FYI looks like well be wrapping up Batch 3 pre-order in the next week or so, so if anyone who has not wants to get in this Batch I would place an order soon.

After a hiatus of sorts, glad to be back in the fold (preordered a Full & two Standards) to go along the the FutureBit LTC cube and half a dozen Moonlander USB sticks....    It's nice not having industrial scale noise & heat in the home.....  Cheers!!!     

The post below saved my bacon - Testimony time.....

I retired the other brands ASIC miners and my GPU racks months ago, kept some ML2s chirping away,  and recently happened up the Apollo.....   Sure!    Why not?

The order was "smooth", the packaging sound, the initial bench start up perhaps too easy (?!?!?!), the location into a heat flow friendly spot in the office (very quiet and aesthetically "cool" to look at), I was missing out on chances to learn....    So......   

Proceeded to make on operator error trying to connect to the pool to a point where I "finally" get to learn something - How to download and flash an image onto an SD card.....  Never had done this before and with the notes on this thread, this old dog learned a new trick!    Now I've a backup card and wondering what else I've laying around that I can go flash....

Connecting to the pool with this second worker took some relearning but that's another thread.

Thanks for hearing my testimony, thumbs up on Apollo, thanks to all for leaving instructions and tips on this thread.

Cheers!

Yup....   Exactly....

Hoping any USB driver update avoids the need for a BFG update....

Fingers crossed.

Thanks!

My four ML2 have been happily mining for months until this morning's April W10 update. Go figure...

bfg miner display:

NO DEVICES FOUND: Press 'M' and '+' to add

Physical:   2 x{2 ML2/Anker 9 port hub} -> USB 2.0 --> mobo{BIOSTAR TB250-BTC PRO LGA 1151 Intel B250}

Mobo is happy mining Claymore and Equihash on GPUs -> Problem isolated to ML2 path

I was able to mount & access usb drives when plugging into 9 port hub.    I can also ear ML2's being recognized when plugged into same up.  Just can't see them with the BFG 5.4.2 from the Github from this thread.

Software:  BFG 5.4.2, from jstefanop's github, on this thread, been fine for months.   
- Google found a couple threads where BFG won't detect devices, not sure how they relate here.

UART VPC Driver: Obtained from this thread, been working fine from the get go.

I'm physically away from the rig, will have a short window on the rig tomorrow, and wanted to get my thoughts in order before tackling...

I'm reckoning since this coincided with this morning's W10 update, I may not be alone.

Much obliged!

I've two of these, each with 2 ML2s.....

Thank you and to (in my case) HolyBitcoin for making this happen  - I've been learning lots about Scrypt, other cryptos, hubs & such with these machines....    Cheers!!!

I went XVG route also....   Took "forever" getting the thing to synch before I found the trick....

I've got mine mounted horizontally with the heat sink down.   In the dim lights, it actually looks like a little satellite chirping away   

Learning lots.....

Seems that way for the moment - Guess it depends on one's entry point, timing and posture....

I entered BTC ASIC mining after BTC crashed from $1k and was at $200 each - People were selling rigs by the "pallets"....   

I harvested in 3Q17, came short of a lambo by a lot so I and opted for rack of GPUs (3Q17) and a couple ML2s (4Q17)...

Learning a heck of a lot about Scrypt, that's for sure!

YMMV...

Best wishes with the move.....    Cheers!

When the rig and internet hub are in the same room, I used ethernet.    When I moved the rigs to other rooms, the wifi (in my situation) got flaky.   For those remote locations, powerline internet adapters ($50'ish) worked just fine.    The spec sheet mentions 300' runs max so even if the rig location is in the room next door, you have to consider the copper path from the internet hub to the junction box and then to the room next door...     YMMV

New to alt-coin but been seen this for years in equities, futures, and commodities - It's called the "Retail Flush"   Often synched with news events.    Getting burnt a couple times is "oddly" a good thing - You'll learn to recognize this spikes and learn how to fade them. An understanding of volume, price action and technicals helps...    Cheers!

Would someday love hearing of your adventure - In the mean time, just got paid today!    Cheers!

Also keep in mind that this is a pretty new concept and it will evolve as things progress.

Newbie on board -  Using my S4 to heat the 1st floor this winter...   Proud participant of that "last" horrific block.

I'm positive I've lots to learn but very impressed with the operations...

All the Best!
