I anticipate that I had a power outage resulting in the following issues with my Apollo LTC. After combing the forum and trying everything that I read to be possibly helpful I am still battling the following issues and am kindly requesting assistance:
1. On my futurebit dashboard my main pool configuration is inactive and dead, whereas my donation pool configuration is active and alive - my litecoinpool account dashboard is not receiving any hash rate and is showing that the last time it received hashrate was May 13, which I am anticipating is the date of the power outage.
2. My node went down and I have not been able to get it restarted - prior to the outage it was running well with up to 16 connections
Issue 1 details:
On my miner dashboard I have two lines under 'pools':
Line 1
Type: Main
Active: Inactive
Status: Dead
Line 2
Type: Donation
Active: Active
Status: Alive
When I click to the 'pools' tab in the left side menu I am able to edit the URL (stratum+tcp://us.litecoinpool.org:3333), User Name (flowbit.1), Password (*****) and Proxy (
http://192.168.1.1:3333). My user name (flowbit.1) and password exactly match the user name and password on my litecoinpool.org account (always triple checking case sensitivity). Each time I edit the pool information in the pools tab I click the orange 'save and restart' button in the upper left corner. The miner stops and restarts but the orange 'save and restart' button doesn't clear. So I click over to the dashboard and get the same result on line 1 and line 2 that I outlined above. The information I am inputting into the 'pools' tab does not appear to be saving because when I click back to the 'pools' tab the futurebit.1 user name is not updated to flowbit.1. I have also tried changing the URL on both lines to stratum+tcp://us2.litecoinpool.org:3333 but the futurebit.1 account doesn;t update to that URL - it's like the orange save and restart button is not saving what I am inputting? One of the user names is futurebit.1 (which appears to be the donation pool) and one of the user names is flowbit.1 (which appears to be the main pool that is inactive/dead). The up/down arrows do not appear to work either becasue when I click them nothing happens - it remains flowbit.1 on line 1 and futurebit.1 on line 2.
In addition to trying to edit the settings in the pools tab, I have restarted, rebooted, turned off and back on via the power supply (following all directions on page one), re-flashed SD card and have ensured that the SD card is inserted correctly. I have also deleted my single worker from my litecoinpool account and on the same account have set up a single new worker with the same username (flowbit.1) and pw. Trying to be as descriptive as possible because my newbie rank wont allow me to post images.
Issue 2 details:
Every time I start my node from the node dashboard I get the 'please wait while node is starting up' spinning wheel that also reads 'this takes 5-15 minutes, and you will be redirected to the node dashboard'... then 10 minutes or so later, on the node dashboard, I get the 'node is offline' notification along with the suggestions underneath which I have tried all of including reformatting the drive with the latest Litecoin.zip file that jstefanop directs us to in the second post on page 1 under 'latest image download instructions'.
Feeling especially newbish having tried all of this and having gotten nowhere... thanks in advance for any guidance on either issue.
