What is FutureBits' stance on the OP_RETURN debate? Would you give us an option to switch to Knots instead of Core for the node? And being able to filter out spam? I know it's an older version of Core right now but it's going to be updated eventually right?

Came to ask the same thing. Would like to run knots if possible.

Trying to find out how to run Bitcoin Knots on my Apollo II full node also. Any step by step instructions?

From what I understand there's a future update coming out that will let us chose our own node implementation software; I suggest waiting for that for ease of use

Great news! I appreciate the FutureBit team for a great product and look forward to this update.

If you haven't seen, they are teasing Apollo III on X....

Does this mean that we will not see this for Apollo II? I suggest holding off on purchasing this product until it is implemented

Try updating the unit first to do that, just go to your unit's IP on the browser, then go to settings or a shutdown icon look-alike on the top right under version just click the version.
Wait for it, if it shows a new version is available, don't close it, it will automatically update to the most recent version.

If it's already using the latest version, then you're other option is to try SD card flashing, the guide on how to flash the SD card can be found here https://www.futurebit.io/apollo-btc-support
Make sure to backup all files first from SD card before flashing it.

If my solution doesn't work try some solution from here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5340015.msg57091053#msg57091053

Reflashing the SD card worked. Thank you!

Hello,

I reflashed the SD card on my Apollo II full node but cannot get past ~380,000 blocks. Connection status repeatedly goes on and offline. No errors, just warning when offline "warning Connection refused. Your node is not running." and when online I am connected to anywhere from 3-12/64 connections

I turned off the miner as suggested online, but still not progressing.

Submitted a request online with FutureBit 3 days ago with no response.

Anyone have any suggestions for what may be causing this?


Bad controller memory chips?  See post 2980.  

I see that Futurebit support response time hasn't improved, that's disappointing....

I just read your response in post #2971:

"Reformat the SSD:  Settings/Extras.

This was suggested to me by FB support (after waiting a week for a response, of course) and it worked for me.  Had the same issue: "Connection refused""

It's holding its connection and syncing...fingers crossed. Thank you @bubbAJoe.


It worked, and I am now fully synced and mining. Now I need to start running Bitcoin Knots. Thanks again
