I'm happy to announce that Polli is happily hashing without the microphone on the Orange Pi 4 !  I'd honestly be concerned if it needed a microphone for mining..  Thanks for reporting your experimental results, though! |

Does anyone know if the Orange Pi 4 would complain in some way or other if it was freed of the microphone?
Polli has taken one for the team... I'll let you know if I find that something is not working any longer.  I'm happy to announce that Polli is happily hashing without the microphone on the Orange Pi 4 ! Dang, why would you deny me all those conversations we are recording?! |

Dang, why would you deny me all those conversations we are recording?! You'll have to go back to watching youtube now, I guess But seriously, I don't trust any computer made in China. And with the software vulnerabilities due to lacking ability to do updates, maybe some hacker could gain access to the microphone. That would potentially be a high value attack. |

Yep, keen as to see more details on this! Will drop the info here and email subscribers first....really excited for this one feels like 8 years of work finally manifesting into the device I always dreamed of making! FYI have lots of DMs about current Apollo Gen 1 owners and recent buyers...dont worry all Apollo Gen 1 owners will get significant discounts (we always sell our first Batch pre-orders at cost to current customers), and you'll be able to plug the upgrade directly to the current unit (controller and software updates will be the same for Gen1/2). Oh and here is another teaser just for you guys  This is why we haven't pushed all the software updates I wanted to get out last year....we decided halfway through the process that the Apollo UI (now 5 years old) is way outdated for the upgrades we were building and decided to scrap the whole project and rewrite from scratch. It will take longer but the upgrade will be worth it! |

It will take longer but the upgrade will be worth it! That looks tasty! When you say you'll be able to plug the upgrade directly into the current unit, does that mean we can remove the current mining ASIC's from the gen 1 and swap in the gen 2 hardware or it will be a add on device connected via USB like the Apollos without a controller? Either way, very very much looking forward to the updates both hardware and software (and can I spy a native dark mode in the top right as well?!?) |

I asked Santa but apparently I have been naughty! |

To me it sounds like a gen2 standard unit can be plugged (through USB) into a gen1 controller / full unit. But I personally hope that it is possible to swap out just the hashboard and keep the housing, controller, fan, everything, from the gen1. This would also allow people to maybe build their own housing and cooling solution. E.g. you could get 4 or 5 hashboards, hook up waterblocks and make a custom device like that, which fits your own needs. |

That's what I'd love too, first it would help keep costs down for existing owners and second it keeps the longevity of the product. Let's all wait patiently for news |

This is great news. By the way, I remember you posted a long time ago that if the sales of the Apollo went well you would consider open sourcing the miner software. Is there any possibility of having an open source version of the Apollo miner?, maybe using cgminer? |
