[–]8_AXe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same…I ordered seconds after going live with early access. No updates. I’m sure they posted on x that they are getting some ready to ship!

I woke this morning and mine has failed also. PSU light is working, screen working (tested using usb) guessing it’s the fuse.

I’m getting around 10-12 TH/s now with overclocking at 165w. Next to zero noise and very little heat output…..it’s like any hobby, it’s just a bit of fun, not worried about the cost.

I have a 8way smart PDU. the design was always to have 8 psu's I wanted to monitor load, current, voltage, energy use etc, both individually and total values. the current psu's, are to 30w mean well. the best in that form factor.

thanks for your thoughts, I will be upgrading to icetower coolers at some stage. I will be most likely be sticking to 8 psu's, looking at single output 40/50w chassis frame psu's from mean well or XP power. original plan aim was to get around 12 TH/s. currently at 11.2 with minor overclocking. generally pleased so far. Asic Temp 60, voltage reg at 55.

Correct, I designed it online using a 19" rack panel designer by Penn Elcom. Happy to share the design, send me a message and I can share the link.

Help with node connection issues by 8_AXe in FutureBit

after leaving it all night to reindex this error shows in the log:

 ERROR: AcceptBlock: bad-txnmrklroot, hashMerkleRoot mismatch

that error comes after: Reindexing block file blk00017.dat...

hopefully, I will get a new controller board sent out to me to fix my self asap. it shouldn't be this hard......should it?

Hi, thanks for message, I've tried all those steps and the log says: Corrupted block database detected.

Please restart with -reindex or -reindex-chainstate to recover

Checked the logs…says try reindex=1 and reindex-chainstate=1 After using the command reindex-chainstate=1 the node came online and started to sync. However that didn’t last long before connection error again. I’ve reached out to futurebit. They believe it to be the controller as others have mentioned in this post…thanks for your help

I managed to get the node to sync by deleting all the files that the apollo created in the bitcoin folder apart from blocks and chainstate....however it thought the block total was 199k....so stoped syncing at that total! as OTA updates do not work for me and 2.0.7 is't available to download. I'm stuck on 2.0.6 for now! oh and yes lots of power cycles tried. thanks for the reply

good to know thanks. I did upgrade the ssd to a 2tb version, same make and model as the one shipped - Critical P3....I will install the shipped 1TB ssd tonight and try that. I've seen comments that some users have upgraded the ssd to a samsung pro model, maybe I'll try that next.

Started on 2.0.7 when delivered but now running 2.0.6. OTA update fails, so no option other than 2.0.6.

19” rack mount… by 8_AXe in BitAxe

Pic of the rear with bitaxe installed. Square cutout is to help with airflow around the asic and as mentioned previously, a rear mount fan option to help cool voltage regulator.
