First all   I'd like to thank you for answering me, I appreciated that.

I understand that you are not "Google" and the company is small and probably there's not a department full of senior engineers working on this thing 24h a day.
We all know that and we can imagine that "all we can get, but the hardware, is a perk".
Yet this is not actually what you declared at the very beginning, or probably the market response to your device could have been more "tepid", wouldn't it?

I accept as answer (and promise..) that you will make a further effort to pursue your goals, within this year, if I have properly understood.

Regarding the open source interface, please accept my apologies I don't know the github link, could you please be so kind to write it here, once again, for me (and us..) ?

I really thank you, if you make us in the position to cooperate with you, probably the software which will come with the next APOLLOs could be better, and probably none of us should be referring at these as "paperweights", ever.

The entire community is willing to move on, let us help you.

Have a nice day
D.

What does it mean "Dead Project" ??

Let me quote the Apollo BTC "Getting Started document"

----------------------------------
The Apollo Full Node runs the latest release binaries from bitcoincore.org, and is automatically configured and setup at the system level. It will start syncing a clean chain state from block 0 on your nvme SSD on first boot, and is capable of downloading a full unpruned node on its 500 GB drive with a 1-2 year buffer. This is the core that will enable us to release additional apps and services in the coming months and years (solo mining, block explorer, Lightning network all planned in the short term), and allow you the user to verify your own transactions and chain state without needing to trust anyone else.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solo  mining, block explorer, Lightning network and such have been promised for a long time, and in ("short term"),   and having the chance to solo mining my own node was one of the features for which I decided to buy an Apollo.

So I can understand the difficulties, delays, all is legit,...but I cannot accept a "dead project", I would like to have answers to this.
It does not satisfy the premises underlying the moral contract between the seller and the customer.

Is there a responsible who can answer, please?

I'm kindly inviting the one who is responsible for this project to give clarification to all of us.

Thank you very much.
D.

Hello everyone,

Is there any news on the release of a new  firmware that allows solo mining?

Thank you

Hello everyone. Since the latest firmware update 0.3.2 my Apollo doesn't behave well. Before it was mining for weeks, now it remains active for three, four days and then I find it blocked, inoperative, with the steady red LED. This is very annoying, does anyone have the same problem and maybe a solution? Thank you.

Hi Jstefanop, thanks for this new release.
 When do you plan to release the solo mining feature on the Apollo? Are you able to give us a forecast?
Thank you.
D.

Hi everyone. On October 5th I sent an email to Futurebit support asking when new Apollo BTC firmware releases would be released, including being able to insert more than one pool and have the ability to solo mininig on the Apollo node. I was told that new features would come out but since then I have seen everything stopped. I sent another email on December 1st but they didn't answer me. I see everything very still, do any of you know something? Thank you
