Ok so before anyone goes and does something stupid like me, let me give you the benefit of my wasted hour.
I got sick of the noisy fan so support sorted me out with a new one locally. Came today, all good. Went to fit it, it's slightly higher than the original so needed some modifying but made it work. That's not the problem though, the problem was putting it all together. Went together just fine, turned it on and... nothing. No IP address, nothing on the screen, nothing. Pulled it apart again, checked if anything was not plugged in. Nope all good. Few more power cycles, few 10 minute waits, still nothing. Strip it down one more time and look on the floor... oh, there's an SD card there... FUCK! I must have knocked it out while working on the fan for the SBC. Plug the card back in, reassemble and bam, instantly comes to life.
So if anyone has an issue please don't be a dumb ass like me and check if the SD card is actually in and seated properly!

You could probably put them on the Apollo LTC version. I don't think its worth worrying about it on this BTC unit |

You can through a powered USB hub. Remember this is a full desktop computer so you can do anything with it. Check out the support thread for those on how to download and compile the source. |

Yeah, cable is fine now.
But another issue I have with Rpi4.
I have Rpi4 Umbrel LN running with BTC ssd full node connected to RPi usb3 port.
When I connect to the second usb3 port BTC miner,
I am getting:ls: cannot access '/dev/ttyACM*': No such file or directory
But when I disconnect BTC ssd usb3 and keep just BTC miner
umbrel@umbrel:~ $ ls /dev/ttyACM*
/dev/ttyACM0
Somehow when I use rpi4 with 2 usb ports. one for ssd full node and another it does not work.
I have another Rpi running LTC moon 2, but its 32 bit. It would be nice if ver for 32 bit will be available.
Thank you
Check your power adapter. Many times with RPi's there is not enough power to power all of the IO ports. I use the Canakit RPi 3.5Amp adapter on mine that is running two USB ports with LTC Moonlanders and Gekko hubs on each. Also you should disable with Wifi power management if you are using Wifi - I have seen issues with some mining apps with Wifi that goes into different power states. Yep, second this! Especially with the RPi4, power is VERY important. Make sure it's got a power adapter with enough amps to supply it or you'll run into all sorts of issues With new adapter for 3000Amp designed for RPi4 does not work, just tried. |

5V DC Brushless Cooling Fan with 2 Pin Connector 25mm x 25mm x 7mm Yea I know what the fan is as ive replaced it. But took a vamble on what looked like the right connector. The listing didnt say. Now I’d like to know so I can make up my own fly lead with GPIO leads instead. I know its JST but not sure if its 1.25, 2 or 2.5 |

If someone is mining on the Apollo BTC node and by some miracle they (or you) find a block - are they (or you) rewarded somehow? Does the node software on the Apollo somehow reward the finder?

No the node is just part of the bitcoin network and helps secure it. |

No the node is just part of the bitcoin network and helps secure it. What's the point of anyone mining from a FutureBit node if there is no reward? What purpose is there to secure something you aren't rewarded for? Why waste electricity, time, bandwidth, hassles for just a good feeling? Didn't think so - that's why I just use it as a SHA256 miner - dump the node. |

What's the point of anyone mining from a FutureBit node if there is no reward? What purpose is there to secure something you aren't rewarded for? Why waste electricity, time, bandwidth, hassles for just a good feeling? You miss the whole point of the system. As has already been said, the node is just there to help keep the blockchain widely distributed and secure. (edit: and provide you with direct access to the blockchain when using a hard wallet like Trezor et al). Period. Unless you have an excellent connection to the BTC network - preferably one giving fast connections to networks used by the big pools - even if you find a block using your node for (solo) mining would just most likely result in you having orphans issues (and losing) because of slow propagation time to the other pools. The miner is the main part but - since there is controller running it that most of the time has a lot of free clock cycles available, might as well use it as node as well... |
