I'm absolutely clueless on why my miner will mine flawlessly for days, then I'll have days where it disconnects 100+ times, what's going on?

Also, every single time it disconnects it changes my pool to - stratum+tcp://stratum+tcp://us-east.stratum.slushpool.com:3333 and the username to Topminer.01 with a password of X

It almost seems like my miner is compromised because it makes no sense on why it reverts to some random slushpool account, I've tried to mine on over 10 different pools and it'll mine great for 1-3 days then I'll experience the same exact thing where it just stops mining, changes the pool back to slushpool and restarts itself.. It DOES connect to this slushpool and it hashes.. but I can't login to the slushpool website and find that Topminer.01 at all, it seems like someone is stealing my hashes.

Sounds like your network or another device on your network is compromised. I would try reflashing your SD card to stock, if you still see it happening then someone is gaining access to your Apollo through another device on your network.

You can also change the default account/ssh password on your Apollo as well using the UI settings (we will have the dashboard password apply as the system password automaticly for additional security in the next update).


I have been having the same issue.  I'm going to try and reflash. and see what happens.

Also had the same issue. I have just placed the Apollo over 2 big fans and the temp in turbo is around 40-42C and the board stays at 62-63C, big difference from before. Tha hash rate is also aroun 3.07Gb. It seems to be stable for now so I think the temperature is the issue.


 External USB fans under the Apollo is the way to go! My temps arethe same range as yours in turbo mode.

Correct. I suspected the temp as the issue but I wasn't 100%, I will see in a couple of days I guess....

Mine has been running with the fan under it for two weeks, Apollo on Turbo no stop.


I'm almost certain that's exactly what the issue is, when it reaches critical temps it must have some sort of built in fail safe that reverts a portion of your settings, I'm assuming.

Or, my network could be compromised, there have been a few people in this thread that have asked if anyone has had issues with DPN (The Deeper Network) I'm hoping someone hasn't figured out a way to use the tunneling services DPN offers, but the log they provide is pretty detailed as far as traffic and nothing seems out of the ordinary, I'm really hoping it's just a heating issue.

Edit: I forgot to ask, I switched from WiFi to ethernet and now I'm getting a "There is a problem fetching system stats (Internal error)" to where I can't see my temps ETC - up at the top on the dashboard.. any suggestions? please don't say reflash again, LoL!

I have had external fans on my setup for months, temps have been in the 40's.  this issue with the pool automatically changing just started within the last week.  I have relflashed and changed passwords.  it ran for a few hours and then automatically changed to that same slushpool address and topminer01.  I don't think this is a temp issue........  not really sure what is going on.  i just shut mine down until there is a resolutions.  i'm not letting my unit run while someone else is getting the perks from it.....
