1  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Announcing the FutureBit Apollo BTC - A Full Node/Mining Platform for the Home! on: June 09, 2021, 01:16:38 PM
Hey guys sorry to everyone that got shipment notifications last week and has had no movement. We had scheduled a pickup last week and another yesterday which Fedex refused to pickup since it would have taken too much space on the truck (even though we made the volume clear both times).

Just rented a truck and dropped off all the backlog of packages this morning, and everyones shipment has been upgraded to 2 day. If your near CA you should get it tomorrow, and everyone else by thurs.

Assembly is going well for rest of orders, we project 75% will be ready to ship by end of the week, and the whole Batch 1 Pre-order will be shipped out by end of next week.




I take it your projection for "the whole batch 1 will be shipped out eonw" was off. The end of next week from your message was June 5. I'm 38xx but I see 36xx and 37xx still waiting.

Now John ... I support your work, dedication and finished products. Your expectation management sure could use some work though.

uh what?

You dont need to "prove" it can hit a block, the proof is in the valid share submission.

Submit enough shares of a certain difficulty over time and you have "proved" your hashrate.

Submit a share higher than the network diff you found a block, simple as that.
truth ... one accepted share is proof it can hit a block case closed

I purchased 10gh of l3+ miners and the op gave free firmware that lowers the watts used on L3+ gear saving me a lot of watts since 2018.
...
at jstefanop  thank you 🙏

not to hijack, but what firmware are your L3+s rocking these days?

i picked up a used L3+ off ebay and just now am able to power it up and test it. The firmware on it is ~2018

....

more on topic, I have seen a lot of folks inquire about replacement fans ... my batch 2 fan was doing fine but seemed to be a bit louder than I remembered after a move.

I went with https://www.newegg.com/p/1YF-014R-000U0?Item=9SIAS45CZW8656 and the Futurebit Apollo LTC has been running cooler and quieter (I did clean it well on the fanswap and that always helps).
High Speed: This model is designed to maximize airflow and can be too loud for some applications. 92 x 92 x 38 mm ( 3.62 x 3.62 x 1.5 in.)
Rated Voltage: 12V
Rated Current: 1A
Airflow: 117 CFM
Power: 12W
Speed: 5800 RPM

It's always nice to have a backup if one croaks.

Cheers
