Currently have mine on slushpool. After I have enough to receive a payout can anyone recommend a solid P2Pool with a lower hashrate that is finding blocks?

Nice setup. Would you mind sharing build details? Parts used? Thanks, Here is the parts I used: Parts list: *LIAN LI O11 Dynamic XL ROG Certificated - White Color - Tempered Glass on the Front, and Left Side - E-ATX, ATX Full Tower Gaming Computer Case *2x CORSAIR HX Series HX750 CP-9020137-NA 750W ATX12V v2.4 / EPS12V 2.92 80 PLUS PLATINUM Certified Full Modular Power Supply *Ethernet Extension Cable,RJ45 Male to Female Screw Panel Mount CAT6/5e/5 Shielded Network LAN Extender Cord Connector *iDsonix USB 3.0 Hub, 7-Port 12V / 2A Powered USB Hub with Individual Switches 5Gbps High Speed Transfer BC1.2 (5V2.4A) Fast Charge USB Splitter *2x GIM KB-24 RGB Case Fans, 5 Pack 120mm Quiet Computer Cooling PC Fans, Music Rhythm 5V ARGB Addressable Motherboard SYNC/RC Controller, Colorful Cooler Speed Adjustable with Fan Control Hub *HDMI Cable Right Angle 90 Degree Elbow HDMI Cord *ESCAM T10 10 inch TFT LCD 1024x600 Monitor with VGA HDMI AV BNC USB for PC (Apollo BTC HDMI output is not compatible with this monitor, Hoping for a video output fix as this is a known problem that the HDMI output does not work on all monitors) *USB wireless keyboard and mouse. * The case has a few mods to fit and run cables and I fabricated a custom mounting bracket to suspend the Apollo units with in the case. This setup is overkill but it makes for a great focal piece and conversation starter in the house. Its compact, clean, organized, quiet unit to display the hard work that has been put in to building of the Futurebit Apollo BTC from jstefanop and his team, and support the project. Have had a few friends and coworkers place orders in batch 2 and 3 from this. Still waiting to receive a shipping order fulfillment to be shipped from batch 2 to start another project. Wow Gorgeous setup  Kudos to you and thanks! Wow, that looks awesome. What is your operating temperature? Thanks, Ambient temp kept in the house is 20-22c and the units can run in Turbo mode from 59-67c mostly sitting at 65c. and less in balanced or eco. Damn is that a nice looking setup! I really like the idea of using a computer case for a bunch of miners, wouldn't have thought of that myself. But it looks good and keeps dust out! What are you displaying on that screen except a FutureBit logo? Thanks, Yes the case has fan intake filters and helps keep the dust out. The monitor is meant to display the GUi dashboard but as mentioned above not working as intended with this screen option. This is absolutely GENIUS and my wife wants me to buy and assemble immediately in order to organize my farm better. Roughly how much does this cost to build minus the monitor keyboard and mouse? I have all those things I also have all the Ethernet cables and network switches. Just need the case and fans! Take care and happy mining! BTC |

Has anybody changed the custom Miner Settings to "overclock" the Apollo BTC and if so what settings have been found to be stable? I'm trying to push my unit to successfully hash at a rate of 3.8T/s. I have an 850Watt ATX Power supply that is going to be powering it so that is more than enough power.

I have a problem, I paid for two apollo-btc units , (batch one), and only one arrived. Since then I have sent all the documentation requested, received an apology, and assurance that the missing items were to mailed out, but after three weeks now nothing, not even a response to my recent inquiries about the status of my unfulfilled order. Its only about $350 in BTC but the reputation of the company is in my mind very bad. Its one thing to make a mistake and fix it, but to ignore my email inquiries into my paid order is not something a reputable establishment can or should survive. At best the over priced bug ridden device billed as an American company achievement is now starting to look like more of a disgrace. Just wondering who else has similar problems before I get banned from posting.
As a customer of FutureBit before it was FutureBit, I can tell you that your experience is certainly not indicative of the performance of John's company over these many years from the original Moonlander through this rig: I can also say that you can complain publicly until the cows come home, and I'd still gladly buy every unit John would make available to me. You make yourself look bad by making truly unfounded complaints like these publicly (bug ridden/overpriced) - disputes like this are always best handled privately between the two parties. If you don't want your rigs, sell them to me for the full price you paid for them and forget you ever posted in this thread. I'm available by PM here. r00tdude jbrow8 Forget about r00tdude! Sell them to me first! These Rigs stand for everything the original pioneers stood for! Performance and price wise you wont find anything that can compete. There is a reason why so many are being sold and why a lot of people complaining they keep missing out on purchasing one is because they are great little quiet desktop workhorses chomping at the BTC! (pun intended) and I'm all with r00tdude.. go take this up with John himself in private have some class. |

SO..... I tried something clever. But I failed in my endeavor.  I tried downloading bfgminer onto my new futurebit apollo btc so that I can plug a USB hub into the port and run my Moonlander 2 but I get an error because I must have downloaded the wrong build. Correct me because I am a complete n00b dealing with Unix systems. Just thought it would be cool. Looks like I'll just sell the USB miner since i cant figure out a way to get it up and running. As always, Happy Mining! Come on Batch 3 Release!!!!!!! BTC  |

Newbie questions...
I have 3 Apollo BTC miners up and running with no issues. Full node downloaded in 1.5 days. :-)
I have a controller and 2 standard units. I am running in turbo mode. Hash rate is ~3.1 I see all 3 in the dashboard.
Is there any way to increase the power on one of the standard units that is running with a 500W power supply? The other 2 are running the 200W PS. If they all need to be managed by the same rules, I will buy 2 more 500W power supplies if that allows me to increase the hash rate . If I do that, how do push all three to the 3.8TH/s limit? Do I need to adjust the power in "Custom Miner Mode"? If so, how high should I go?
Thank you in advance for your help/advice.
"*Our FutureBit 200W power supply is limited to ~ 3 TH/s, 3.8 TH/s is only achievable with an external > 300 watt power supply"
Is achieving higher hash rates as easy as powering down the unit, plugging in an external PSU (example:Gold Standard 800watt) and turning back on with the new PSU? No, you need to set the speeds manually Is this done under custom miner settings? |

Came home from work today, and the miner had timed itself out. No big deal because I Restarted my miner and it was up and running again no issues. Only thing is now it is starting to make an awful sound every couple seconds. I have a feeling this noise is coming from the fan since it is a moving part. has anyone else run into this issue yet? If so what is the remedy. Should I safely stop the unit from mining and safely shut down the node till i find the culprit or is it safe? Operating temperature is fine. Everything looks great besides this weird sound. have been running in ECO mode since the unit came online. Haven't messed with any settings. Maybe something is coming loose or starting to?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Has anyone made an informational How-to video on getting The Node up and running? I have an external SSD 1TB and I'd like to set it up as a full node to further decentralize the network. I know he posted directions but I am unsure how to format the SSD and get it up and running. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Please quote me or send me a private message with possibly a link to a step by step video or more clear directions. Thanks and happy mining!

I purchased a Moonlander 2 second hand on offerup 5 months ago for $20. Go to ebay and now they are selling in auctions for Hundreds of Dollars! Mining coins to HODL without KYC is exactly why I got into this hobby!

Full Node finally finished the blockchain sync. Any guess as to when we will need to upgrade the 500gb to something bigger?
2 years Full Node disk space additions without address index and also ignoring blocks/index: Dec 6.1G Jan 6.4G Feb 5.8G Mar 6.4G Apr 5.8G May 6.4G So going on 6.1G a month and a 512GiB drive holds 460GB in disk space (and ignoring anything else there) and current is 383G, the answer would appear to be 12.6 months - if you let it fill up and didn't care about it failing due to that. Just hope there's way less transactions due to a lower BTC price, and I guess then it may make it to 2 years? wrong ratios 395 against 500 you have 105 left over so 105/6.4 = 16.4 months or 1 year and 4 months. or 105/5.8= 18.1 months of 1 year and 6 months Either way too short and my guess of 2 year is also too short in the sense that nodes support network and need to run for decades not months. Frankly I complained about this to the builder in a post here or on the other thread. I would say the 500gb choice was wrong and I did say it. In fact I will be this cloning the crucial 500gb to a crucial 1tb this week. I will be making a YouTube video and linking the effort of cloning the drive in my review thread. Sometimes things are done stupid cheap ('Pennywise pound foolish') I have found that the drive is too small and that the feet are too short. My YouTube video shows the larger feet I added. As soon as you publish this video please let me know so I can purchase a bigger drive and do the same I’d rather just get it out of the way as soon as possible. |

How does this thing Mine SOLO??? And estimate when can 1 find a block? Makes .56? a day in pool...
Wouldn’t advise. At this low a hashrate, you’d have better luck winning the actual lottery than hitting a block. that is not exactly true. depends on what type of lottery. besides. if you simply set it and forget it for a while it will add up over time. this is all about mine and hodl my plan is to mine and hodl a coin for a year. while it does its thing as a full node. If you don't mind me asking, what pool would you mine against when you set it and forget it? viabtc .com and set the payout at 0.01 btc which right now is about 350 usd it will take close to 22 months to get there. and if btc spikes crazy high in 3 or 4 months just change the payout to 0.001 btc Thank you for all of your contributions on this forum Phil. I signed up with via bitcoin instead of the recommended/pool I started to sign up with slushpool and it was just really confusing how to set up my miner. I also want to thank futurebit team. What an exceptional product this is. They worked very hard under some pretty stressful conditions and times that we are living in and were able to produce a product that is so beneficial for this crypto digital currency future. I recommend using viabtc.com https://viabtc.com/signup?refer=684276Use that link to signup for 50% off of pool fees. |
