(BTW nothing much has changed between Batch 1 to 2 other than a slight case redesign to ease production/assembly and MCU having more RAM)
I think you mentioned before we may need more RAM to run a full node (future) will we be able to upgrade the RAM in our Apollos?

Yes we are still trying to optimize a full node to work with 256 MB of ram in Batch 1, but if we cant we will offer an MCU swap to the 512MB version for all Batch 1 buyers who want full node functionality.

What is the efficiency rating of the FutureBit PSU available with Batch 2? Can it run the miner on Balanced and Turbo modes without overheating? Also, does the FutureBit PSU have a power switch to turn the miner on/off?

Efficiency is 93%. Yes it can run one in Turbo mode, but not past that (ie if you do custom settings past 200 watts that Turbo consumes). Yes it has a power switch.

Right that code is only if you pay with coinbase checkout. Don’t use that code for fiat payments otherwise your order will be canceled and refunded.

I didn't see what chip this is using but I'm assuming the BM1485?
No it uses a way newer chip than what's in L3s (hence why its more efficient), and wouldn't fund Bitmain regardless of the chips they have in the first place

works great on litecoinpool, most other pools I've tried like zerg and zpool eventually start running at 20% errors or higher. zpool was fine for around a week then it just went nuts 45% errors and the dashboard saying 400 miners
no idea why the errors started.

Make sure you disable donation pool if your mining on any other chain than Litecoin...currently donation pool is tied with Litecoin mining which causes issues with the software when you start mining on other chains. This will be separated in a future update so the donation pool does not interfere with any user pools.

Thanks, re-imaged my card and it's working great, when batch 2 is available in Europe I'll be picking up another one

Things going much smoother this time around so pretty sure we can start shipping end of June as promised. Only bottleneck this time around are the new enclosures which are getting sourced from a different supplier...worst case would be shipping into the beginning of July.

Only bottleneck this time around are the new enclosures which are getting sourced from a different supplier...worst case would be shipping into the beginning of July. are you shipping to Europe or best to wait until bitshopper.de has them? Yes shipping worldwide via fedex. We have really good fedex rates so most express shipments worldwide are between 30-50 USD for most people. Comes down to your local situation on whether shipping+taxes are going to be higher for you from buying direct through me or paying a premium through bitshopper...he sells them at least 20-30% higher to cover import costs + his margins so its a case by case basis.

Does anyone know when the new power supplies are going to ship? I ordered mine a while ago. I know it was a pre-order, but I was just curious if anyone had heard anything
