Here we go guys...new image release finally out! ...

Great thank you so much jstefanop for all the work !
Here is a feature request for next update :

For example, I'd like to have the possibility to set the miner on balanced mode from 07:00PM to 07:00 AM and on another mode for another amount of time set in hours.

What do you think ?

Hi,

I'm curently mining on multipool.us and I was wondering what would be the best diff setting for the Apollo. I tried these settings now and I'm still not sure. What do you think, what is your experience?

  • Automatic: the pool sets difficulty to 65536, the hashrate seems to fluctuate a lot
  • Force it to 32768
  • Force it to 16384
  • Lower one ?

you have to short PS ON signal to GND in your 24pin connector like that :

with your psu switch off of course

Ok thanks, I just tried that now and Apollo is starting few seconds (fan spins and stops) but it won’t go any further: it stays with the 2 lights of Ethernet solid and not blinking. Not light in the front. I tried to unplug everything wait for 1 minute and plug everything back, but I get the same behavior.

Hi,I'm a newbie here and I've got just received my Apollo and I'm really thrilled to make it work  Smiley.

I did everything with the SD Card and it seems to have been burned right.

I have an issue and I'm not able to power up my Apollo : I'm using a brand new Egva G3. I plugged a VGA cable in VGA 1 in the EVGA and put the end of the  6+2 cable into one of the power inlet in the Apollo (I'm using only the 6 part cable, the +2 is floating in the air next to it). But it doesn't power up.

What did I do wrong ?

Thank you for your answers !! Dave

Hi guys,

Too bad the preorder is finished, if ever somebody changed its mind and don't want his miner anymore just PM, I'm really interested.
If not I'll wait for the next batch  Wink

By the way, I've 2 moonlanders 2 and ordered 3 more and I'm so thrilled to be able to mine at home with such great little machines  Grin, thank you so much !!
