Anyone know why Apollo OS shows two different hash rates? The hash rate for solo mining pool seems to be different than the hash rate shown on the overview page (i.e., hashboards).

Is there any way to remotely access the OS to monitor stats or to otherwise change settings? e.g., when traveling or away from home

If you have extra PC/Laptop which is connected to the internet and can be run 24/7 you can try Chrome Remote Desktop, which you can connect to through your mobile remotely.
Then access your PC/laptop on your phone and use the IP of the unit to access the dashboard. You can check its stats and change settings while you are away from your home.

I use a free version of TeamViewer and leave a laptop running.

Isn't there an increased security risk with this? I don't think the connection through TeamViewer is encrypted but will check it out.

I think you have to generate a link code locally to connect using Chrome Remote Desktop. Unless you're saying to do the connection first, then leave it on 24/7; not sure if the connection expires or has to be refreshed with a new link but will look into it. Thanks!

Hello,

Why does the OS show different hashrates for the Miner and Solo Mining, shouldn't they be the same if the only thing running is Solo Mining? There seem to be different rates for "hashboards and for the miner.

Also, do I need to update Bitcoin Core Version to latest? Mine seems to be running 25 while current in 29.

Thanks!

Mine took 10 days to sync but finally complete! However, the HDMI signal was not being recognized by the monitor, or the Apollo II was not recognizing the monitor, so had to reboot once the node sync was complete and worked well after that.

Does anyone know:

1. How to remote access your home network so I can access the OS and monitor the device?

2. Should I update the BTC Core version? It seems I have version 25 when the current is 29.

3. Is Bitcoin Core Wallet not required to run Bitcoin Core?


Thanks!

Where can I purchase this without KYC? Do you have official distributors in the US? Your shop requires KYC and ID upload for purchases.
