So I've had my Apollo's for a little while now and like most people here, I am thrilled to have them in my apartment! Currently running 4 of them - 1 with a controller, 3 without. My question it this - I have them connected to a pool but using the controller's UI via FireFox - I am only able to have these connect to a pool as 1 worker. All of the other miners I use have individual assignable worker names - so should there be an issue, its easy to identify which miner is problematic without actually being at home and staring at the screen. Is there a way to have each apollo connect to the pool as it's own miner while running them all connected to the unit with a controller? Or would I have to use external controllers for each standard unit to achieve this.
You are thinking correctly.
Each of the 3 non-controlled 'hash boards' would need its own SBC like a Raspberry PI as a controller then connected to the pool as another worker.
Would be cheaper to find a way to access the Apollo BTC UI remotely on your phone.
