Do you have a BTC address in your config file?
In the pool folder, look at ckpool.conf and make sure you have filled it out correctly.

Ok so its pretty much been 2days since the restart and I’ve noticed that the RAM usage is steadily increasing. Its roughly 4% per day.
On the initial restart it was 40% and now its 48%. CPU usage seems about the same, anywhere from 10-15%.
I can only assume that cgminer is restarting in the background and increasing the ram usage each time. As for the cause….I don’t know, maybe one of my Compac-Fs is slowly giving up.
EDIT, So today I've noticed RAM usage has increased to 52% as I type this. But in cgminer, no sticks have restarted and cgminer is still on the same instance (number 767 when I entered the screen list in putty). So not sure why the ram usage is increasing. Anyone have any ideas?
SSH in and run TOP to see what's eating the RAM |

We have made some changes to both the Pool configuration and also to the bitcoin.conf file for further optimization.
Did you keep the donation to ck when you find a block? Wouldn't that make the fee higher? |

So we wont put embedded SSH access into the web interface. However, I will put a realtime CGMiner feed into the web UI. I will add it to the next software revision list. If you want to SSH in and see the CGMiner instance, there are instructions somewhere further up in this thread.
Regarding BFGMiner - it is not something we will do right now but may do in the future.

Very cool little device. Do you have a Git we can submit PRs to? I changed the display from "Million"/"Billion"/"Trillion" to "Mega"/"Giga"/"Tera" and could make that an option if others want. |

I am happily solomining away on 4.11.1 with my windows PC but I am really struggling with getting it to work with my pi... I have bought powered USB 'hats' but it never seems to find my miners (4 x Newpacs) even with using the same powered hub that works fine with Windows.
Has anybody created a Pi image to install straight from Pi imager?
I have seen preconfigured sdcards on Ebay but for the price they are charging - I am a poor disabled student and don't think my kidneys are worth enough to cover the cost!
I have trawled this forum for suggestions but I think I just make it worse!
Install your Pi OS (assuming Raspbian) following the normal instructions. Then you can follow these steps: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5355470.msg58200639#msg58200639Those will clone cgminer from github, compile it, and the version in the Ferrari thread will also find and support previous generation Gekko devices. |

Shares are actions that CKPOOL takes for quality and sends them???
A share is a valid hash that your miner finds. Shares have a "difficulty" - if your share's difficulty is higher than the network difficulty, you win and find a block. Think about difficulty as the number of shares your miner will have to generate before finding a block. Today's difficulty is 28,225,928,151,211 - statistically, if you generate that amount of shares, you'll be likely to find a block. (You can also find a block with only one share, but it's very unlikely.) |

What is your daily payout per machine?
I lose 75 cents a day per machine. You need to get super lucky and have cheap power, neither of which I have. |

A note for anyone looking for another PPLNS pool. The apollo is a fun piece of hardware and works great, but better to verify than just blindly trust! After testing the releases of the miner binaries ( 64 bit v. 1, 32/64 bit v.2) and showing they can submit high enough difficulty shares to find a block, Kano's Pool will now allow them on the PPLNS side and not just solo.
Is it activated now on kano's pool ? Yep, I've got my three pointed to the PPLNS side there. |

Quick question: Where to order to ship to the following countries: Canada, Philippines, UK (or Europe). I'd like to buy one stick (unless you are willing to send me one to test it for an unbiased review.)
Resellers are all the usual suspects. 419Mining, ASICPuppy and BitcoinMerch are stocking in the US. Bitshopper.de is selling in Germany, and Eyeboot.com will have stock in Hong Kong.

GPU miner here, been running dual PSUs for last decade. My typical rig consists of one motherboard, 6 or 8 cards, two PSUs 650-850W each, for total of 1100-1200W per rig. They are running for years on end, without any reboots.
I presume you just speaking from what you heard, not real experience?
I agree, that running two PSUs on one electrical device (like one Apollo or one GPU) is a no no. But don't extrapolate that to "One should NEVER try to run ANY sort of PSU's in parallel" (your quote), because that's BS.
Are you running your PSUs in parallel or in series though? It seems you have one set of things powered by one and another set of things powering separate items. The current only flows through one path in a series setup. |

Yes the miner crashes when your internet connection disconnects, we have fixed the issue with a workaround in the full package version, but we have to fix the miner binary for the standard units which we should have an update for next week.
FYI if your running standard units on a linux distro you can wrap the miner binary in systemd with auto-restart flag for a temp fix.
Any chance of releasing the miner source? It looks like it's based on om-miner (like the bitfury b8 boxes), but haven't found the source anywhere. Is it going to continue to be closed source? |

Im wondering if anyone else has seen the "Command terminated with signal 11 (core file generated)" message in the screen session running the miner software. I am on Ubuntu 20.04 with an older kernel 5.4.0-58-generic (needed for issues related to GPU mining).
Yep, that's the miner binary crashing for some reason. Impossible to know though because it's not open source so we cant run a debug version. Wrapping it in the shell script will reload it when it crashes so that segmentation fault would happen, but the application would restart right away. |

Any Batch 2 units left to ship will be out by end of this week. We shut down the line early last week to give our workers a longer break for labor day.
Were the limited "in stock" units that showed up on the site when you canceled the flipper orders counted as batch 2 or batch 3? |

Do the stock PSUs work with Turbo mode? What has everyone experience been?
They should! Turbo mode is 200W, eco is 125W - the PSU is rated for the full 200W. Better to not run at 100% of the PSU capacity though. I run turbo but use an off the shelf 500W PSU. |

which video cards are you using ?
This is a dedicated mining system with ASIC chips. You can't mine BTC with a video card. |
|
|
|

If the hub is able to provide the full power, seems like the only thing could be something with the hardware. I have 2Pacs that still work fine, but they're at least 3 years old and the chips they use are probably even older.
|
|
|
|
0: BSD 10014785: found 0 chip(s) | 0.000 / 0.000h/s WU:0.0/m
Based on that, you have a dead set of chips on your 2Pac or Compac. how much power per port is your hub giving the stick? |

Bought some in the preorder - time to retire the R808s and replace with these.

Hey yall, its been a while! Got my shiny new Apollo BTC's today, and got them up and running easily and seamlessly. A really nice industrial design, and UX design on this one, well done! I do have a few questions, that are more likely feature requests... - 1. Can you set a hashrate target (instead of energy target), and have the power and clocks adjust to meet it?
- 2. Can you do any type of scheduling for adjusting hashrate, or starting/stopping the hash? My electricity costs are dramatically higher in the evening and would want to mine outside that window daily.
- 3. If you have multiple Apollo units, controlled by one "Main/Full" unit, can you have those identified as separate workers to a pool? .
- 4. What are considered "reasonable" temperatures, or perhaps what are MAXIMUM temperatures which should not be exceeded for these units?.
Thanks, and cheers! 1. No, you can't do this. The miner itself doesn't really know it's true hashrate. The JSON log will let you see different ways it's calculated (by work solves, by pool hash rate, or by pool provided jobs) 2. Yes, but you need to use cron jobs or other scheduling to do this. If you buy the full package, you'd need to SSH in and setup the scheduling jobs to stop the miner and restart it with different parameters 3. Don't have a full unit, but you can definitely start each miner separately from the command line (they all use a unique USB tty ID) 4. Mine run at around 60 C on average. No sure on max, but I haven't seen any high temperature alarms |
