Re: Official FutureBit Apollo LTC Image and Support thread

I have the Apollo powered up and I am in the dashboard. I am not connecting to the miner or to blocksfactory. I have burned a new Apollo image that was successful, entered the username, password and address in the pool dashboard. I have not added the proxy address. Is this needed? Here is the message I am getting in my dashboard.

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

Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:4028

That means bfgminer is not connecting to your pool...double check your pool info/username.

I have tried both litecoinpool and blocksfactory using cut and paste to enter usernames and passwords. I can't get either to work. I have logged out of the mining pools and used the same username and passwords (cut and paste that I used on the Apollo dashboard) and had success logging back in. Do I need to enter the proxy address?

Update: I changed the password to something very simple in the both mining pools and I am not getting the Apollo to connect. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I was successful with my Moonlanders but this is not connecting. I am connected via ethernet cable.

The Apollo is working thought because the donation is both active and the status is alive. My main pool is active and the status is dead.
