Hello
Does anyone know the proper command for attaching 2 USB board Apollo BTC devices to an Ubuntu linux machine?
Would it look something like this with both "/dev/ttyACM0 /dev/ttyACM1" being the devices connected to PC?
apollo-miner -host "*.pool.org" -port 3333 -user "wallet_address".Apollo -pswd x -comport /dev/ttyACM0 /dev/ttyACM1 -brd_ocp 75 -osc 50 -ao_mode 1
It looks like the miner software only can control one miner at a time, so you would need to execute two instances of it. Here's what the official script does: #!/bin/bash #This Script finds all your connected Apollo BTC Standard Hashboards and starts each one with the settings below in a screen session. Please see the miner_start.sh file for additional directions.
start_hashboards() { while [ $1 ]; do screen -dmS miner ./futurebit-miner -comport $1 -ao_mode 1 $settings sleep 1 shift done }
#find and start external hashboards
ports=$(ls /dev/ttyACM*) start_hashboards $ports
echo "Started"
You could either do that, or simply run them manually, based on your command it would be something like this: screen -dmS miner0 apollo-miner -host "*.pool.org" -port 3333 -user "wallet_address".Apollo -pswd x -comport /dev/ttyACM0 -brd_ocp 75 -osc 50 -ao_mode 1 sleep 1 screen -dmS miner1 apollo-miner -host "*.pool.org" -port 3333 -user "wallet_address".Apollo -pswd x -comport /dev/ttyACM1 -brd_ocp 75 -osc 50 -ao_mode 1
You can then do screen -r miner0 to go back to see the output of miner0. Same for miner1. To go back from that view, you can press Ctrl-A, then Ctrl-D. You can see what's running with screen -listThank you i'll try this out I have it running as a service to autostart upon reboot, i'll edit it and let you know how it goes Thanks that worked like a charm Appreciate the help

Hello
Just received my unit with USB hashboard that requires to be plugged into PC
Is there a way to upgrade hardware for use with Ethernet?
I see the open port on bottom where i believe that board gets plugged in
I'm ok with having it connected to another device but would like to plan in future to have it on its own
Thank you!
There's no plug-n-play upgrade to get a working Ethernet miner, but you can easily DIY one. You can setup a small device like a Raspberry Pi which has Ethernet to control the miner via a USB cable. You need to get the binary file from here: https://github.com/jstefanop/Apollo-Miner-Binaries/releasesDepending if your Raspberry Pi is running 32 or 64 bits you need to download Apollo-Miner_linux-aarch32.tar.xz or Apollo-Miner_linux-aarch64.tar.xz. That will contain the executable that allows you to control the miner from the Raspberry Pi. From then on you're able to customize the Raspberry Pi as much as you want. You only need to execute the binary with certain parameters to control the miner. The miner then writes a json file with the current status that you could use to display some information. The official web dashboard, which uses that json file to display a nice interface, is open source and available here: https://github.com/jstefanop/apolloapiIt's basically 2 projects, a data server and a web server. It's made for the official Apollo node hardware so you will have to tinker a bit with it to work with your own device though. Yea you could technically run the whole UI off a rasberry pi (or any ARM SBC with a UART port for that matter), or simply run it off the USB port if you dont want to deal with setting up the internal UART. I should probably post the board connector pinout for anyone that wants to do this. Will probably release a pi image at some point as well (or at least update the installer so its a one step RPI installation). A UI that supports devices connected via USB would be greatly helpful Also, how many Apollo BTC with usb connectors can you have connected to one PC/Linux host machine? I have one running now and wanted to test with second one upon arrival but unfortunately the usb port on the Apollo device is damaged and looks like i need to send back in for repair

Hello, i recently received a Futurebit Apollo in the mail, but i believe it may have been mishandled by the delivery folks I heard something moving around inside box but didn't pay no mind at first Later on as i went to plug in the USB cable, i realized it wasn't there...the piece that sits on board to connect usb cable to had fallen off I'm not exactly sure how it happened but i have had mail mishandled in the past unfortunately Can anyone assist me with what i can do to get fixed? Can it be shipped back to Futurebit offices for repair? Please Advise, Thank you

Hi i currently have it connected to a linux machine, where is that json file created? I have it running at moment
Getting that display information would be great
When you run ./apollo-miner it starts sending information to the console, and every few seconds/minutes it will write that information into a json file, which is located in the same directory. The name of this file is apollo-miner.SOME_CHARACTERS_HEREThat file is a json file with all the miner information. You can just parse it yourself and display it however you want. You can also edit the open source web UI to use it with your own hardware, but it's not trivial. You're probably better off just reading the json file. I have chosen to run under windows for now, thank you for your help with this Is there any way to properly monitor temps through windows? I'm guessing this information is stored within the json file as well?

Hello, is there a way to get notified over email if you hit a block?? It would be a nice feature. Thank you.
There are apps that will alert you on your phone if that helps I'm also interested if there is app for it. Which one do you mean / do you have an example? There is the site https://cryptocurrencyalerting.com/ that can alert via sms or email when a BTC address balance changes. I have not tried it but it looks like a well-built site. I built one in-house to watch and alert on BTC balance as well as on hashrate so it auto-reboots the miner when it gets in an odd state. Perl scripts still have their place in the world :-) Thank you this is exactly what i've been looking for Happy mining!

So close?! LOL
Add three more zeros then you are too close. 😉. Add three more zeros to "bestshare": 24920998730.69736?

Didn't someone recently hit a block with a USB BTC mining set up?
Yes. That was me. A mini - rig with 9 GekkoScience Compac f's found a block here on CK's pool. awesome congrats again!! hoping that luck strikes me soon also

I tried mining with stratum + tcp: //solo.ckpool.org: 3333 using OS: Windows11, cgminer ver3.7.2, Geforce RTX 3090. The average speed is displayed as 2.148Gh / s. Is this the correct speed? The GekkoScience Compac F USB is 350Gh / s, but the Geforce RTX 3090 is too slow. Please teach.
Asic miners will blow away any current GPU when mining BTC or really any SHA256 coin. The GekkoScience Compaq F is pretty powerful for being an USB stick however.... The reality is that it's extremly low power when compared to something like the Bitmain S19. On a personal note your 3090 would be best served mining ETH. The point is buy an Asic for mining BTC Didn't someone recently hit a block with a USB BTC mining set up?

Can you show us example of the command used to do this with cgminer? I'm also interested in watching in this way Thank you
It is all in the README of cgminer: http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/you have to enter: cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u your_BTC_Address -p x and on Linux: ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u your_BTC_Address -p x That is all to do, to observe the pool. I may be misunderstanding, let me clarify my set up and what i mean I have an S19J solo mining currently on ckpool I was thinking i could observe my stats using cgminer of my ASIC solo mining, if that's not true please let me know I've been running those commands earlier today as i was trying to figure it out before commenting here. When i do this, it starts mining with my GPU..which i currently have hashing away on an ETH pool cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u your_BTC_Address -p x I was hoping i could use CGMiner to just watch and not have it utilize any of the components of my PC

Congratulation bc1q2pr99p75skdzyqdg0hnpd7hf56tge6h9x4wyet for solving Block 721310 ! I watch'ed it live with cgminer, so I will put a screenshot later in here. and that's how it looks like when solo.ckpool.org finds a block:
I would really love to get this view, how do I setup this view? Is it a live feed of CKPool? I work from home and have over 4 monitors. I would love to setup one just with the overall CKPool live screen and if possible one for each miner or all my miners at once. You simply start cgminer pointed to the solopool with your btc-address, even without any miner connected. So you observe the pool using cgminer. Your messages will be the pool messages only then. Can you show us example of the command used to do this with cgminer? I'm also interested in watching in this way Thank you

Hi Guys,
I've been a member of the forum for a while, mostly reading and learning from all the posts
I recently joined to solo mine with my S19J, hope everyone is having a good day
Looking forward to hopefully being one of the lucky folks here!
