FutureBit Apollo III - Next Gen Home Mining

[heslo]

It arrived!

Currently cloning the nvme from my Apollo II so I don't need to do IBD again then I'll fire her up!

[heslo]

The cloning worked now up and running! Mining great so far and have the full 16GB on the controller. Thanks to everyone at FutureBit, the RMA went pretty smoothly!

anyone know why the node is set to run bitcoin 28.1 by default?

pre knots

its a choice.

he does allow you to switch.

my core nodes at home are 28.1 and 29.1

and now this is 28.1

I do not run 30 or any one newer like 30.1 or 30.2 if it comes out.

Well it's been 24 hours and running absolutely no issues at all! Great bit of kit!!! Noticeably quieter in eco mode than the Apollo II was as well. Haven't tried pushing any higher, maybe I'll tinker tonight

It's just the most tested core version for our OS, and where most futurebit blocks have been found on.

We are pretty conservative when it comes to solo mining, and our default is a few version behind. Will probably start testing 3x version for next default but that requires months of validation and testing on testnet.

So I cloned my 2tb ssd to a second 2tb ssd and I now have 2 pretty much up to date 800gb blockchain nodes.


questions are  where do I store the slightly up to date backup?

If I put it in the Apollo  will that confuse the unit or does it prioritize one drive over the other?

next question is my node has 11/64 connections how to max or make more than that?

also all connections are out

none are in.  so what must I tell my router to let incoming happen

RAID mode is being worked on for 2.2 release for both Solo Node and Apollo III. You dont need to "clone" the drives, you'll be able to select which RAID mode you want and it will either automatically "clone" the drives for backup/redudancy in RAID 1, or "double" your drive space and read/write throughput in RAID 0.
