Re: CANNOT RECEIVE WOF SPINS FROM FREEBITCO.IN FOR MY LOCKED TOKENS
Same issues, spins do not work and no help from the emails I have sent trying to address the problem. FUN tokens, the price goes nowhere or down, its all I scam I believe
Re: Official FutureBit Apollo BTC Software/Image and Support thread
I have a problem, I paid for two apollo-btc units , (batch one), and only one arrived. Since then I have sent all the documentation requested, received an apology, and assurance that the missing items were to mailed out, but after three weeks now nothing, not even a response to my recent inquiries about the status of my unfulfilled order. Its only about $350 in BTC but the reputation of the company is in my mind very bad. Its one thing to make a mistake and fix it, but to ignore my email inquiries into my paid order is not something a reputable establishment can or should survive. At best the over priced bug ridden device billed as an American company achievement is now starting to look like more of a disgrace. Just wondering who else has similar problems before I get banned from posting.
Have no idea who you are, but I do know all outstanding order issues were shipped last week. If your issue was not responded to in the last few days its because the team is out for 4th of July weekend. Simply send another email and youll be taken care of by Tuesday.
And to answer your question, no there is no one else with your issue, because we are not in the business of not shipping what our customers ordered. Mistakes happen and we resolve all of them as quickly as humanly possible.
Thanks for the kind words though

Double-check your USB node drive is plugged in the USB port in the back of your Apollo, properly formatted with the folder name "Bitcoin" in the root directory, and press the Start button below.
30 minutes later, several times, nothing but the same message, but it is mining finally for extended hours.

Hello, I don't mean to be pestering...but any eta on when a copy of the image will be uploaded? As of now, I can't use my device at all...until I can re-flash it. I'd appreciate any update/help.
Thanks!
Thanks!
+1 same situation here, without an image to reflash my unit is sat unable to do anything. Any estimate ETA at all?
They did mention some HDMI monitors may not work due to a simple HDMI controller on the SBC. That's why I just hooked it up via ethernet and went in via the web GUI but some others have not been able to do so that way

Re: Official FutureBit Apollo BTC Software/Image and Support thread
Where can I get an image to re-flash my sd card? I already forgot the password I set-up for my miner 
I clicked on the link on the first page of this thread but it just took me to a post that mentioned an updated image will be posted soon, but there was no download link to the current image file. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Thats my next move also due to all the blinking yellow lights on the board and I cant access it any longer either I clicked on the link on the first page of this thread but it just took me to a post that mentioned an updated image will be posted soon, but there was no download link to the current image file. Can someone please point me in the right direction?Thanks!
Re: Official FutureBit Apollo BTC Software/Image and Support thread
Well it worked for about 15 minutes, got a pool started and soon the red light went solid and I could no longer access the device, the IP address no longer shows up.
Found the IP address after rebooting and now refuses to connect
- after hooking up a monitor and keyboard, nothing to see here, but the miner suddenly starts mining again and I can access it again. Its still in eco mode, Node syncing is about half way finished now, Did something overheat or is the dynamic IP address a problem?
Locked up again after maybe one hour, cannot access with a monitor or through the IP address, no mining is happening on the website and the the blinking redlight and heat from the unit means its doing something, (using electricity).

They system might lock up a few times while its syncing, it should resolve by itself. Node uses up 100% of system resources, mining has priority though and should not stop. If you want to avoid these issues I would recommend you stop mining for ~24 hours while the node completes most of the syncing.
If your in a hot environment it could be that the CPU is overheating and shutting down. While we did extensive tests during syncing and running in ECO mode, it would overheat in certain situations while in Balanced/Turbo.
After turning the unit on, the solid red light stays on, its not in a hot environment. I cannot access with a monitor or through an IP address any longer either. I thought about maybe flashing the sd card. no software to do that though
new problem: The fan on the Pi makes a terrible high pitch periodic whining noise and still freezes after one hour of mining

My node is synched.
I am running eco
my hash board temp is 54c
but my cpu temp is always over 70c
mostly closer to 75c
so on the cpu temp is long term 75c okay what to watch for on cpu temps.
80c?
85c?
If I recall ARM cpu can run hot 🥵 safely.
oh room temp is 75-80f

Re: [ANN] FutureBit Project Apollo: Bringing ASIC Mining Back to the Home Miner!
Got it today mining at 100M, having some problem with Wi-Fi option and failover seems to be the only option with multiple pools. More to assess though.
Re: [ANN] FutureBit Project Apollo: Bringing ASIC Mining Back to the Home Miner!
Gridseed blades, ASIC 's, gridseeds with no fans, Zeus Blizzard and Thunder its amazing the amount of scrap metal I have laying around. I might have to get back on ebay and unload my antiques soon. hopefully soon, real soon. 
Hello,
Where do I find replacement fans?
thanks
George
Where do I find replacement fans?

George
LOOK AT THE LABEL--
Run a Google search on the model number on the label. This is a generic suggestion, it is how I find replacement fans of any type. Read carefully in the result descriptions so to match amperage, RPMs, bearing type, etc. --scryptr
I LOOKED AT THE LABEL. I was hoping someone else had some experience and insight that would help rather than asking me to do a google search. Anyone can do that. Crazy thought - create a community of Moonlander users that share ideas and experiences!
Also, I did a search and didn't find much.
Thanks
Page 81 of this thread has the last discussion about fans, Like I said you just need to look!
Per my previous post, I did search. Either my search criteria was bad or I just missed it - Which is why I asked in the first place.....
