The only real answer to this question is that right now you can mine the most crypto from any given hardware in recent litecoin history. It is without the doubt the best moment to be mining, and people in a few years would kill to be able to mine .2 litecoin a month, just like people wish they could mine anything close to .2 bitcoin a month today on a small peice of hardware running on your desk  This is where I find the disconnect between BTC and LTC. BTC is actively being developed, but LTC feels abandoned by Charlie Lee and no one has really stepped up. I still like that pooler put in a lot of work with litecoinpool, cpuminer, electrum-ltc. And you jstefanop with this ASIC miner, bfgminer, etc. Hard to say if LTC community can really step up with the coding side of it. I haven't seen any commits in over a year. Any person with absolute lowest IQ (that would be me!!) should be able to connect the dots and says NO to LTC! Announcement was all over the news and internet: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/20/litecoin-founder-charlie-lee-sells-his-holdings-in-the-cryptocurrency.htmlHow much and when? When it was as high as LTC boy figured his baby coin could reach! https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/litecoin/So, it went UP UP UP ... the guy emptied his wallet to ZERO ... since then LTC has kept going DOWN DOWN DOWN ... because certainly developers do not give CRAP CRAP CRAP!! https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/codm8v/charlie_lee_admitting_that_leaked_chat_about_no/FWIW, CL says he sold some and donated some ... but no one knows where he donated!! |

I was wondering if it's normal .. or is it a virus inside the bfgminer software? does it look like something Coinbase?  There is no virus in the “official” version of bfgminer - unless you download it from some other “unofficial” locations. When it says all pools dead - it means either the pool’s belly has gone down or your own local network is the issue. |

Mining crypto and securing the network is never a loss, and thats even more true unless you somehow lose the coins you mined. The only time you "lose" is if you are selling crypto for fiat, in which case you dont belong here and you should be making fiat some other way. The reason I built sub 200 watt machines are so people never have to worry about how much fiat that are using to run one 24/7, because a cup of coffee a month almost anyone can afford, but the upside to what they are mining in crypto is almost limitless. The answer I give most people when they bring up "but your mining at a fiat loss so why would you mine at all" is to go back to the beginning and realize why people were mining bitcoin when it was literally "worthless" against fiat. The only real answer to this question is that right now you can mine the most crypto from any given hardware in recent litecoin history. It is without the doubt the best moment to be mining, and people in a few years would kill to be able to mine .2 litecoin a month, just like people wish they could mine anything close to .2 bitcoin a month today on a small peice of hardware running on your desk On a different note, where are all the Apollo Full Node holdouts??? Were ~10 nodes away from being the #3 most popular node on the Litecoin network....grab a spare USB drive and fire up those nodes we should be in the hundreds by now! First thing first: I was a fan - and still am of your hard work and bravery betting your time, energy and resources on LTC! I am sure you could've chosen any other crypto / coin and come up with similar idea / solution and implement it. But, you chose LTC! Why? I still don't know and you don't share what affected your decision. Not our business ... it's your business!! But I never said mining is wrong. Looking at LTC foundation's in/activities which they don't even care to update their main web site with current year (still showing 2019) and their official forums with questions like "How often you visit dating sites" and etc, I say mining or even bothering with LTC is a loss. What could change my mind with LTC is to hearing news like Atari's choice of LTC ( https://www.theblockcrypto.com/linked/65840/litecoin-and-atari-team-up-in-anticipation-of-the-atari-tokens-launch) helps me not Zzzzzzzzz when someone talks about LTC!! Yes, certain people at certain point of time do things that absolutely makes no sense to dummies like yours truly .... and years later I still kick myself why I wasted my time working my butt off at some highly paid IT company!! But yesterday's ideas / solutions and or one of a kind life time opportunities come and go - and only ONCE! It would make feel even more stupid if I try to repeat what people used to do years ago and got huge returns. I'd rather not waste my time on yesterday's brilliant ideas / dreams which became reality for some people! It's done - gone - deal with it -> I'll try to keep my eyes open for the next unknown stupid idea similar to mining or buying bitcoin years ago! Mining LTC though is not one of them ... their golden days are long gone. As for mining and wasting electricity, YES, it is indeed waste of energy which can be used for a lot more critical things in the world ... like helping certain part of our world without power or super expensive! But, I still do it! I mine ETH or ETC with only 1 RX 580 GPU 24x7 and pays for itself a lot quicker than mining LTC. More critical is the fact that ETH boys and girls are full of positive ideas / activities / updates etc which keep me sit straight, pay attention and take notes. What I do appreciate your company is the fact that I purchased both your products (Apollo and Moonlander 2) NOT as money making machine but strictly for education and I learned a lot and helped me to open my eyes to this wonderful world of future. One of the highlights of my short journey with Futurbit is that ASIC mining is even more wrong and it's interesting how many popular cryptos change / upgrade their networks / protocols to keep ASIC miners far away. LTC is in hands of a few hundred major miners worldwide with thousands of devices in their farms so in fact LTC's future is in their hands! Why would I care to keep LTC network secure by running a node so they can benefit from increased security of LTC network which obviously would raise the LTC price and make even more cash for their LTC?? Your company didn't work so hard for over a year to just enable Apollo to work as a node and become #3 or #1 popular node out there. I know why you did it but you should've thrown a bigger bone for little guys like me to get our attention to care. |

Is there a warranty on the Moonlander 2 devices? I just bought mine about 2 months ago, and I think one of them is already starting to go out. I run it stock, and don't overclock it, if that matters.
Thanks!
Doctor’s 1st quesion: what symptom/s you’re experiencing? These little toys should last forever unless someone hammers them - - except its fan which sometimes makes noise but you can use a small screw driver and tight or loose them - just a bit. |

Just got a new FutureBit Batch 3 and my dashboard doesn't show us. It said: SyntaxError: Unexpected token in JSON at position 1476 Anyone can help me with that. Thanks  Download the image again (don’t use whatever you already have) and build your SD card. |

Hello, i'm a newbie and thinking to buy an Apollo.
I juste have 2 questions :
- what is the interest to run a full node ?
- what benefit i can expected / month with this Apollo
Many thanks.
Short answer; don’t bother. Long answer; one of the most popular and trustworthy pools for LTC here: https://www.litecoinpool.org/calcIf you even pay for electricity as low as .10 (USD), there will be loss. Due to obvious reasons (google it!), the number of LTC miners are decreasing by day - first little guys / penny makers not wasting time / money and now big boys too. Sure the network difficulty decreases ... but the problem is LTC price also keeps going down affecting those who pay for power! Hope, above answered your 2nd question! As for your 1st question, absolutely nothing except helping network to become more secure thus helping the giant miners make more $$ - until LTC’s done - forever! NOTE: as an owner of 1 batch 2 and about 8 or something Moonlander 2, I packed them all up and somewhere in the basement until I figure out what to do with them!! Also, above are my own thoughts based on extensive research on LTC / its founder’s activities. However, perhaps some other experts on this fine board could share some behind the scene info not available anywhere else. P.S If you are really interested to get in to this mining business (sort of making a few extra dollars and education), I recommend GPU mining. Check out whattomine.com for detailed info. |

Why are you even here - whats your goal? You’re constantly spreading completely baseless BS, and clearly have no clue on how to tune GPUs/miners.
Go away troll.
Truth shall set us all free - share your source code to prove I’m full of shit! |

For miners that don't fully trust the displayed hashrate or that the communicated dev fee is correct, I would argue that the best way to verify poolside/dev fee hashrate is with fake pool hacks, much like the one we built ourselves for ethash, available on my github. It sets a low diff, the miner you want to test submits many many more shares compared to a normal pool, and after maybe 12h you have a very accurate picture of the "poolside" hashrate of the miner you're testing because you'll have submitted 500,000 shares by then and get a much much more accurate data point than looking at a 6h or 24h average on some pool for 1000 submitted shares (which really means nothing tbh). I had better idea to prove my findings .... tested the hacked releases of 2 VERY popular ETH mining softwares and noticed my hash rates went up almost double compare with using the original ones! Shocking, eh!! Yeah, sounds a little weird tbh. Therefore, I'm happy to make you a public bet for 1 BTC with a known escrow that you're full of shit, care to take me up on it? You provide your magic hacked software that produces 58-62 MH/s on a Polaris card or 95-100 MH/s on a Vega 56/64, hashrate is then verified statistically by a 3rd party for a test with approx 1 million submitted shares to get the bounds on the Poisson distribution within reasonable bounds, then the escrow pays out? Would love to make an easy 1 BTC. [/quote] Save your 1 BTC ... just share the code in that source folder you created in github! |

I didn't understand, why all start to mine kawpow. It uses more power. Eth algo gives more profit.
Like pbfarmer said, RVN looked significantly sexier just a few days ago. It's also a very fresh algo addition in TRM as well with the new release, and imho the first and only public progpow implementation for AMD so far that can compete with Team Green, especially for the 7nm gpus like VIIs and Navis. Right now, and if you trust whattomine and with some ballpark nrs for $0.06/kwh, a VII doing 80 MH/s ethash at 180W and 40 MH/s kawpow at 300W gets you $1.26 net for kawpow and $1.04 net for plain ETH. Nicehash ethash says net $1.21, but imho it's hard to realize the full 100% of your hashrate on Nicehash due to rejects. Now, change those $0.06/kwh to $0.10/kwh and it most definitely shifts into ethash being the best choice. My point is more that there are situations where kawpow is a rational choice, but yeah, for most people there are other factors to take into account (power cost, heat/cooling etc). It’s not the 1st for AMD - there are at least 2 more before theirs! Also, don’t forget 2% TRM fee for their fresh algo addition compare to their ETH fee - probably more unless we actually see their source code!! |

What’s going on these last few days??
Your web site and everything else has become like a roller coaster ... up / down / up / down / up / down...!!
Make up your mind ... you are supposed to be either UP or DOWN!!

Hello and thank you for the great product you make. I have just purchased my Batch 3 unit an it is on the way. Cannot wait. I currently have batch 2 unit that has not been upgraded. I have a dumb question but i have to ask because for whatever reason i just do not get it. Why would i want full node? What benefits over pool mining? I guess I just do not understand what it even is. Flame away!
It’s not a dumb question - it’s a very legit concern! My node was up and running since day 1 - until this morning! Your kindness and generosity running node allows LTC to stay alive, secure, and helps keep its price a little higher - a little longer - until those few individuals with free electricity and hundreds more stronger ASIC can cash out!  |

Try TeamRedMiner Ethash for a real hashrate.
Most popular pools do not even acknowledge TRM ... due to its instability as well as outrages fees - unless there’ no other miner available. As for ETH and its lower dev fees compare to others - well ... due to its closed source, I don’t trust them!! |

I’ve got 10 Moonlander 2 currently on litecoinpool. Those of you who own more than 1, do you run them under 1 worker or multiple?

It’s probably a personal question so feel free to ignore but what are your other fav coins out there? Again, I understand it’s a private matter - so my apologies in advance.  nah i dont mind. currently mining dash, verge, litecoin, doge, litecoin cash, digibyte and bitcoin. though I dont keep any real quantity of anything but doge and bitcoin. the others are just ways to make revenue. Just started with giving verge a go at it today. in the past i have mined bitcoin cash, monero, ethereum, ravencoin, x0, digital note and a handful of others that all get sold rather quickly. I dont like to keep the alt coins but I like supporting crypto in general and that is why I run as many nodes as I can. Thanks for sharing. So, 100% ASIC expert we’ve got here! I’m still learning but recently became interested in privacy coins - before that invested some big money on ETH mining stuff which not happy with my decision. Didn’t do my homework enough! Running nodes is a nice thing to do. I‘m going to do the same soon with other coins too. |

I don't think it yields twice the result though.
Agreed ... my assumption was based on their history of enhancements / speed updates and certain magical switches - since their Initial release. I’m kind of “end-user” who believes with the right tools / skills nothing is impossible! I am a little bit more acquainted in GPU programming so you can believe me that they don't have faster version than you have. Your suggestions are just a result of deep misunderstanding of basic principles in computer technologies and programming like the memory throughput of GPU and how much memory (this is 8K bytes) is read to calculate one hash. Competition is a basic market principle that makes the customer gets the best quality for the lowest price. Otherwise your competitor will get your customers. As my profile states, I am very newbie on this side - so for now - agreed and hope the next mining software will be announced by yourself. As for competition discussion, I am actually a lot more acquainted in human nature who loves things with a shiny sticker that reads: FREE! So, no matter how low CM and or any other mining software developer - including your upcoming software ask for, there will be always a huge percentage of us in this very forum complaining “how dare you ....” and ask for links to their FREE version - because humans are entitled to everything-free and or open-sourced so I can easily replace your wallet address with my own! Sorry to disappoint you, there won't be next mining software from me. Can't beat Phoenix's kernels in speed and power consumption. Just wanted to assure you that you already have the best possible mining software in the universe (and other possible multi-universes) without any hidden magic tricks that the developers keep for themselves. I was kidding ... but if you ever change your mind, you can count on my QA skills! |

Hi there ^^ I'm probably the 26 or 27.. from Tahiti, in the middle of nowhere  I had to open the port manually. My internet connection is full ahahah (got also few L3+ and S9 running) (1mo/s dowload max - 150/200 ko/s upload max, but it works ) Just to tell those who hesitate because it looks complicated, don't hesitate anymore, if a noob like me gets there, it's within everyone's reach! I have a little question, in few days i'm about to download another node from another project coming in phase 2 .. wouldn't it be better to have a second connection ? Happy mining and "nodeing" to everyone, Take care all of you if you are asking about running multiple nodes for different projects that should not be an issue. I have close to 12 different nodes running now. I am currently loading a verge node even as I type this. It’s probably a personal question so feel free to ignore but what are your other fav coins out there? Again, I understand it’s a private matter - so my apologies in advance. |
