Question: When solo mining, it says "Mine directly to your Bitcoin node" does that mean we need an address that comes from the node? Or any address will work? Also, has any Apollo found a block yet?

Any btc address will work.Apparently this was incorrect so striking this!

Any legacy or non script segwit address will work, the newer longer segwit/taproot addresses wont work for solo mining. Not yet, but someone found a 42 trillion share so far (highest that I know) which is 1/2 network diff...we are also going wide release and will push an email + UI upgrade soon so if a large majority of all apollo users go solo there should be a block pretty fast. Of course we have no idea what our users are doing, where they are mining or what % is solo vs pool etc so can be difficult to gauge.

Also, is it possible/doable to upgrade the fan of the Apollo II ? I find it pretty loud, not sure what kind of fan it is. I live in hot weather so the fan spins faster.

Hello,
I have an Apollo 2 that has been running fine for a couple months now. Turbo mode in my garage with on a shelf that has 360 degree air flow. The temps stayed around 74C all the time which, according to the gauge in the software was fine. I upgrade to 2.0.5 and have not been able to to use the Apollo since. It keeps shutting off. I was able to get into for a sec and turn it down to ECO mode but it died again shortly afterwards. I'm not sure what is happening. I can't get it to stay on long enough to troubleshoot. I tried to re-image the SD with 2.0.5 but, I couldn't even get through the start up page. I'm active working on downgrading it back to 2.0.4 right now. Anyone have any ideas??
I reimaged to 2.0.4. It ran for about 3-5 minutes and now it won't stay on for longer then 1 minute.

What info do I need to point my miners that are currently hosted offsite to my Apollo? I’m currently solo mining from the Apollo and want to add some more hash using my other miners.

they would need to open port 3333 on their WAN address to point to your Apollo's internal ip address (or can be any wan port, just needs to point to port 3333 on the apollo).

I think all April orders are out right now...starting to work on May after the July 4th holiday, and should probably clear the whole backorder queue by end of may!

Do i need to create a stratum something that looks like this stratum+tcp://btc.f2pool.com:1314 for my Apollo though?

Hey, I am running a full node Apollo II. I am getting around 3.9 TH/S on ECO mode and the UI is showing around 45 watts per TH/s. Any suggestions to improve this? Thanks

You can add that but it wont matter, it takes any incoming miner connection straight via IP:3333 port.

That looks low, have you let the miner run for an hour and whats the 1H average? Should be over 5.5 TH/s on the low end.

I have been running for a couple of weeks and get nowhere near 5 on ECO. The average is always 3.9 or so.
