So does Minera have a RestAPI? I would like to put together a watchdog that notifies me (and possibly restarts the miners?) when a hashboard stops. I currently am running a full and two standard units at Turbo and I have one or two hashboards that stop every couple of days.

HI all, question from a non-technical person happily mining from home with this device to try and learn and support the decentralization of the network. Forgive my question if it is an obvious one to most of you, but with all the talk of Taproot finally coming today, what does that mean for our nodes running with Futurebit? Is there anything we are supposed to do? If there is, if you could share the steps I would really appreciate it. Thank you, much appreciated, I am really just in over my head with the software/programming side, but genuinely want to learn and here for it!
Your bitcoin core instance needs to be v21.1 for taproot I think the Apollo has v0.21.1

Your bitcoin core instance needs to be v22.0 for taproot I think the Apollo has v0.21.1 Taproot support is actually in 21.1, will be upgrading the node to v22 soon though.

So I am NEWBIE and have ordered an Apollo BTC with a Full Node. Does the Apollo only mine BTC or can it mine Doge/Litecoin? If it can mine DOGE/Litecoin, how do I go by it? What is the average BTC return monthly? Anyone have a list of mining pools that are recommended and profitable?

This particular Apollo BTC -model only mines Bitcoin and other SHA-256 algo coins.

Bought 3 units in Batch 1.
Only one of which had a working front LED. I was informed that the contacts to the other two must have been damaged in shipping.
I'd like to be able to spot check them with a glance.
If it is a simple soldering job, could you provide instructions on how to DIY repair this issue??

Any news on when the 32bit version is coming out?
Wrapping up testing on updated binary today, and should have it out by next week! How's it going? A week (and a bit later) Will the new firmware enable multiple or rather backup pools in the GUI? Or is that a limitation of the miner software? Thanks

Hiya Jstefanop boss....just wanted to shoot out to you and the crew there with FutureBit a Happy and Grateful Thanksgiving. I can say that my device is something I this year am grateful for it. It has had no issues so far and yes I keep my wife's cat away from it. It gets curious about it but it is like ...eh eh eh....kitty no go near the device and then I run her off...lol.. ...but yea device has been working flawlessly since September and over this past weekend I took her offline and shut down the miner and the node...and got a can of air for dusting electronics and carefully blew out some dust that had accumulated on it and some dust off the power supply device and then turned her back on and got node and miner back up and running... ...thank you for having created this device...by the way...I have my hound dogs keeping an eye out for my 2 new miners that I hope I will be getting sometime by January... ...but yea wherever you and your family are on this Thanksgiving may it be a good and safe one, and well the same goes for the FutureBit crew... ...oh yea a holler out to all the fans and bloggers of FutureBit a Happy Thanksgiving to you as well... ...Tempestblack

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Its getting cold here in NA, wondering how far I can safely push -brd_ocp and -osc. I dont care about efficiency, just want to make some heat + extra hash. Currently running 85/55. Edit- When looking at hash rate should I use by sol, or by jobs? I got one of them up to 95/65 now and looks like im getting right about 3.8TH/s. How much further can I go? ** I am on a 1400W psu for 4 standard units **

I updated my Apollo and 1 of them BTC node is ok and the miner inactive but I see he is online and mining on the pool. The other same thing, node ok and miner inactive in the dashbord but online and mining on slush pool in my account. on this one I see jstefanop.worker1 on the dashboard page. weird! Does a reboot fix this? Are you updating via local network or a connected monitor? Shoot an email if your still have this issue, want to see where the update is breaking. FYI should have an updated image out later today as well. Reboot change nothing and I made the update via local network I ran into this inactive dashboard issue with my second full node unit (did a search on "jstefanop.worker1"). I re-flashed the SD card and that seems to have fixed it. The node picked up from where it left off, resuming the blockchain download.

First of all, wish to welcome back all the folks here from our Thanksgiving holidays and hope you had a good one. Question for the forum and it is....We all know that the FutureBit Bitcoin miner was specifically designed with the purpose or intention of mining Bitcoin...but being it is a SHA256 ASIC based device can then indeed the Bitcoin miner mine other SHA256 based coins as some have made the argument that it can while others have made the argument it cannot...So which is it if I may ask?...

You can mine any SHA256-based coin you want.

Obviously you'll mine BTC if you have a winning strategy.
Other sha-256 coins like BCH are rubbish IMO.

I merited last three posts.
In the long run If BTC fails the other coins will all fail.
So primary goal should be to stack btc.
but yeah you can mine with a fuck a round coin like XEC hoping for a spike like doge did when it went from 0.002 cents to 78 cents.
Now personally I mine
1300 th on btc 27 th on xec 2 th on bch
the 2th is this apollo,
so it is easy to see i prefer btc over any coin.

Is there a reason why these miners don't have asicboost enabled? That's pretty much the same as throwing away 10% of your hash rate you'd get for the same power.
Because its not implemented in the ASIC obviously. Incorrect. It turns out these miners can do asicboost. You need to add the option "-roll_version" However, the miner code has a bug in it that sends incorrect version data regularly so you lose lotsa shares. I've put a hack into my pool to correct the bad data so you don't lose the shares/blocks So solo mining on my pool with an apollo can use asicboost with the "-roll_version" option.

There is no bug, the miner supports version rolling for new ASICs but its not implemented in the current ASIC hardware. This is why you are seeing incorrect version data.
