No, the previous versions did have issues sometimes when hashing and unstable net connections but it's supposed to be fixed by now. I'd try re-flashing your SD card with the fresh image and see if that makes any difference

Okay maybe makes sense after a year or so ............sofar no luck on getting a new image flashed to sdcard. trying another card...
Nothing is working for me. using etcher, decompressing img.xy to img file. using several different sdcards. nothing so now going to try using pc with binaries later?

Try the Raspberry Imager.

Try the Raspberry Imager. Nothing is working, though all lights seem to be on whenpowered. not even hooking up orange pi as if i wanted to use it with ubuntu. I fear its the controller. Looking for options? Can I send it in for service?

You will probably save time and money if you make sure the miner itself is working by connecting it with a USB cable to any PC or a Raspberry Pi. Then just execute the binary with your settings and see if it works. If the miner doesn't work then yeah, you might need to send it all back. But if the miner works, then the rest can probably be solved with a new image, or just some remote troubleshooting. Or you can just use your PC anyway.

Okay I have finally jumped in on this and have purchased 1 "Full" controller and 3 standards on the way. I know I am way late to the game with these however from the reviews I have seen I'm pretty excited about getting these going. Not to mention that I really love the ability to help secure the network further by adding a full node to the BTC network. Also, incredibly optimistic that the next release will allow solo mining to the node itself. UPDATE 5/18/2022: The "Full" controller came in today and within about 10 minutes I was up, running, mining and downloading the blockchain. Easy setup which is very intuitive however not sure the web interface password changes the OS password. This would be something I would change. Really digging the interface but would love to see a "Block Found" stat on the mining gui. That would be a welcome addition. So far I like everything I see and must say well done!

Agreed; I'd also love to see this I don't think that's possible, unless your specific miner actually finds a block, which is really really really rare. The only useful notification would be if the pool you're mining for found a block, but your local miners won't know this.

Actually the antminers show this information so its possible. I believe they maybe using the share size submitted and match it up to see if it exceeds the network difficulty to confirm a block was transmitted.

The 'Block Found' flag is a part of the near universally used cgminer API that Kano wrote. Now as to how much of that API is recognized by the software that the Apollo uses (not cgminer nor directly based on it) is another story. One would would think that an equivalent command exists for it...

@jstefanop
Good morning,
On Futurebit Apollo LTC, there is a switch in settings which give access to Api. ("api-allow"). Is there a similar feature on the interface of the Futurebit Apollo BTC?
Thanks in advance.

What's the coinbase tag used by the apollos? or is that completely set by the pool?

UPDATE 5/21/2022: My first Standard unit came in (flawless transaction from Ognasty btw.) which was installed in under 5 minutes after a safe shutdown of the node and miner. Fired it back up and it was hashing away! So simple its almost unbelievable. CPU use is at 4% while hashing away and running the node so there's room for more units! I do have 3 more standards on the way and will report back on the CPU utilization when the other 3 are connected. I'm still hopeful that we will be able to mine directly from the miners to the node which leads me to this request to be considered. Now.... In addition to adding the "blocks found" I would like this request to also be considered. Would love to see the ability to add / remove and block a node similar to that in Bitcoin Core. I believe this would help allow the end user to setup a distribution network (Ahem.. we have all heard about how critical this is) on the blockchain which should in fact help with fast block propagation in the event one was found. Would also like the ability to open up and allow more connections to the full node to help with said above. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this!

Two Issues:
1: I can't load the pool settings from the UI. The page just has a spinner. 2: Pools are inactive. The Apollo BTC is blinking red, but the pool status is inactive with no hash rate.
Background: Recently had a power outage. Seems that this behavior occurred afterwards. Background: All other functionality seems to work with the Apollo BTC besides changing the pool and actually mining.
Any help would be appreciated!

Regarding number 2, I think if the Apollo loses connection it doesn't seem to reconnect by itself but it keeps mining locally. I remember having an issue like that one time, and just restarting the miner software solved it.
