip address and set it for the Apollo's ip address. Rebooting node and will see if that resolves it.

update:

after I shut down node, it gave me an error about displaying stats. I should have taken a screenshot and will if I see it again. I simply restarted the Apollo and once in hit start on the node - while waiting, the apollo has shut down twice - each time I have to restart the node. putty cannot get in to the miner while this is happening either. I am tired and going to bed - I get up in 4 hours for work. After I get going at work, I will revisit this again.

final update:

as you would have it, I was walking away and the Apollo shut down. So, of course I turned around and sat back down. This time the node restarted itself upon booting up - maybe that was the issue? the last two times it restarted, I was hitting start on the node instead of letting it do itself.

I have 12 connections however, my full node/wallet has only 8 (the standard outbound) due to the port forwarding issue - anyone know of a solution so I can run both nodes?

no wonder i am confused lol its all good!

when I formatted it there was not a "FAT32" option. there was two choices "exFAT" and "NTFS" -- I assumed that "exFAT" was just a stupid windows 10 thing.

as for SSH I cannot figure it out for the Apollo I run putty, put in the ip address and when it comes up with user name - I dont know what to enter as I dont enter a user name when i log into the Apollo - so I have tried to just hit enter and enter the Apollo's PW but Putty always tells me its the wrong password.

second edit: I tried to use command prompt, diskpart, list disk, list volume, select volume 7 (that is the jump drive), format fs=FAT32 override (tried the override command to see if it would trump the limit of 32 gb) but it states that I cannot format the drive to FAT32 because the size of the drive is too big

I made the folder "Litecoin" in the root folder and then copied the contents of my existing Litecoin Node to the "Litecoin" folder on the jump drive.

so its like E:\Litecoin\blocks and E:\Litecoin\chainstate and etc etc for all the folders/files that were on my external drive for my nodes (I am running 9 different crypto currency nodes atm and they are all housed on a single 2 tb external USB drive.

I simply copied everything from G:\Litecoin to E:\Litecoin (E:\ being the Samsung jump drive)


one update, I noticed that my regular Litecoin node went from 23 connections to only 8 connections (all outbound) - is there a chance the two nodes interfere with each other? I have never ran multiple nodes on the same network for the same coin. I have shut down my regular node, restarted the Apollo and trying to start the Apollo's node now.

I believe he is trying to say that he has these https://encrophone.com/en/ however, there are very few dealers that you can get these from and I doubt he is one of the few.

I copied everything from my Litecoin folder to the jump drive - I am using https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/usb-flash-drives/usb-3-1-flash-drive-fit-plus-64gb-muf-64ab-am/

I plugged it into the back of the Apollo and restarted the miner, once logged in I select node>start and I get the message "Please wait while node is starting up

This takes 5–15 minutes, and you will be redirected to the node dashboard" with a gear spinning --- after about 15 mins or more it just goes to Node is offline.



So, I hit the start option and it repeats the above and ends with it being offline, I have done this three times.

any suggestions?

fire the website guy lol

is it me or does that have only one connection not two?
