Re: Official FutureBit Apollo II/BTC Software/Image and Support thread
Was sitting at 6.7B for best share from my 2 Apollo IIs for the longest time. Just hit 112B best share from my USB Apollo II.
Only 962x short of network difficulty, LOL.

Just short of my best share 132,337,685,248
Has anyone with an Apollo II hit a best share in the trillions yet?
Closest I've come in about five months of hashing = 55,748,041,309
I managed to pop a 335B best share back in Sept or maybe Aug 2024. Nothing better or close to that since. Yet.
Cheers!
my best ever share 256,887,704,896

Re: Official FutureBit Apollo II/BTC Software/Image and Support thread
Hi, I bought the FutureBit Apollo 2 miner and have the node fully synced but I'm unable to mine to a non-solo mining pool.
Solo mining works perfectly though.
Can anyone please advise on how to troubleshoot?
My node is fully synced.
My network connections are about 62/64.
HDD remaining space is about 24% (am using a 1TB ssd).
On the miner page, the hashboard is active status and showing normal hashrate (6+TH/s). But the pools though is active status but is showing 0 TH/s, with connection of 1024.
In the pool settings, neither the preconfigured Braiins nor the Ocean.xyz pools seem to work. My bitcoin wallet address starts with bc1 and password set to x.
Have checked my mining status on both Braiins and Ocean but does not show my btc wallet address.
Thanks for your help

As another person has stated - when you mine using Braiins, you need to set up an account with them first. Then their pool address would be entered into the apollo - with your braiins account name as the user id. password is most likely 'x'
Just look up their mining help / support page - it's pretty good.
Re: Official FutureBit Apollo II/BTC Software/Image and Support thread
The core cpu is a raspberry pi
Nope! It isn't a RaspberryPi!
It is listed as "6 ARM Core CPU @ 2GHZ and 4GB of RAM" which I believe is actually an OrangePi 4!
I have a non-working USB port in mine batch 1 node. Does this mean I can replace the pi in the node with a new board (OrangePi 4) - reflash and it will be fixed?
thanks.
Re: Official FutureBit Apollo II/BTC Software/Image and Support thread
Apollo BTC. I had the wrong MCU version flashed. So I reflashed it, and let the node catch up to the current block and hit start miner. Its been churning for 3 days with the message - 'waiting for the current miner status to match the desired one (online)'
This doesn't seem to be working itself out.
Do I need to reformat the SSD and start from scratch? Or should I be able to re-flash the correct MCU image and get this working again.
Thanks!

If your unit us Apollo BTC try to flash it back to MCU2 since according to futurebit support you can download either MCU1 or MCU2 so it means the MCU2 is supported on Apollo BTC and Apollo II is not compatible with MCU1. Try to reflash it again and test it with MCU2 image.
did that already. I'm wondering if there's something I need to dump in the drive, for it to rebuild and connect. just churning, and I hate to have to start from scratch.
Re: Official FutureBit Apollo II/BTC Software/Image and Support thread
Node is working but hashboard is not. I have a standard unit connected to the node, and that IS working.
Any steps I can take to get the hashboard in the node to work?
Thanks!

Apollo BTC or Apollo II? Make sure you have flashed the correct MCU image for your device otherwise the hashboard wont work.

Have you added the user that is running the miner software to the dailout group? I assume the standard unit is connected by USB?
Added the user to the dialout group? <-- what the heck is a dialout group?
Yes, Standard unit is connected via usb

3 questions
1) I'd like to connect a second unit to my V1 node using a USB hub. Do I use the USB-C on the side or the USB-A on the back?
2) Is there a limit to the number of units I can connect to a V1?
3) Whats the spec difference of the V1+2, because the V1 is running a on a pi - is the v2 also running on a pi?
Thanks!
