Official FutureBit Apollo LTC Image and Support thread

I burned a new SD and still can't get anything to work.  Can boot into dashboard and still can't mine anything.  

Can i connect to the apollo miner using BFGminer or something to see whats going on?

Sounds like either your pool setup is incorrect, or your router is not providing a WAN connection to your device. What is the font LED doing after it starts up?

Thats weird if not having wan connections cuz i never set anything up first time around.   here are some screen shots

Also the light blinks yellow

Yea yellow blinking usually means it can't get an internet connection, but your pools seem alive so that might not be the issue. Shoot me a PM and well check it further.

Have mine up and humming away on zpool auto swapping to bTC with the include PSU.  Any risk of getting another unit and powering both with my mining rig PSU (it’s a 1600W evga).  That way I think I can reuse the smaller PSU for a future blackminer mini. 

Also should I be pulling in power to both connections or just the one on the right?

No problem running multiple on a PSU as long as it can handle it, unless your are running our Apollo PSU, you should always connect both power ports with an ATX PSU.

Where can I find a list of scrypt coins that the futurebit can mine?

Pretty much all of them.  I have one on zpool with auto swapping to BTC and there’s dozens of coins that it mines that I’ve never heard of.

how is zpool working out for you? Payout limit seems quite high - should I give it a go?

Well it’s slow, but most auto converting pools have a pretty high payout threshold.  For 0.0025 BTC it’s going to take around 140+ days or so.  I’m going into it with the thoughts that I’ll reach payout once every 180 days, any sooner and it’s a bonus.  Received my unit on 8/29, I’m 8% to payout after about 14 days of mining (took a break for a few days to mine LTC on litecoinpool).  I would say on average it’s about $0.15 a day at current prices give or take whether getting LTC on litecoinpool or converting to BTC on one of the auto converting pools.

I use prohashing, nice list of coins you direct your hashes paid to.  Stable and minimum payouts are low.

I shut my Apollo off via the switch on the psu - so that I could get an accurate dB reading on my R606. Approx. 10 mins later I turn the Apollo back on, and it starts up but then just goes with a steady red light and I cannot remote into it.

Before this, it was running flawlessly.


nvm - I removed the SD card and reinserted it and now miner is back to mining as normal.  false alarm.

Has any one web dashboard ever not load? It was working fine but then the IP address got changed , I put that address in the browser and just get a blank white page.

if the ip address changed - you need to put in the new address to get to the dashboard.

have you tried to clear your cache? if you are entering the same ip address on your phone while it is connected to the same network as your pc is, then it should work.

my miner is acting funny. not mining.
started from scratch, new sd card, new image, new etch.
it loads up, see it on the dashboard, starts mining then goes offline within 10 seconds
starts back up.
repeat. repeat.
this pops up.
Error: ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:4020
thoughts?

Do you see a Red LED when it does this?

I do yes. It seems to be in a cycle of restarting.

When it boots go set the fan speed manually to around 25% and see if it stops.

I've turned the donation on and also turned fan to 25%.
Still cycling on and off.
connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:4028
with this error.

Apollo was working fine for a few days. Decided to take it to work and couldn't figure out how to get it connected to work network. Brought it back home now just gets a solid red light when it powers up. Any idea whats happening?

check the micro SD card. when mine was a steady red light, I removed the card and reinserted - it worked fine after that.

[CoinMan01]

Thanks. I did that as well as setting the fan speed to 25% I think I saw in another post.
