Hi, I have 4 Apollo heavily undervolted and undercloked. They are running now at 507 MHz, 341 MHs and 295 w. consuption with Titanium PSU (efficiency 0,8634 w/MHs). CUSTOM mode. Maybe you want to try this  PD: Nice review and photos. not really worried about the power consumption on my end. rather have more speed but any more than eco mode and my wife will make me move it out of the house and into the mining building lol and the whole point was to have it on my desk. I will have a GekkoScience Terminus R606 on the other corner of my desk. Two truly indoor/in house/in room miners. |

4 days in now, no issues still holding at a steady 101.5 to 104 Mh/s - though I do tend to remote into the network and kick it up to turbo when nobody is at home  |

I would love to be in a place that I could run a mine.
Running a mine is not,that easy.
I want one in my backyard on this 1.5 acres lot next to my house lol and I would have to agree that it is not easy but I have never done so and yet I still want to The one in Clifton is too far it is 130 mile round trip. We have around 70-75 pieces burning about 100kwatts. We are short 40 kwatts in gear. = a problem but gear is too $$ We could go to 300-400 kwatts this would be really a lot of work. Even with all Inno t2 t30 gear that pulls 2500 watts 100 units would be 250 plus 100 or 350 kwatt so we would need 120 of them. Plus the 75 pieces we have or 190-200 units. Ever since we got to the 500th level we have averaged 10% in down gear. Mostly due to the long ride back and forth. We wait awhile before we get gear back up. We finally got second internet. So Verizon and optimum. And Four quality Cisco 48 port switches are in place. Three to Verizon 1 to optimum. Organize gear is a must. You need static settings once you get to 50 plus it is easier to find down gear. yes, and that is why I want mine on the lot next door - very little travel time. I am not having much luck getting it going but I dont plan on giving up |

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.)

I apologize, I did not know there was one. I will do so in the future - and thanks, I will let him know.

Can you please send me the API report via mail or PM for this miner (toolbar: Tools -> API Report)? With this information I can review what the miner is reporting and maybe adjust Awesome Miner a bit based on this.
Most likely this miner is reporting "FPGA" as device type.
sent via pm Thanks for sharing the report. This miner is reporting a hashrate of ~2.4MH/s, which of course is incorrect given that it's actually working at a speed of >100MH/s. I wasn't able to find any details reported by the miner that would make it possible for Awesome Miner to display the true hashrate. I think it's some kind of bug in the firmware for this miner where it reports incorrect hashrate. ok I will try and share it back with Futurebit and see what they say. @jstefanop - can you see above? I am trying to monitor the Apollo using AM but the API log does not report the correct speed. I can see on the Apollo UI that the speed matches what the pool reports but its not being reflected in the api data. Please direct these questions to support thread in the future.

I'm not sure I understand why you guys are recommending ASICs over GPUs if efficiency isn't a factor (free electricity)?
GPU rigs at the same price will make just as much and will arguably be profitable and retain value for a much longer timeframe.
are you sure? i see people trying to sell gpu rigs for 2-3k that make less than $5 per day. I wont argue that they can retain their value longer and they are more versatile when it comes to switching coins but for overall profit I havent seen a single gpu rig that can make roi as fast or faster than an ASIC By the time you get said ASIC, the profitability figure you see on the comparison sites is usually already cut in half. Getting some cheaper ones on eBay is always possible but don't fool yourself: these aren't making good money at all, and are only another way to take a punt at rising coin prices... which also works for GPUs. i am running 12 gpu's and 20 ASIC's -- now I know I have considerably more hash rate on the ASIC's the GPU rigs were more expensive but they do use less power but they also make me way less per month than the ASIC's after electric cost. The only advantage I see to using gpu's is their versatility - something ASIC's have very little of. Can only switch coins if its on the same algo and if they do a hard fork that ASIC becomes a huge paperweight. in the end though - if the electricity is free, anything will make him money - it becomes a point of which will make ROI first then. |

We had three winners so far.
I will be doing the fourth drawing soon.
Anyone that purchased a R606 can join for free.
My R606 and my three newpacks are working well on a test of BCH mining.
add me to the list Phil - I just purchased an R606 from MineFarmBuy - was going to get from 419mining on Amazon but I used all my Amazon gift cards on other minor things. and of course I paid using BTC and then as usual when I spend BTC, it goes up in value lol its gone up by $20 in value since I paid lol. edit: make that its increased by $57 since I paid lol  |

my offer of 250 for all the miner shipped or 350 for miners and psu's shipped still stands as well.

after just over a day, hash rate is holding steady and still damn quiet on eco mode

Title kind of says it all. It's mining now for a customer who is asking me to sell it.
I can get you pictures if you want. I am just out of the office at the moment and he reminded me that I was supposed to do this for him on the 1st. Oops.
$300 gets the unit in a box shipped to you.
If you have any questions ask.
Thanks,
Dave
using escrow? and are you providing the controller as well? 1) Escrow if you want it you pay. 2) No controller or power brick it's running off his server. I'm doing this as a favor for a customer so I'm limited as to what I can give you. It's not like it's coming out of my farm. -Dave understood and thank you for the quick reply. |

if the electricity is free - then pop in a few asic's and you will make ROI easily
if you have to pay for the electricity - then it really depends at what rate you are charged for said electricity.
Thanks - any suggestions of a good ASIC to start with? depends on what your budget is - you can get Bitmain's S9's for a few hundred bucks easy - and with free electricity and depending on which S9 you get (they can have speeds from 13 Th/s up to 16 Th/s) you can make about $100 per month for each S9 --- make your ROI on the miner in 2-3 months but as you have the place for at least a year, you will make your money back easily. get 5 of them and make $500 a month - well, it does change based on BTC value and difficulty, both change constantly - and the rewards will half around May 2020 as well, but if BTC value goes up the halving will not hurt as much. |

@patrike - AM picked up my FutureBit Apollo miner with ease but its reporting the hash wrong - per pool and gui I am hashing right at 105 mh/s in eco mode - AM shows the miner at 2.74 mh/s
my guess is that it is not picking up all the chips?
note: it is identifying it as a FPGA miner not as an ASIC
