Why did people mention mining DOGE here?

yes, buy one! wrks gr8 mining DOGE, LTC ... etc   

This look interesting... Anyone know how many dogecoins you can mine  with this unit currently per day?  Can you mine for just dogecoins with it...  Any insight helpful.  Any news when next batch is ready to deploy?

Doge's algorithm is Scrypt. Apollo BTC's mine Sha256.

How about DOGE mining with Apollo BTC?

Thank you very much for the quick reply

it can be a node - but doesnt have to be one. it is a scrypt miner so you should be able to mine any cryptocurrency that is mineable on the scrypt algo.

hi guys sorry for the question, but with this miner you can also mine other altcoins besides LTC?
I ask because I have not found answers on the net, and reading the setup guide I read that "The drive will need to be pre-loaded with a recent copy of a Litecoin Full Node chainstate and blocks folder placed inside the" Litecoin "folder on your drive "and this made me doubt ... moreover it is a few years that I gave up mining but since it had gone very well (at the time the BTc were worth about $ 300) I would like to resume a little (the last time I used the antminers s3, it's been a while ...)

No you cant, additional pools are there for backup pools (ie one pool goes down, it will default to your backup pool so it never stops mining).

Hello everyone,

Reaching out here for help. I apologize in advance if this has already been answered, but in all my searching I could not find an answer or instructions or directions addressing this question.
I was wondering if the Apollo LTC miner can mine two or more different pools at the same time?  I tried to configure my pools so that one pool is litecoinpool.org (LTC) and the other pool aikapool.com (Dogecoin), and the miner seemed to try to split the hash power evenly between the two, but only accepted shares from one pool.   Does the miner have the ability to mine 2 different scrypt pools at the same time?   Side note - I do know that litecoinpool.org is merged with Dogecoin already, I am more or less teaching myself about altcoins and crypto as I go and this is my latest project - to mine Dogecoin directly.

Can the Apollo LTC miner can mine two/multiple different scrypt pools at the same time?
stratum+tcp://us2.litecoinpool.org:3333     <--- Active, but No shares accepted, showing hashrate of about 60mhs
stratum+tcp://stratum.aikapool.com:7915   <--- Active and accepting shares, showing hashrate of about 60mhs
stratum+tcp://us.litecoinpool.org:3333  <-- Failover Pool - Inactive

Any help would be appreciated and again I apologize if this has already been answered or provided somewhere else. I searched and could not find anything.

Thanks for your help and knowledge!

AS long as the coin is scrypt, yes no problem. I did it in the past.

Just curious, would it be possible to make a version with a built-in power supply? Seems like that would make it even more user-friendly but obviously I don't know anything about manufacturing consumer electronics.

Anyone here use these for solo mining other alt coins?  I searched back but didn't seem to find much regarding this.  Most posts are about pools and LTC pools.

Interested for a few smaller coin projects

Thanks!

any shop URL for germany?

I ordered direct to the UK came no problem, did get hit with import tax though.

https://www.bitshopper.de/ has been out for a while you might want to contact futurebit direct and see if they have anyone else.
I know I have seen them on eBay now and then too.


If for whatever reason you can't find on in the EU I have one for sale [ https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sold-futurebit-apollo-pod-miner-200-shipped-us-5276019 ] but it's US only shipping.
I can ship to someone here (usually minerjones https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/minerjones-346731 ) who can then ship to you.

hi all,

where can i buy this amazing piece of miner in europe or germany ?

Si al final consigues tus Apollos, intenta montar un nodo de LTC en uno de ellos (en uno basta, no te lies a montar dos nodos con ala misma IP, es poco útil).
If you finally got your Apollos, please try to run a full LTC node on one of them (one is enough, two nodes with same IP it is a mess, and not very useful).

English please 

en que pais estas
