I'm still running my 1st generation apollo BTC, mostly for the node and solo pool functionality. I'm wondering if I turn the miner off and keep the node on, will the solo pool still work if I connect other miners to it? I have a few bitaxe miners that i've successfully connected to my apollo solo pool, and if i shut off the miner on my apollo BTC, the Solo Mining Page just says "Miner is Offline" and does not show any stats. My Bitaxe miners are still running, and according to their logs, they are receiving work and submitting shares that are getting accepted by the pool.

If the solo pool is still operating even when my apollo btc miner is turned off and node is on, then a helpful update to the apollo OS 2 would be to continue to display the solo pool stats page.

Our futurebit miners may age and become less efficient with their hashpower, but they are still very useful as a full node and solo pool.
