If its not futurebit, just reflash the the SD and start again Can someone tell me the initial password of the apollo ltc?

My BTC NODE : hard drive at 433 GB only 9.65% left ... I am assuming the 500 SSD will run out of space in a year. Did Futurebit get their calculations wrong? I see newer machines are shipping with 1TB SSD. What are we supposed to do?
Are we giving up 1% of our hash as donation to Futurebit? Someone has said this is the case. I usually donate 0.25% (1% is a bit high).
Is this confirmed? I know in the LTC version you can make a voluntary donation. With the BTC unit this option is hidden. Views please.
In the UK the BTC unit is NOT profitable. Rather loss making. Electricity costs are too high: the units are not efficient enough to run at profit.
Has anyone found something that these units can mine profitably? The LTC units are still profitable (thanks mainly to DOGE).
The computer's OS Linux prompts me to update. Should I update or not?
I don't want it to interfere with the FuturebitWebOs (recently updated).

Questions (happy to tip with $NTBC, NoteBlockChain, just post your address: 1. Does BTC version allow for multiple pools to be set up ie for fail over? (exists on the LTC version) 2. Is there a donation option ? (exists on LTC version) or is this being taken automatically on BTC version? 3. Remote controlling the Raspberry pi4 , can we use VNC viewer? seems SSH is supported natively only. Usually VNC is included with debian versions on Linux. 4. When node complete (should take 2-3 days), if I shut down, will Node still be in place (will it update blockchain from where left off). 5. What can we do with Node? Any advantage for newbie or are we just helping the network in the background Recommendations: - multiple pools enabled - allocation of time / hash to different pools - we can measure performance on pools - VNC viewer included in FutureBitOS happy to tip with $NTBC, NoteBlockChain www.notebc.com |

Thanks for reply ... I think I get it so my "username" . "worker name" Happy to tip you in $NTBC if you have a wallet Note Block Chain Do you have any idea why we can only have one pool? LTC model you can set up multiple pools, for fail over, or just easy switching Hi, I'm just getting started.
Not the easiest to set up the BTC version. The LTC Apollo much easier (I have one also).
I seem to be mining on slushpool.
for URL eu.stratum.slushpool.com:3333
I have a user name, but it does not show on slush pool.
QUESTION: on the LTC version I can have multiple pools (great for testing performance; testing set up and spill over)
- BTC version you can only have one pool set up. Why?
QUESTION: on LTC version it is easy to delete your pool set up and start again
- BTC version I can't delete, the pool seems to be always there on reboot
- seems to be always connected to slush pool so I can't delete my worker on slush pool
- slushpool says [auto] disabled and workername offline under "state" but it is mining ...
Thank you
You need to make sure your username on the apollo matches your username on the pool. you can add a worker extension so.... "username.worker" To change the pool details I going to assume you havent clicked the "SAVE" button at the top once youve changed it. If you dont it will revert back to the last saved settings. |

additional question
in pool set up, pools give worker names
- we only have user name in setting up the apollo btc (should we put the worker name here?)

Hi, I am new here. Can anyone tell me if the Terminus R606 is profitable in 2021?
- I cannot find any information
I have a windows PC running Nicehash with its RX 570 GU, could I also run the R606 simultaneously on CG Miner ?
- will nice hash running same time as CGMiner work?
Any other advice in setting up and profitability.
I have an Apollo BTC on order ... and just wondering if R606 is worth it with BTC above $50,000
Many thanks

Thankyou for asking this question and answering. Could not understand why I could not run a multi strategy or mine two different coin, like lite coin and block chain note NTBC it seems it is one or the other 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. |

Can you mine two pools / balance ? so far I can add multiple pools but only failover strategy.
Can you dual mine two currencies?

So I bought the last Apollo on Bithopper ... now need a GPU + lead . Can anyone point me in the right direction on eBay or Amazon ( country UK) for what I will need. I can't seem to find any information. Obviously I want something quiet that keeps the ethos of this project. thanks Hi, is it worth waiting for batch 2 ? I can get hold of a v1 now in Europe. Will their be any improvements in batch 2? What sort of mining are you guys doing ? shared or solo ? Surely even at 100mh we have no chance of making a profit or even break even ? Thanks for advice on batch 1 or 2 Does anyone know how to put their email address on the mailing list for batch 2 pre-orders?

I am cosmiconion ... been mining for a week on this pool. It did go down a couple days with no word. I have 8 moonlanders working 24hours . Stripped the fans and using my own arctic fans. I get about 28Mhz. Do I need to do anything for this fork ? Wanted to buy some NYC ... but YoBit a nightmare, can't even open an account. 
Support NYC?
Who will have time to sit on the departing train?
Miners who will earn coins on the official pool without FEE - http://nyc.mypool.club/index.php
New software update today.
Miners are invited. By the way, exactly one year. Birthday is supported by NYCCOIN tomorrow.
Happy Birthday !
The pool that supported and saved the currency last year.
For a year gave and gives to all - from CPU to ASIC automatically setting the complexity.
I got up and will support. And you?.

found solution : cd ~/git/vthoang/cgminer/ sudo usermod -G plugdev -a `whoami` sudo cp 01-cgminer.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/ sudo reboot from here : https://www.eyeboot.com/download/GekkoScience_2PAC_BM1384_USB_Stick_Miner/2PAC_BM1384_USB_Setup_Guide.pdfits written badly , so you have to tweek as all joined it is a real shame that both bitcoin forum and bitshopper.de have inadequate instructions on both 2pac and moonlander 2. have had to find other ways to set up. sloppy work by the big guys.

Hi thanks for your help ... I sort of follow the instructions. I set in the console frequency 100 (in bash write ./cgminer -2pac -freq 100 et ... ) , starts at 100, then goes back to 75, weird My Pi only seems t be able to run 2 2pac, I assume my powered hub is not good enough 0 and 1 running at 75 mhz , and 2 is OFF . if I enable 2 , it will just run at 0. NB I am just starting in mining and have limited linux knowledge.
welcome to the club  I've put a text file on the raspbian desktop with the lines below in it. I just need to open it and copy paste the first 2 lines in the console to run it and that sudo leafpad one to edit the config cd ./mining/2pac/cgminer sudo ./cgminer #edit settings sudo leafpad /root/.cgminer/cgminer.conf #show devices ./cgminer -n #run miner at specific freq ./cgminer --gekko-2pac-freq 150 |

when setting up my cgminer/ linux raspberry pi , I changed frequency to 75 (1st time I started to use my 2PAC, as did not have a fan). It now seems stuck on 75 frequency (a bit low). In terminal I put in start up command and added 100 at end to change frequency : cgminer starts , says working at 100, but then says changing to 75 (again). I can't find the config file (I assume this is where I would have to change). Thanks for your help. NB I am just starting in mining and have limited linux knowledge. indeed Sidehack,
I think my 2A phone charger power supply ain't stable enough but it's hard to find powered hubs in Belgium that deliver full power to each port and not the standard 0.5A.
I went back to 150MHz as I figured out this night that it stopped mining again after a while and I could not get it working again at 200, 180 either as it stopped after seconds/minutes again.
Now it worked fine through the night at 150.
this is my current stats
0: BSD 10015542: BM1384:2 150.00MHz HW:0 | 21.28G / 16.36Gh/s WU:228.5/m
Thanks for adding the leds, it's not only cool looking but it notifies me when something is wrong if it doesn't flash after a few seconds.

currently have 1 2PAC , with 2 more arriving soon. I mine CKPOOL + ANTPOOL BTC , balance strategy. I figure earning some pennies in BTC, whilst playing lottery solo (but pooled) in CKPOOL. I don't know how I saw over it but a search for "2pac pool" lead to the first post of this thread mentioning ckpool, I moved to this pool now.

Thanks for reply. 7 MNL2 now mining away. I have 6 offsite using VNC to control. 1 at home, but will also transfer to offsite address once my 90degree USD extenders arrive. I have a proper USB hub, so I think good for 10 MNL. I am running at default clock. Set up is noisy and soon getting into L3+ territory! I find that hanging USB best way to keep noise / vibration down (alas I don't have a safe set up to do this). Mining ... 7 MNL getting roughly 24MH on litepool.org , am up to 0.0075 LTC ... this is slow and very unprofitable. Questions: 1.So using BFGMiner / Linux / Raspberry Pi : how do I point my miners towards other coins ? 2.Can you mine other coin with BFG Miner ? 3.Am I stuck with litecoinpool.org ? 4.Can I mine solo ? 5.I would like to mine NewYorkCoin , Vertcoin , Dogecoin , is this possible ? I have a wallet with Coinomi that seems to support loads of coin (vs coinbase that has my LTC wallet but only supports about 5 coin). Thanks I have 7 MNL2 (6 on their way) 1 up and testing : raspberry pi 3 running one MNL on litecoin pool. I can see clearly now that at 9million difficulty and earning 0.0001724303117568 LTC over 24 hours , that is 1p . With 7 MNL2 running I will be making 7p every 24hours. This is seriously loss making. I would have invested almost £470 invested for 7 miners + 2 USB (one serious USB) I paid roughly £64 each miner ... looks like I will make a serious loss. Should I have bought a Bitman Antminer L3+ for £250 ? This is all new to me. I am pleased that I am finally mining. I also think the raspberry pi is a great tool. Love the fact can control via VNC tool. The MLN2 has the advantage of being quiet and be mined from home. Surely we should find new pastures for the MNL2 away from LTC ? We have the advatange of such low wats to hash ... there must be somewhere we can use this to our advantage ? LTC must be mined at a loss for everyone if entering market now? Difficulty jumped so much, which is weird given price has dropped. Are there any ASIC resistant coin we can mine ? How would you set up the Raspberry pi ? I just managed to set up BFG miner , and that was not easy. One note on BFG, we are told to update to new version , however all the instructions / tutorials only explain how to install the 1st version on a raspberry pi. Could someone tell me how I can check which version of BFG I am running, and step by step how to upgrade ? i.e. sudo gets install method. I am also thinking, why can't we here set up a coin. For the Futurebit Moonlander community ? Optimised for our miners i.e. not pure hash power, however efficiency will play part. Coin , needs a community, well it starts here : we have the mining tool that is both affordable and cheap to run and not too difficult to set up (this will improve). Thanks for any replies But I want to try and mine another coin/token-maybe Digibyte or another Scrypt one in hash-to-coins.
Many Antminer L3+ were sold in the last few months, so I saw difficulty almost double. You can try multipool.us if you want to try a multi coin pool that will switch automatically for you. Even if you have 6 MLDs, I don't think you'll recoup your investment ever, especially with cost of electricity. Do it for fun and leave it at that. Quick couple of points - although it's tempting to work your 'earnings' back into fiat, do bear in mind that LTC is very low at the moment, so that'll make you feel worse. Always best to look at the coin earnings rather than the conversion rates. Secondly, LTC has seen a massive spike in difficulty, as others have noted, so best hunt around for other options - hashfaster has a few, and there are plenty of other scrypt coins out there - solo mining something esoteric might work too. |
