going on guys we have another box from belay mining to open up so who could tell me what may
be in here and another way you can tell this is from belay mining is because their wrapping makes
it so it's pretty much 100 percent tapper proof you cannot get into this thing it's like a vault
which we did see in their previously etc mini so we're going to have to do some
rabid magic to open this thing up all right so let's get to this rabbit magic
okay so uh the magic was a little too powerful it kind of blew aside out the box here but that's
okay that's all right let's see what we got going on we got ourselves a power cable here
yes c13 to your standard 120 volt plug here that we do need in north america
so perfect there what do we got here i'm assuming the power supply 100
bam oh yes we got a power supply and another double six pin two six pins here so we'll see
what kind of power we're gonna be dealing with with whatever minor this may be the box looks
a little goldish so that's interesting let's get this guy out oh oh open open all right so we have
apollo i apollo.com nano fpu inside if you can kind of see that it's kind of
hard to see with all that sparkly glitter golden stuff that's okay let's open this up
boom product manual see you later i'm just kidding guys you always keep your manual you never know if
you have questions we got the antenna at the top just like the etc classic mini v1 that we've seen
oh and it says right on the side right here i apolo v1 mini wi-fi a little higher angle stealthy
skills here to get this boxing undone and oh my gosh it won't come out guys it won't come out
not very stealthy at all oh wait progress progress here it comes here it comes it's out don't drop
it we kind of did that last time but that's okay still worked all right we got a box here
let's see what we got top layer off definitely golden oh it's got another red pill this has
the red pill as well it does say f so it combine ethereum just kidding that's for ethernet cable
but i do believe this is the v1 this can mine ethereum as well as ethereum classic
should be around 300 mega hash at about i don't know 200 some watts obviously we're gonna see
how much power this does utilize at the wall because so far they have all been using more
than advertised so here's how we do set up our v1 mini now i like to just go straight into my
router as soon as you plug it in and insert the ethernet cable it will pop up in your router you
can use something like ipreporter but i just find this the easiest way so once you do find which
ip your miner is on simply put that into the top there of your browser and it will bring you to the
screen default username and password is both root once you get that in there i highly urge you guys
to change that password so we're going to come in we're going to go to minor configuration and this
is where you set up your pool you are going to have to put in your stratum i have it currently
set up it is mining ethereum put in your address here this is would be labeled as your worker name
put a period and then whatever you do want to name this miner i have it as v1 mini and you do have to
have a password of x or it doesn't seem to want to start running after about five minutes or so
it will begin mining yourself some ethereum i haven't been running here for about a day so i
have somewhat of a decent estimated average hash rate it does have a low reported hash rate which
is nothing near to what this thing hashes at we're gonna have a quick look at the stats of this miner
so here we are at belay mining's website it does dictate ethereum as well as the ethereum classic
symbols here hash rate is estimated at about 300 mega hash consumption 240 watts algorithm
etch f vram is six gigabytes so for those of you that are curious about six gigabytes if we do go
to our dag size calculator we're on ethereum right now six gigabytes of ram will get us to about july
7th of 2024 if we look at aetherium classic six gigabytes should give us here about
until about february 19th of 2032 so quite a bit of time on ethereum classic because we do know
that ethereum is set to move the proof of stake sometime within the end of the year here
while we're over on the belay mining website i do want to point out that they do have a promotion
going on on these apollo miners now allegedly it's the cheapest you can find anywhere on the
internet i will have a link to this page in the description below so be sure to click on that in
order you want to go purchase yourself some of these i also have a coupon code that may give
you a discount as well i'm not sure if it works on this actual promotion and discounts that they have
but try it out it's beside that in the description below as well and they have all sorts of payment
methods like amex apple pay discover something google pay mastercard and visa so there's a lot of
different ways to pick up these miners and again this is supposed to be the cheapest place to buy
any of these i apollo mini home miners so on the belay mining website here it does say ethereum as
well as ethereum classic but if i go to the main apollo website for the i apollo v1 mini they only
have it listed here as the ethereum symbol but down under digital currency it does show etc
so i don't know if this thing can swap or not so we're going to try that out right now i'm going
to move this over to ethereum classic and we're just going to see if it works actually before i
even do that it's currently online on flexpool so we can kind of look at its hash rates right now so
i can see it is current have an effective of 273 watts and here you can see it's reporting 33. i've
seen a report 66 as well as 99 i don't know what's going on there but the current effective is 273
the average with the jazz minor is about 1.8 so we are around the 250 to 300 mega hash range here
i'm gonna have to let it sit for a few days so i can get some for sure numbers
but we're probably fairly close to 300 mega hash now as for power consumption we are around 246
watts all right so i am going to switch this over to ethereum classic just to see if we can get it
mining so i'm gonna go over to wooly pooly which is where i currently have the etc mini which is
the little mini 140 mega hash thing link is in the description as well for that but i have a
solo mining ethereum classic currently so i'm just going to put them all in the same place
here so i'm going to pick the canadian stratum because obviously that's the closest for me i'm
going to come back into the miner if i can find it there we go so i'm just going to get rid of
this url here now the wallet i'm using my address and everything is exactly the same krypto.com will
dictate which coin i'm getting paid in so i don't have to do nothing else if you have a separate etc
address you are going to have to put that here and then you can change the worker name if you
want and again password would be x so now i'm just going to hit save and apply it's going to
do its thing here then we should have to wait you know anywhere from a couple minutes to potentially
five minutes and then we should begin mining so i'm going to go into my running overview
nothing go to information so this is where we'll see elapsed time so right
now we're at one second i'll give another quick refresh and it's still at one second
still one second all right so i'm just gonna wait a few more seconds well i'm gonna give
it some time here and then we'll just let this thing finally boot up you know what let's do
one more click there we go four seconds so it's starting to do its count up here get works one
so it's swapping over now now one thing i did notice i went through every configuration
and unlike the jazz minor where you did have to select either ethereum or ethereum classic to
switch algorithms this doesn't have that anywhere trust me i went through every single option here
and i couldn't find it so hopefully maybe this just auto switches on its own i'm gonna give it
some time though and we will come back okay guys so about nine and a half minutes has gone by uh it
started around five minutes but it's doing nothing but throwing out rejected shares and xero accepted
so i'm starting to think this probably cannot mine ethereum classic if i go to the pool here
wooly pooly all that's here is the normal i paolo this is the 140 mega hash apollo v1 mini uh mini
classic version i guess you did see that video potentially in the past so if you haven't though
check it out but i am solo mining ethereum classic because why that's where the money is you know
forget about ethereum ethereum classic is where it's at currently anyway but yeah i am not seeing
this v1 mini popping up at all so it's not looking like it can swap over to ethereum classic okay so
i do have an update i emailed belay mining and i asked him about this if this thing can legitly
mine ethereum classic and they said they don't think so yet if you're unfamiliar why guys and
you may be thinking etc is the same it's not a few months back etc did swap to a thanos hard fork and
removed asic capability of the ethash algorithm now we have these mini aces coming out for etc
but ethereum classic is now on etc not f hash so it does look like this miner can
only mine ethereum and other eth coins so they also i do want to say it sounds like apollo may be
working on a firmware belay miner says they think apollo is working on a firmware update to allow
etc capability on this specific miner but again i cannot say it's confirmed it's just in theory they
think they are so as of right now this can only mine the ethereum hash rate or ether algorithm
okay so it looks like ethereum classic is a no-go on this miner so that actually kind of sucks i
really hope they do implement that firmware update for this miner obviously i will keep you guys
updated as soon as i hear anything but i'm going back to ethereum because there's no point wasting
rejected shares and power trying to mine something that it can't so we're going back to ethereum
we're going back to flex pool and then in a later video i'll update you guys when i hear anything so
if you are looking for this specific miner or any of the other ipollo miners be sure to check the
links in the description i will have my discount code down there as well so be sure to use it and
see if it works or not and as always i'll see you on the next one Rabid out thank you for watching
my video and if you haven't seen one of these be sure to check them out if you've already seen them
maybe you missed some might have to watch it one more time and if you just let it play in the
background that's all right as well i do try to live stream every weekend as well as every couple
days during the week so be sure to be subscribed so you don't miss that as always have a great day
