Re: Official FutureBit Apollo II/BTC Software/Image and Support thread

I updated to 2.0.6 today and the apollo-api service no longer starts. Anyone got any tricks to debug?

All I get in syslog is

systemd[1]: Started Apollo API & UI app.
systemd[1]: apollo-api.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=7/BUS

And running the systemctl command myself

sudo /usr/local/nvm/versions/node/v21.6.2/bin/node /opt/apolloapi/src/init.js
Bus error


Seems its still mining, but the UI is broken.

I like the fan idea - are they really useful?
While I can appreciate the extra air flow, I can't think that these would decrease temps by more than a couple degrees..

Wow -
So roughly 66k bitcoins were stolen after MtGox freeze?  Who lost that much and is still afloat?

What's the point of selling 8cores 1GB, but not allowing maximum cpu utilization. Folks who choose many cores and small ram must want to squeeze every bit of cpu.

If every user used 100% of the service they purchase phone calls would cost $1 a minute, virtual servers would not exist, and you would still have to visit a college to get online.

is the fan needed for the asicminers?

Not at all, but it's nice to have.  I think the heatsinks do a lot more to cool the chips down

Hi guys, I just noticed the items I bought last month are a lot cheaper. 

Arctic Breeze Fan was $17.98 - now $8.99!
Edimax wireless was $21.94 - now $10.97!

Guess all our buying lowered prices  Tongue

Re: Scrypt ASIC

ASIC chips designed to mine bitcoins will never mine scrypt-based coins.  It's not a problem of RAM, the problem is the chips spit out SHA hashes which are not compatible with scrypt.

[SOLD] Raspberry PI w/ case and wireless (mBTC)
by

on 10/06/2013, 20:55:28 UTC

Item is sold - this thread is now closed

http://i.imgur.com/MN7bYCH.jpg

Amazon - Raspberry PI
Amazon - Clear Case
Amazon - Wireless

Selling verified working Raspberry PI with wireless and case in like new condition!

Used it for about a week with minepeon but decided to go with a different low-power option.  

Perfect match for ASICMiner Erupter USB and BFL devices!

Combined total for these 3 items is $67.50 - selling here for 650 mBTC shipping included (US or Canada)!


I want to build some reputation here, so I've priced it lower than cost.  I am OK with sending first so long as the buyer has enough rep otherwise I would want BTC in hand before shipping.

Re: [GROUP BUY] 100 KnC Jupiter 1-500

Well this looks fun - a 100 unit order.

I assume we would pay shipping after you receive the units?

Would you foresee any problems shipping to the US?

I have been sitting on the fence about KNC, but this seems like a good deal.

I'll send 1 btc over once I get it from my exchange.

EDIT:
At current rates 1 jupiter would be 64 btc - can you list what all the 70 btc covers exactly?

Ignoring KNC pre-order sellers
by
redcomet
on 06/06/2013, 21:04:13 UTC
Hey all - I've been not too happy with the way KNC basically created a secondary market for 1-500 "Golden Ticket" pre-orders causing many users of this forum to consider the action of sending in a contact form a month ago to be worth up to 10 btc.  So I did what any reasonable person would do and ignore everyone I have seen selling these tickets.  

I realize that being on my ignore list probably does not mean much to these people, but if anyone else feels the same way I do - I am posting these usernames here for other people to ignore.  

monstrs
FlappySocks
koopa
ninjaboon
polrpaul
Bowjob
pizza
sbbc
idee2013
titomane
obiwanjabroni
tempt

For the record - I believe these people have the right to charge whatever they want for their "effort."  If there is a market, then there is nothing wrong with exploiting it.  However I also believe we have the right to no longer communicate with sellers who have demonstrated less than favorable intentions.

I like this coin because it has 10x the support and usage of any other non-major alt coin and no one seems to know about it.

Not too long ago I bought 10k LTC at 60 cents each - holding over 30k PXC now and feel the same feeling.

Will update more once I have confirmation on refund.

If they confirm a refund in the purchase agreement if unable to deliver I would double the BTC amount I PMed you about.

Well, I'll make an offer of 8 BTC

I am being generous with the difficulty estimating to even achieve that much.

It's really difficult to plan for more than 1 month ROI these days.
