[ANN] FutureBit Project Apollo: Bringing ASIC Mining Back to the Home Miner!

[aswithin]

Web UI development is "Made in Italy" 

I noticed the UI seems to have a minera flavor; great job all-around!

First please don't post stuff like this in a complete irrelevant thread. This is the general thread for the Apollo.

You can create your own WTB thread in marketplace, or post in the order related thread for the Moonlander 2: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2141261.360

Second if you want to pick one up for 50 Pounds and pay in crypto then just order off my website (shop.futurebit.io). It will cost 50 USD+ ~10 in shipping, which is less than 50UK

First, I dint know this was the wrong place to post such a request. If I had known I wouldn't have posted here. My mistake.
Second, we have already spoken about ordering from your website. I would love to but as I explained to you, UK customs and Excise is a nightmare for these kind of items at the moment. If they don't confiscate it, which they normally do, then it will probably sit there for at least 2 weeks, then they will require about £25 in tax if not more.
Shame the UK dealers didn't buy this product, would have made it so much easier.

Hi

Very good page! It is possible to add GekkoScience NEwpac and 2pac asic keys ? It should be cool!

Regards

So hey, i'm new.

I just bought the Apollo and it looks great. I understand the economics and its a hobby with a possible LT investment aspect. I was going to mine at litecoinpool, but then I saw a few posts on solo mining. I'd be interested to see where the Apollo users are mining.

Thanks.

Its a large mix. Lots of people just mine straight Litecoin on pools to support the network, others mine low diff scrypt coins (which you can collect ALOT of with this device), and rest solo mine on solo pools like ltcdice.

Speaking of solo mining I hit a block on one of my dev Apollos last week

I ordered one yesterday, can’t wait for it to arrive. I’ll probably order 1-2 more. Anyone mining on ViaBTC Solo?

I hit 2 doge blocks on it so far.

(Updated my Apollos to lastest firmware and) also taking a gamble to hit a block at tbdice 

[ClaytonBigsby]

Thank you. Going to roll the dice on tbdice.

This thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1290219.240 is highly critical of TBDice.
I am interested in solo mining - does anyone have any recommendations. I was looking at https://bsod.pw - any thoughts?

I see Bsod does party mining - an apollo party might be cool..

tbdice seems reliable if you are using a L address to mine.
the block reward comes from coinbase so it is true solo mining.

unfortunately if you have any issues there doesnt seem to be a way to contact the site owner.

I only have an M address, do the 3 digit converted addresses work ok?

it says the 3 address work.
when you look up your user it should be like this
3EnUi...6LSen

this is the top one not me..

if you see the full address it wont work.

Sorry for all the questions, this is on nicehash and it seems unhappy. What does Dis mean - disallowed? This is way more HW errors than I was getting on Litecoinpool.
Thanks

Looks fine to me. Dis is disconnects, which is normal for nicehash. This is just the nature of mutipools, they switch around so much that you will not get the "ideal" rates you see on a straight blockchain pool.

solominingen is madness, so I am back at litecoinpool.org
