Hello!

FutureBit Apollo full node batch 3 owners

I am getting MCU temperature: 79.01°C is it OK?

Can somebody help me with Futurebit Apollo 200w for batch 3.

On the back of miner we have two by 6 connectors, but power supply has only one  with 6 wires connector.

Which one is to connect left or right? 

Also power supply has fun inside when it should start ?

Always from On or only when it necessary with certain temperature?   

Thank you

Thank you! Its fan

Somehow it's working now periodically on and off.

I guess its controlled by KSD 9700 250V 5A 65C sensor

I think it was de-attached from metal surface. Perhaps during shipping.

It was mount using some kind of sticky glue.

Not sure what it is.

 

I recently received  my and I don't have any issues.

My FB is full node package with micro and usb.

Thank you, Whats glue would you recommend to use in case I need it in future?

Hello there

upgraded my both Apollo batch 1 to full nodes, running fine so far.
Indeed only one can use the uPnP, the second one gets dismissed, e.g. debug.log of litecoind one second node.
2020-08-02T17:34:30Z AddPortMapping(9333, 9333, xxxx) failed with code 718 (ConflictInMappingEntry)
It's clear because I just have a single internet connection (public IP) on the ip table of the internet modem does not allow duplicate entries for same incoming port 9333.

There I tried to following, routed to port to another internal rasbpi device, installed HAproxy on it and noted both apollos as backend server.
Does not really work. I believe the litecoin client must use the "externalip" command, but this is just a thought.

So if anybody got two apollo full nodes behind a single IP running, I'm pretty thankful?

Many thx

Thx for the advice.
yeah, two full nodes are not meaningful, as I experienced too late.
Anyhow, I try to NAT it manually.

Cheers

Hey All but mostly jstefanop,

Ive had my Batch 2 for a while now and upgraded to full node a couple months back.

For the past week or two I have experienced repeated crashes where my apollo locks up and has to be powered-off and rebooted.

Node seems to recover alright even though Im not following the shutdown procedure listed in this thread but the whole thing locks up again after an hour or two.

This morning I tried to re-flash my SD but keep getting Windows 10 alerts that the disc image file is corrupted. Ive started from a fresh download 2 or 3 times now.

I continued regardless and flashed the SD with Etcher.io, verify I have removed the USB for full node, boot up my miner, setup, and go.

The Miner will start hashing as verified on litecoin.org but the miner dashboard is failing to load with Error "SyntaxError: Unexpected token in JSON at position 1497"

Node is up and running and I can access the node dashboard just fine.

Please let me know if I am doing something wrong or if there is anymore information I can provide.

Update 202009111156:
Was able to get past the broken dashboard by flashing another microSD I had laying around. Miner seems to be working as expected, node is working as expected.

Wifi is out though, and looks like unplugging Ethernet and switching to wifi has caused the same crash condition I started with and killed the dashboard with the ""SyntaxError: Unexpected token in JSON at position 1464"
code

Update 202009111439:
Confirmed switching to wifi appears to somehow crash the miner, break the dashboard, and lock up the whole unit. Re-flash and sticking to Ethernet seems to be the temporary fix

1) Cool TIL

2) Node is sync'd, Ill play around with it some more tonight to see if having the node running or not impacts the wifi issue

3) I was not shutting down between wifi setup and unplugging Ethernet, is that listed in the support material anywhere?

Is there any kind of logging being generated I can dig through? Looking back at some charts looks like my miner shut down from 8pm and recovered this morning at 9am running on eco.

9+ month, almost 7*24 running 8 Moonlander 2 and 1 Apollo 2nd gen and still not 1 well-deserved full LTC!

LTC price keeps going down down down then up a little and again down down down.

Lots of noise and smoke and no action from LTC developers.

So - I officially shut them all and after almost a month hard work got rid of them at less than 1/2 price!! Not too many fans, I guess.

Considering electricity at around $.10 and difficulty mining, I should’ve known better.

Interesting fact: at litecoinpool I used to be at the very bottom like faster than 16% - recently noticed I got promoted to faster than 26%. A quick look at stats, the number of users were about 3500 something - compare to 5700+.

Good luck to you all and thanks to Futurebit developers, I had fun learning.

How did you not mine 1 LTC over 9 months? You should have been averaging about .2 LTC a month over the past year. Either way you backed out at the bottom unfortunately. The whole point of our device is that 100 watts won't burn a hole in your pocket, so just should have kept running it and forgotten about it and came back 2 years from now

Either way thanks for supporting us and glad we were able to bring another person into the crypto fold through our devices. I hope you at least kept your LTC and dont sell it!
