does anyone know the fan size in this miner. I want to get a noctua fan of the same size for increased silence

mine has yet to arrive


I dont understand  why it came from CA and Not NY

 it is due today fingers crossed

Best way to set up multiple right now is to just power one on a time, find its IP address set it up, power it down, power up the second one and repeat, then power on the first.

Either way the wifi is buggy right now, but there is no reason why they both should not work. Can you shoot me a screen shot of the Network info side panel for both machines when you get the chance?

so my wandering package is still doing that  wandering around PA Now.



A total of 13 cities so far!

I got a notice it is coming tomorrow.
It is in its 14th city
If it comes straight to Howell NJ that will be 15 cities!
I hope it is not smashed up

Once it comes I will delete these posts   I wonder if it stops in Cranberry NJ then Howell NJ
that gets me to 16th cities

Order # 1209 was received at Portugal and two more Apollos are working.
The screws on the sides came without tightening but it was easy to tighten.
Only problem was having to pay an additional $ 95 for each at Customs  !

So after 16 city tour of usa my gear arrived.

As feared it is smashed.


box looks untouched with no marks.  but my unit must of had a ton of handling.

Scanned at every city it stopped in and a few cities had multiple scans

so it was moved, scanned  and handled 19 or 20 times.

Looks like I need both panels  as both are smashed.

Posting this here for now until I have time to write up and put up proper instructions on the website and here. Sorry for the quick post but need to make sure my time is dedicated to making sure all pre-order are shipped out in a timely fashion before I can sit down and concentrate on this stuff.  

Download image here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/apolloimage/apollo_final.img.zip

Unzip it

run a sha256 checksum on it should be (not required but should check it in case of corrupted download if your having issues)
906bbdb9b9a195edea5fd3302b258ae28e6049c04a610698d253132f5dee50eb

Use a clone tool like etcher to clone the unzipped image to your SD card (or use dd) it MUST be a bit copy that overwrites the whole SD card and not just a partition so make sure whatever tool you use can do that

stick the SD card into the Apollo (the slot is underneath where the blue controller is)

plug in your ethernet cable and power her up!

you should see ethernet lights flashing, and after a few seconds the front LED should start flashing yellow...wait a min or two until its fully booted up and connected to your local network...it should start mining right away and you'll see lots of green and red blinky lights.

Go to a web browser on a device thats connected to your local network (both computers and phones/tablets should work) and go to futurebit.local (this might not work for everyone)

If futurebit.local does not work your going to manually have to find the IP address of the device on your network...just use any ip scanner that can display a hostname (futurebit is the devices hostname) otherwise just go down the list and enter the address of the active IPs until you see the Apollo UI load.

Thats it! The rest we hopefully made intuitive and easy enough that I don't need to explain it...set up your pool and save and you should be good to go!

DONT do anything stupid with settings until I have a full writeup, and keep the miner in ECO mode for now.

Please post and issues and bugs here...there will probably be a bunch since this is the first release of a brand new image/software. Also keep in mind we were overly cautious on the hardware controls so fan will probably be louder than it needs to be in eco mode, and miner will shutdown more than it needs too on the slightest error....need to make sure everything is safe and working properly before we relax this stuff on future releases.

Enjoy!
