FYI Batch 2 in-stock units are now available to order for people that didn't want to do a pre-order. All new orders ship within 5 days.

Thats pretty impressive...I dont think I ever got below .9 w/MH on my prototype units. Thats literally double the efficiency of an L3+. You probably have the most efficient scrypt setup in the world  

Yes, the case was completely redesigned for Batch 2.

Batch 2 In-Stock units are now available for order, all orders ship within a week!

Yea for sure. Did you hear about that other scammy coin called bitcoin? They scammed people into buying it at 20k and now its only 10k...would definitely stay away from that as well.

Dont even get me started on Ethereum...scammers got people to pay 1400 for it and now its only 200 LOL.

 

FYI @patrik was nice enough to add Apollo support to Awesome miner for whoever uses that!

Ive ran it on an old Airport express fine. Its probably not connecting due to your router being in mixed mode for SSID and/or compatable mode for encryptions. To minimize all issues have a separate SSID for 2.4ghz thats only straight b/g, and WPA2 only.  

Thumbs up for adding Apollo support!

Ive obviously been in the scrypt scene for a while so ill weigh in my 2 cents.

We are repeating the 2014-2017 cycle to the tee. We are already 30% down in hash power since peak, so same equipment is now only producing 20% less litecoins than they were before the halving. The halving has not pained the big boys yet since most of them are contract based. Once those expire or its time to renew power leases all remaining huge L3 farms that dont have free power will shutdown.

Anyone that has A6s or my Apollos will be producing more Litecoin in the coming months after the halving than before by end of the year. The only farms that can operate at scale at this point are the ones running in the 1W/MH range, which is only Apollos, A6s, and Shitmains internal L5s at this point.

I know most people can't see it, but these are the glory days of mining, when you can accumulate a lot of cheap Litecoins, and we will probably be in this phase for another year if history continues to repeat itself before the next cycle starts.

Stop looking at what litecoin is worth vs fiat, and start looking at how much extra coin you are now mining off the same equipment. The only thing that matters is how many Litecoins you have, not how much they are worth today.

Replied to your PM/email.

hmm thats weird, this is what your seeing when your navigating to the Apollo IP address on a web browser?

Have you tried accessing it through a difference device (smartphone browsers, another computer etc). Could be a local machine issue, but if its causing it on all of them then sounds like a corrupted SD card (just follow the instructions on first post to re-image your card).

There were about a dozen stragglers left in the last pre-order shipment last week...yours was probably one of them (we ran out of SD cards  ). Those should be in carrier hands by now.

Not many under 1k...those will hopefully be collectors items in 20 years when crypto has taken over the world

What were you running on the breaker that a fan speedup would trip it? Anyway sounds like the power outage caused your SD card to get corrupted, just follow the support thread linked on the main post of this thread on how to re-image your card.

FYI Happy to announce that all pre-orders have finally shipped out! I know we have had many requests for when we will have stock, just check the site in coming days we will be listing in stock units for sale soon (you can also sign up to our newsletter on the front-page of shop.futurebit.io).

Thanks to all you guys who pre-ordered once again, (especially for your patience while we worked through multiple delays!).

Please direct these questions to support thread in the future. Yes the API has some incorrect stats, we only use bits of bfgminer to run the miner, but since its a standalone unit we never fleshed out full support for bfgminer API, as this would have required way more work than needed for what we build out on the UI side.

If Aswsome miner wants to implement support, all they have to do is calculate the hash rate from work utility and difficulty (he should know how to do this but if he needs the formula just tell him to PM me.)

FutureBit.local is really only for people running one machine (the vast majority). If your running multiple just scan your network and write a list of IP addresses associated with each miner. That is way easier.

Nice setup and thanks for the kind words! You wattage seems a bit high though, are you sure your not running them on balanced? You should be closer to 450 watts in eco with 4.

Thanks!

FYI the power supply CAN run it in turbo, but due to regulatory requirements for the connector we used, we were forced to put that sticker on there. We have tested in in turbo, you just have to be careful and make sure you feel the power cable housing after running it in turbo for an hour or so...in some cases if the pin contacts are not secure the cable can heat up a lot, it should never feel more than warm to the touch.
