Thanks for the info,

When the software is released for the Apollo there will be more details on that for obvious reasons. The hardware will essentially be the Apollo controller, and software wise it will be nearly the same as the Apollo minus the mining part. So as soon as its ready for Apollo the standalone node will be nearly ready for release.

Hey,
I just got this Futurebit Apollo and I keep getting this error message below.
I see that there have been a few people with the same problems, I've tried what I've seen and it hasn't worked.
Any idea's before I just give up?

It seems there is a problem to communicate with the miner, check error message.

Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:4028

Wait at least 1 minute, if problem persists, try to restart the miner, check the settings or try to reboot the system.

I did purchase w/a sim card

Need a few more beta testers for the full node update. If you have a batch 2 unit and have basic terminal skills (ie can ssh into the machine and run basic commands), dm me your email address!

I got an email if the guy is legit the email should go jstefanop

Hello,
My name is C....... R...... and im ceo of a Norwegian tech company (L.......).
Im D...... on bitcointalk.
Our company L....... has designed a new scrypt asic that beats all other scrypt machines on the marked.
I really like your Apollo desktop miner and your vision for home miners and implemented node.

We do not want to produce unlimited miners and destroy the marked (like bitmain does).
Our SHA-engine is BAD ASS and we can use that in our next design for sha256.

I dont know what is your future plans is..
Your Apollo miner is so great and you have put so much work into that,that we dont want to go after that marked..
Maybe we can work together.. our chip in your Apollo.

He claim a 3x more efficient chip.  So I posted a redacted version here.

I sent full version to your pm

Best regards Phil

yes, so far yes. now i went into eco mode on this one, and it runs since then flawless. if you think re-imaging the SD card can help, i can try this.

mine does as well.

Hello,

last week I received the Apollo miners and everything works out-of-the box.
My friends and colleagues at work are impressed, so we plan to make an omnibus order in the next weeks to reduce delivery coasts for Germany.
The European reseller is sold-out.

One questions we have: Is stratum over tls supported?

I tried "stratum+tls" and "stratum+ssl" on litecoinpool port 3443., but only "stratum+tcp" works.
Any hints are welcome.

Thanks and best regards.
