New to this. Bought a futurebit apollo btc to try it out. It keeps showing inactive for my status connection to ckpool. Does anyone know why?
You must have your pool configured incorrectly.
Use this as your pool url:
stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333
Then enter your BTC address . miner name... For an example on the Username if my worker name was ApolloBTC01 I would enter bc1qzmntuax0kgys5elzwcn6sj04yxxxxxxx.ApolloBTC01
And enter a lower case x as the password.
Then save and restart the apollo and you should be mining.
I copied and pasted the url. But, for the username. I don't know the worker name(s), so I just put my BTC address; since it said I could do it without the worker name(s). Then I put x for the password. It still shows inactive.
