1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Small Miners, how much do you make ? on: October 13, 2019, 04:33:06 AM
Guys i want to know how much do you make per day mining ?

What Coin/Algorithm Do you mine ?
What Hardware ?
When you Cashout your earnings ?

Per 100 watts of hashing power, I'm making about US$0.72/day.

Has anyone done any testing on switching the fan from an exhaust to an ingress orientation? I am thinking about doing that, after cleaning out the heatsink (full of dust) and putting a dust filter over the top if I do switch the orientation. Ultimately what I'm trying to do is get better temps over longer periods of time, with less maintenance. This is the first time I've had to clean dust out of the heatsink, but it's taken about an hour to do. I more like the idea of periodic cleaning of the dust filter instead Smiley

EDIT: The other option I'm considering is just applying more dust filters to the present intakes (on the sides), and at the front; luckily 92mm dust filters mostly line up with the screws that hold the sides onto the main frame. That said, a single 92mm filter leaves a small gap near the rear end of the side intakes, about 1cm wide, where there's no filtration.

The heatsink is specifically designed for the fan to run as an exhaust instead of pushing air through the top. While you can run it this way it was designed like this to have the highest thermal efficiency at low fan speeds. If you run it reverse you'll find that the fan will need to run at much higher RPMs to keep the same temps. I guess if noise is not an issue for you there is no harm in trying since the controller will compensate for reduced thermal efficiency...I wouldn't do this in Turbo mode though since even at 5-6k RPM that fan might not be able to keep up in this configuration.

Ok thanks for the authoritative response. I'm gonna give a go at putting some 92mm dust filters around the 3 sides then, keep them as exhausts and see if that helps the dust situation for the next 3 months or so.

I'm seeing something really weird with my second Apollo (one of the final ones in Batch 1)

In eco mode, the Apollo sees roughly 2.2% to 3.0% hardware errors; but in balanced mode, 0.8% to 1.1%. Is this likely just silicon lottery, meaning this particular apollo needs more voltage? If so, what are the settings for each of the pre-baked modes?

Yea ECO mode is slightly more aggressive with voltage than the other modes, stock ECO values are 600MHz and 750mV...you should be fine if you bump it up to 775.

Few hours it's been running in custom with eco settings +25mV (to 775) and hw errors have dropped to < 1%. Thanks!

Perhaps a novice question, but in the past couple of weeks my Apollos haven't been producing the same 24 hours rewards at litecoinpool - it's dropped. Please tell me it's not because of anything with the Apollos. The only change I've noticed is the difficulty has gone up from 8,917,884 to 10,360,375. Am I right to conclude "difficulty" = more work required of the Apollos and therefore less payout in a given 24 hour period?

Hey - like I said, I'm a novice but confirmation would be nice.

Yeah difficulty has gone up, but check the litecoinpool account settings to ensure you're still getting shares, and the reward is still increasing; it should be shares * pps rate. It probably is going up slower, because the pps rate has changed, yet your hash rate is the same (or similar).

So how many of Apollos are left to buy?


Pretty sure batch 1 is sold out now, which you can see confirmed on futurebit.io's shop's product list.

Look on the first page of this board you will find it there for the new image.

That worked thanks, not sure why I kept thinking it was apollo_final.img.zip showing up there.

I'm running my newest Apollo now, I used the image in the original post to flash an SD card, it works, I'm mining. However, it's v0.0.1 in the dashboard, whereas on my first Apollo it's v0.0.2 ... where's the latest image available at?

Silicon lottery aside for the moment, at default frequency, what's the lowest voltage people have been able to maintain? At 710.4mV right now, 598MHz, seems to be stable, HW errors are reasonable

I had 598 at 740.1 mv errors were 0.6%
I am now testing

598 at 722.85 mv  errors are 0.9%

Cool good to have a comparison, at 710.4mV, I'm running 1.3% errors. At stock voltages and frequency (eco mode not custom) i'm around 0.9% error to 1.1% error.
