Re: Official FutureBit Apollo BTC Software/Image and Support thread

Is it picked up by your PC or laptop? That would have been my first troubleshooting step. Grin

Figure out whether it's a problem with the hashboard / standard unit or the controller / full unit.

Hello, now that’s it’s getting cooler outside I’m going to turn the apollos (BTC and LTC) back on. This time I’m thinking of solo mining. Is direct solo mining still planned for BTC? Anyone doing it - is CK pool the best?
Thank you!

I would recommend the https://kano.is/ solo pool by kano. Not sure where solo mining sits on jstefanop's roadmap!

It's a brand new batch 1 device that I unboxed a few days ago. Setting up a dedicated rpi zero for testing will be the next step that weekend. That's way more effort to setup compared to the full node extension, that's why I didn't do it as first thing 😉

Oh don't worry, you can also test the hashboard with any other PC! Doesn't have to be a Raspberry Pi and not even a Linux PC, as far as I know.
It can just be your daily driver, simply to quickly verify the hashboard is fine.
