Dont we need much more storage than the recommended microSD card to fit a full node?
MicroSD is capable of at least 512 GB, and potentially up to 2TB in the spec.
Should be plenty to handle a full node for a buncha years.

Do you have any more details on the ASIC?
How many scrypt cores are on there?
Does each one use 128KB SRAM?
Is it 14 or 28nm or something else?
Did you design it yourself?

Its 22nm and has 280 cores each ASIC.
We beat innosilicon's 14nm chip at 22nm so should be interesting when we can get this chip down to 10-14nm
That is awesome! I hope that you got a patent on the design. What was the size of the moonlander 2 chip?

Wow, so is it a custom made ASIC chip?

Can't wait to get it running with the difficulty the way it is. Any updates?!
I plan on not only having this be a miner, but every miner being a node+wallet+LN node and being a truly powerful crypto platform that sits on your desk!
Dont we need much more storage than the recommended microSD card to fit a full node?
What are the benefits of running a node vs mining? Thanks. Waiting for shipping info.
A node allows you to have a core wallet.
I run a:
btc node
bci node
rvn node
I have core wallets for all 3 coins.
more nodes help network to have more security

Yes, once we integrate a full node functionality you'll need a 32GB SD card (20GB Litecoin blockchain size currently), but we will be offering just a miner image and a separate full node image and people can chose whatever they want to run. Our controller also has a USB port so you could connect USB hard drives and flash drives theoretically, but need to look into that.
Obviously it would be super cool if everyone with an apollo ran a full node, since we would have more Futurebit apollo nodes up than the entire network currently
I assume you can mine any SCRYPT algo coin with the Apollo. Running a Litecoin (full) Node will be available soon/near future but you can run any software you install yourself on the SD? OS is Linux (based)? which version/build?
Yes any stratum scrypt pool. Its running ubuntu armbian...sure you can install whatever you want on it, but then you risk breaking the install and all the custom code we run to keep the miner from burning up so thats all at your descretion (obviously you can reflash the SD card if you REALLY fuck something up).

I was concerned about the cost of this and the recent falling price of Litecoin but read this from yesterday (MarketWatch link provided):
"Another cryptocurrency named Litecoin is expected to again traction in the near future."
Like all investments there are cycles of high/low, so hanging in there.

Worthless report, way too much indication they did NOT actually study anything.
This one phrase is enough to indicate how WORTHLESS this "report" is.
"Currently, some of the prominent players operating in the global cryptocurrency market are BitFury Group Limited, Microsoft Corporation, Alphapoint Corporation, NVIDIA Corporation, and Intel Corporation."
They left out Bitmain and AMD (both of which make a LOT more from cryptocurrency than Nvidia does).
Microsoft has almost NO presence in Cryptocoin at this time.
Never heard OF Alphapoint but they're definitely NOT a "prominent player".
Intel has ZERO presence in cryptocoin other than indirect as a fairly common choice for CPUs to put on motherboards for GPU rigs.
Agreed. I think this kind of BS is not intended for human consumption and is more intended to create awareness from ai bots and is algorithm fodder. Possibly produced by the least heard of company in the list to create some artificial attention. LOL
If the rest of their "research" is as shoddy at THAT statement, their report is 100% worthless.
