Dear Sirs, tell me where I can order 4 bolts for the back cover of the appolo 2 that attach the bottom panel to the body 4 bolts. Thank you 2 bolts are slightly larger and 2 bolts are standard.

Honestly, take the bolts to a hardware store as samples and buy them there. Super cheap, fast, and easy.

The problem is that when I sent an RMA to Futurebit for the Apollo 2 back cover, I accidentally sent it with bolts, but they sent it back to me without, and now my back cover is not bolted in. That's why I'm wondering what kind of bolts it has so I can order them.

It has been almost a month since I got my Apollo 2 and I still cannot get it to function properly.
I have not been able to get the node to fully sync. I have even started a node on a PC which only took 1 day, then pointed the Futurebit to it on the local LAN. After 3 days I'm only at 76%. The system still locks up a couple of times a day requiring a power cycle.

I have already tried every step that I have found on reddit and other forums.
I have: replaced the microsd and reinstalled the software, reseated the nvme drive, I do NOT run the miner when trying to start the node. I have lost count of how many times I have reformatted the drive and started over, with all the various node commands for memory and re-indexing.

I also tried just running the miner alone for a day on eco mode and the system still freezes up.

At this point I think that there has to be something wrong with the hardware.

Does anyone have any other ideas?



I had similar problems only my node lost synchronization 1-2 times a day and the miner disappeared from the network every 2 days and had to reload it hard, I opened RMA and sent it to replace 10 days, but so far there was no answer.

I’d like the ability to shut down the internal miner and still have the pool continue to function with external miners.
I know others have said that yes the pool software does continue but the pool status page is not available if you shut down the internal miner.
I'd like to only use the pool and node features and only run external miners to this pool/node. The box would run so much cooler without the internal miner so the fan activation may have to be changed as well so there is still airflow.
Has anyone heard if this feature will be implemented in a future OS version?


damn good idea

It turns out that if I have a non-recommended NVME disk, for example, a 2TB pioneer, the system may not work stably? How can I, for example, rewrite the BTC database to a new NVME disk? Can I connect a new disk to the Apollo 2 node via a USB adapter and how can I rewrite the database?

Guys, what could be version 2.0.6 Apollo 2 every 2-3 days the device disappears from the network, you have to turn it off and on hard. Then it works again for 2-3 days and also disappears from the network. Although Apollo itself works when you reboot it.

As I understand it, Futurebit Appolo 2 does not support micro SD higher than 128 GB. It still does not see my 512 GB, no matter what I do with this card. I will have to buy 128 GB.

Dear Hello. I received my futurebit appolo 2 and I have a question how long does it take to synchronize the BTC database for solo mining? What flash drive capacity and flash drive class does futurebit support? I installed a 512gb sandisc class 3 4k instead of the native flash drive, but futurebit does not start with it. I created an image for it using belendaitcher, I installed the native one and everything started.

Hello friends, I also plan to buy this device. I have a couple of questions, where can I buy spare parts for it? What kind of power supply does it have inside? Is it removable? If so, what model? What kind of fans are there: 3-pin, 4-pin, 92mm or 120mm or 140mm. I am buying it for a long time and I want to have spare parts if necessary. Thank you.
