Hey yall, its been a while!
Got my shiny new Apollo BTC's today, and got them up and running easily and seamlessly.
A really nice industrial design, and UX design on this one, well done!
I do have a few questions, that are more likely feature requests...
- 1. Can you set a hashrate target (instead of energy target), and have the power and clocks adjust to meet it?
- 2. Can you do any type of scheduling for adjusting hashrate, or starting/stopping the hash? My electricity costs are dramatically higher in the evening and would want to mine outside that window daily.
- 3. If you have multiple Apollo units, controlled by one "Main/Full" unit, can you have those identified as separate workers to a pool? .
- 4. What are considered "reasonable" temperatures, or perhaps what are MAXIMUM temperatures which should not be exceeded for these units?.
Thanks, and cheers!
1. No, you can't do this. The miner itself doesn't really know it's true hashrate. The JSON log will let you see different ways it's calculated (by work solves, by pool hash rate, or by pool provided jobs
2. Yes, but you need to use cron jobs or other scheduling to do this. If you buy the full package, you'd need to SSH in and setup the scheduling jobs to stop the miner and restart it with different parameters
3. Don't have a full unit, but you can definitely start each miner separately from the command line (they all use a unique USB tty ID)
4. Mine run at around 60 C on average. No sure on max, but I haven't seen any high temperature alarms
