I have two and set them both up last night. I setup the first one and added to my wireless. Then I powered on and setup the second one and it gave me a struggle after I added to wireless. It seemed to me they stepped on each other because the first one quit mining. But its possible I screwed up because I was on NyQuil so I switched one back to wired and both hashing away. I'd like to change the dns name from local to local2 or something just to keep them straight on my network. How can I do that?
BTW, left them both set to default and hashing away at about 102HM. And I can't believe how easy the mining interface is to configure.
Best way to set up multiple right now is to just power one on a time, find its IP address set it up, power it down, power up the second one and repeat, then power on the first. Either way the wifi is buggy right now, but there is no reason why they both should not work. Can you shoot me a screen shot of the Network info side panel for both machines when you get the chance? |

Got the package. Looking awesome, just like the pictures!
Congrats on doing a really nice job with these, impressive production and great to see improvements to the entire process.
A real step up from the moonlander. Next up Mars?
Thats awesome to hear  Im glad you guys are impressed with the final result as much as we are. Now just collect those coins while the diff has been the lowest its been in over a year |

Got it today mining at 100M, having some problem with Wi-Fi option and failover seems to be the only option with multiple pools. More to assess though.
Which pools are you trying to use? Wifi is very buggy right now, but should work with most b/g WPA2 networks. Currently wifi will NOT work on open networks (i.e. needs a password), and you'll have mixed results if your router is in mixed mode etc |

does anyone know the fan size in this miner. I want to get a noctua fan of the same size for increased silence
Fan is a 6k RPM PWM 92x38mm, but keep in mind all device programing is based on this fan...if the hardware monitor detects RPMs out of range it will auto-shutdown the miner. Fan monitoring is pretty lax, and you can probably get away with a 3-4k RPM fan but in that case it probably wont be able to cool past balanced mode (there is still a over temperature shutdown for that case if the fan can't keep up so you should still be fine). I overbuild all my products for the worse case scenario, and the fan/heatsink has to be able to keep up in a wide range of temperatures/environments so while the fan is pretty quiet in eco I could have obviously gone quieter but sacrificed top end cooling ability. |

this one :  Yea thats the same type of SDXC UHS card as the 64 I tested, so I guess anything past 64 wont work. If anyone else has other 128GB or larger cards they can test let me know. Either way 64 is more than enough when we release the full node/lightning update. |

just received mine i try to boot one with an 128gb sdcard it's not working, i burnt an old 16gb and it start  only one is working for the moment as i dont have a second small sdcard, its stable and not too noisy Which 128GB SD card do you have? |
|
|

FYI I have tested SD cards up to 32GB....it could be that 64 and 128GB are not supported by the MCU, but those are overkill for this anyway even if you want to run a full node (~25GB requirement).
Either way just ordered a 64 (10 bucks! can't believe SD prices these days), and will report on monday.
Did you ever test your card? I have a 64GB card too so I hope it will work. Yep, just got it in and loaded it up works great. Might be that 64GB is the cutoff (that or the type of SD card). This is the 64GB I tested: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XX29S9Q |

My Apollos just received and properly hashing. 0 problems. Both 240w at the wall... With a Seasonic 80 Gold Plus 450w PSU. I was expecting about 110W each at the wall  . Maybe new software versions improve comsumption . 110 at the wall in eco will be for platinum rated psus (92+% effeciency). 120 sounds about right for gold which I think is 87%+ but depends on PSU and you factor in board variance of +\- 5% or so for silicon lottery. You are right though there is room for improvement software wise and we were a bit conservative on the voltages. |

well isn't this the reason why people stop mining? when you have to pay more bills than what you earn in FIAT then it would make more sense to buy bitcoin directly,mining at break even is also a loss , since you are consuming a product that has a very limited -life span ( both technically and economically) while you can just sell it and buy bitcoin instead.
anyone mining at a loss or break even could be categorized as one of these ( at least in my opinion)
1-They believe in BTC more than they believe in their wives, the are simply mining to satisfy a mysterious genius "Japanese" person's Vision(very RARE)
2- They want to get bitcoin without having to go through banks and KYC B.s , aka a secret fund ( very a few)
3- They think the price of bitcoin will recover before they have to pay their bills or at least not before the point where they can't afford it ( not many )
4- some people are just stupid ! ( many )
Sure people called lots of things stupid when they couldn't understand the true nature and vision of what they playing with...definitely not calling them stupid now You can say holding on to the fundamentals of the technology naive all you want, but thats my creed and thats what I go by and why its worth the effort I put into this. Just like people put value on Bitcoin itself, there is more "value" to mining than the pure bitcoin you get out of it. But alas you are right most people ARE stupid but not in the way you think. Its kind of the same reason why democracy is failing today because people dont find the incentive or profit to go "vote". |

For most of us, mining has ALWAYS been about profits.
The majority of miners (and probably the LARGE majority of us) can't AFFORD to mine if we're LOSING MONEY at it.
Your only "losing" money if your comparing it to fiat and mining on a large scale. The only case ill agree with you is when you can buy any crypto for less than its electricity cost For me bear markets are the most fun, because as far as I'm concerned this is the MOST profitable time for me (i.e. I get to pick up more coins for the same equipment than a few months ago). I could care less what greedy traders, manipulators, and fraudsters in the industry think the price is worth, all I care is that I have more bitcoins than yesterday. Ill cherish the day when there are 10's of millions mining bitcoin on their 100 watt machines, and could care less what what it costs to mine since a single light bulb wont make a dent in their power bill, and this causes all centralized mining farms to go belly up. THATS the true vision of Bitcoin, and anyone that disagrees does not get it. |

I'm pretty sure Bitcoin was not designed to be a charity case. If it were I presume the idea would've been binned instantly as hopelessly naive. It was always going to be ravaged if it requires good will. There isn't very much of that in the world, even more so when it comes to money.
It's about boxing and pointing self interest towards the benefit of something bigger. That requires profit and plenty of it.
Charity and a decentralized distribution system are not the same. Part of Bitcoins current issue, and general adoption issue is that fact that the barrier of entry for new adopters is just too high, and nearly all new coins issued are going to a centralized cartel and dumped straight onto exchanges by a select few industrial miners. You tell me what the Bitcoin ecosystem would look like if there were 10 or even 100 million home miners mining at 1TH/s each, instead of 10,000 farm miners each circle jerking each other and dumping their coins. You'd have a true user base engaged at the base level, with a wide distribution of coins and a real market for real businesses to adopt the currency, and the price would reflect that. |

My first unit arrived. Mining away now, with 102.65 MH/s, Eco mode, fan on auto. Temperatures 65.5 for miner and 68.0 C for MCU. PICTURES: https://imgur.com/a/tvMZvj0Amazing job, jstefanop! Thanks!...so cool to finally see these in the wild  |

I get kinda sad when I see some old timers on here talking about mining in terms of profitability. Mining was never about profits...people that talk about that I put in the same group as traders, hypers, and get rich quick guys that ruined bitcoin back in 2013, and again in 2017. Mining is here to secure the network and DISTRIBUTE coins period. If your mining and selling your coins your doing it wrong.
I hope bitmain and all large scale miners eat their shit this year. Crypto was supposed to be more than about pure greed, and the influx of greed I have seen in the past year in this space has made me sick.
Maybe if this happens guys like myself and sidehack will have a chance again to keep distributing miners and spreading out the hash to thousands if not hundreds of thousands more and maybe see the space go back to a slight vision of what it should look like.

I received mine too ! With a small transport damage on both sides !   Will post laters if the miner works fine or if there is an other damage inside too ! Update :
Mining works great !  Looks like its only the transport damage , as far the miner works i am fine with that ! Thanks @jstefanop Hmm that’s discouraging, thought these would withstand a good beating with our packaging. Shoot me a PM with pics of the box and packaging if you can. I’ll send you over new side panels. |

It's a lot more than this but soon they will recover, their business logic is unbeatable, selling year old asics as new cant go wrong and there are plenty idiots that buy from them.
I would love to see them go belly up, but sadly the extracted so many billions out of everyone during the boom that they can probably afford a few billion dollar quarter losses. |

I missed out on these. Have you any future plans for a second batch?
Sign up on the site, will be sending out and email with date and time that orders open up for in-stock units. One be for at least a week though until renaming pre-orders are shipped out. |
