Would be nice if you had video on how to do input this for people with low tech skills

I need command for CLI

.\apollo-miner-v2.exe -host XXX -port 3333 -user XXX -pswd x -comport COM3 -powermode eco -ao_mode 1

For minimal power and hashrate, remove
Code:
-powermode eco
and put this instead:
Code:
-brd_ocp 30
That will give you stats like this:
Code:
Apollo Miner:
Hashrate: 3497 GH/s
Error rate: 96.8%
Power draw: 103 W
Power efficiency: 29 W/TH/s
Temperature: 56°C
Fan: 2220 RPM
Uptime: 5d:13h:37m
Process memory: 3.8 MiB
That's the minimum device can run at. Noise is minimal, I use it in the living room currently next to my computers.

Excellent news!  Congrats to the whole Futurebit team on the update. 

I look forward to updating as soon as I backup the Home Assistant data, which I just installed on Monday and loving so far (for those interested).

Two questions from me:

 - being a Batch 3 owner, will there be future updates/features that come to the new MCU2 and not to MCU1?  Hope I'm on a 'retired' or 'legacy' hw platform after only a few months.

- after reboot, at the login screen, is there a reason virtual keyboard is disabled/not loading?  I share a keyboard between my workstation and futurebit.  Was hoping to use the virtual key board to login, but doesn't appear to work.  Was this intentional?
is it possible to upgrade our MCU1 controller with a MCU2 controller . What model is the MCU2 controller?

2 years running 24/7 @ home eco mode on litecoinpool.

All good


What's the life expectancy of the LTC miners?

My two 1st generation Apollos are still going strong. Litecoinpool is finally a good place to be today (last month or so) with the DOGE assist.
Are you running a node on it?

HI, FRIEND
I bought an Apollo 2 Full and we can't boot it, we have flashed the memories, but the cooler is still at full and it doesn't take over the network.
I contacted support and asked them not to send the equipment from Argentina to the USA again if they could send and sell me a flashed memory. What do you advise me to do? My idea is to put several devices in parallel but I need this one to work correctly first.


Have you tried re flashing the software on a different micro sd card 8gb or larger.

Runnig on W10 about 24h, averge speed by Sol 5,7 and by job 6TH on ECO, eff. 32 W/TH, pool invalid shares 0,25%, pool hash rate 5,8 TH.

I expected a more efficient product, the efficiency W/TH is like my S17pro with Brains+.

The problem so far is when I switch the mode from eco to balanced or turbo I have to turn off the miner otherwise it wont start hashing.
When you close the script miner still hashing.
How many watts and TH's you pulling on

Eco mode...
Balance Mode..
Turbo Mode...

Thnks

Did you figure what was going on , were you able to fix it.. Having same problem...
Maybe you should to try to contact them via there Webpage https://shop.futurebit.io/ or write a pm to jstefanop for help.
The last time he was online on the Forum was yesterday so i guess a pm would be the best option.
I havnt got this problem at all for the years i was running the Miner , fingers crossed you get some help soon.

SO After a LONG LONG LONNG! time i finally figured it out. For people with ASUS router router you need to turn of Aiprotection

Has anyone had an issue with the miner not working? I wanted to switch out the fan with the one on Future Bit website, but it does not fit. My power cord stopped working and I think it might have burnt up the plug on the machine. I switched out the PCIE plug but it still does not work. Does Future Bit offer a way to send back to them to get it fixed?
Any suggestions please.
This Thread is Dead, Support here is dead, FutureBit dosent care about the problems we have, I have two miners with issues , and no one cares

Me too. We were supposed to get firmware update like a year or so ago...clearly thats not happening now. One of my PCIe ports is blackened and melted and his only response was for me to pay someone to fix it.


Anyone still mining on these,

SO what ever happened , Did op get his Miners. Is  Iceriver.io the legit site
there is no info about OP getting his miners on this thread. there are many assumptions being made on this thread and it is a bit hard to know which is true and which is false. you might need to go to other forums/platforms and ask around whether iceriver.io is the legit site or not.

anyway, regarding iceriver.io, they have a Twitter account and are active, they also seem to be posting exposing fake iceriver Twitter accounts(though it doesn't really tell you whether they are legit or not).
i ordered it and i got my Miner .. Iceriver KSO Ultra. I did a bank transfer.
