As most of you know by now we are finally launching our BTC version. Pre-order starts friday and thread has been started here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5314398
All the info is on our site as well at futurebit.io
To some of the comments from newer users on here that we abandoning LTC thats pure BS. I started off with the LTC community and you guys I think are the best group of people in all of crypto. We still have some cool updates scheduled for the Apollo LTC and will always support it, and have another product in dev for LTC as well.
As for the Apollo BTC that has always been a goal, and is a good thing. We have a great opportunity with an awesome ASIC partner that cares about our vision and is not charging us $10 and ASIC which is the current going rate (this product would be 1000USD + if we partnered with anyone else). We hope the larger BTC market will be able to drive even more sales so we can hire more devs to do the cool work we want to get done faster.
So yea were here to stay and always have. Im not here to chase the next coin for some profits (FutureBit has operated as a non-profit for the past 3 years and have made just enough to pay my rent and my team). Bitcoin has always been part of the plan, and Litecoin and Bitcoin have always had a symbiotic relationship (even if some Bitcoiners refuse to acknowledge that). Our success in the Bitcoin market will only drive even more innovation for LTC in the hardware space from Futurebit.
If you'd rather support some chinese company that does nothing but feed farms all day that dump BTC and LTC for USD be my guest.

Really appreciate what you do. We all need to look at the long game. If we are to protect the future of crypto, we have to make sure it stays decentralized. The way you make it easy for everyone to mine with and appliance type approach, is the way of the future. We need to get miners in the hands of everyone. Let’s hope the Reddit crowd picks this up as well.
