Well it would not be a proper futurebit launch without a post on here!
Cant believe how much has changed in this space over the course of just 5 years, when we launched the Apollo BTC. I would have never thought our efforts would have ignited a whole ecosystem (I did secretly hope at the time), but what we have been building is slowly step by step coming into reality.
FutureBit found the first modern sovereign block in 2024, and now there is a whole ecosystem of diffrent node and solo mining products with solo block being found at a monthly pace.
Happy to announce the Apollo III is a continuation of this trend, and continues to pioneer the space we brought into the mainstream.
The Apollo III is another round of many firsts for futurebit.
This is the first time we are using a 3nm digital ASIC (switched from the Analog ASICs we were using in the BTC/II, big learning curve but worth it for the way larger dynamic range of operation).
Best part is the first AMERICAN ASIC being integrated into an AMERICAN made miner. Super proud of the team for this and what we have accomplished over the 5 years of brining almost our entire supply chain domestic.
We will finally have enough ASIC supply to really ramp up the Apollo III (we were always ASIC constrained with the Apollo II and could never ramped up to its full potential)
Another first is another major component has been brought directly under our control with our revamped high performance controller.
This same controller debuted in the Solo Node a few months ago, and super proud of what we have achieved with it.
With its 8 ARM cores, and 8GB of ram, it im pretty sure has the record for fastest low power ARM board sync in under 36 ours.
Our Solo mode and stratum solo server has been refined over the years and can now handle 100s of peta hash of hashrate with this tiny compute module.
And of course the miner itself, what we call Hash Core 3, our third generation miner.
It can put out 18TH in a tiny package (crazy to think this 5x5 inch cube can do more has power than an S9 at a fraction of the power)
And can be detuned down to about 12-13 W/TH in super low power mode (under 100 watts) thanks to the digital ASICs (we could never really go below 200 watts on the Apollo II due to the analog asics)
I think we really refined this product down to what it has always meant to be with the Apollo III...really excited for you guys to check it out.
As always check out the site at
www.futurebit.io for more info. Pre-orders start next week, but production is already underway. We are waiting for fans and thermal system that is made overseas and hope to have those by end of march and start shipping in April!
Thank you for all the support over the years, the founders members, all our customers. I know who you all are on here and it wont be forgotten.
