Looks like we did a minor screw-up and should have collected phone numbers for everyone at checkout since we are shipping out mostly fedex. If your order number is between 1190-1240 please reply to your order confirmation email with your phone number so we can update and send these out ASAP.

Ill shoot everyone an email reminder as well.

any european buyers here? i'm wondering how much import taxes will we have to pay

it is different in every country. Just check the website of your IRS, Douane, Postage website

in the Netherlands, if Customs office picks out your package (if valued over 25 euro), 21 % tax + 1 to 3% import tax + handling fee (differs per post-courier-company that picks up the package for futher transport).

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 Cheesy

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?  Shocked

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 Cheesy

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).
