Just wanted to confirm that this Apollo ASIC is able to mine any Scrypt-based coin including Digibyte-Scrypt?

I just placed my order. I am excited to see this hardware Smiley However, discount option has not been greatly coordinated. I am USB moonlander user, none of the shops I purchased from have told me anything about discount available. And If I would ask them it could take days to get my discount coupon from them. By that time, preorder sales could have been closed. That's why i decided to buy it now.

Please PM me for order issues instead of cluttering up thread with order issues (this should also be in the order thread not here).

I was psyched to see this announcement, but I had been hoping for the PayPal option you normally have on your website. However, I can understand why it is not an option with it being a pre-order and all.

Yea Paypal unfortunately has a two week policy for shipping out pre-orders, so unfortunately crypto is the only way to handle pre-orders. Either way id rather do ALL commerce with crypto since this is what were all here for Wink

Its pretty easy to open a coinbase account and get some crypto these days.

Are these going to be another pumper item/scalped?

Its hard for me to rationalize why these would be usable other than the fact they are 1/5th a L3+. So if you cant manage a L3+ at 800-900 watts for $170-250 with PSU(ebay), you can manage a Apollo for $270 with no PSU and 140MH? at 150-200 watts?

The key to the argument would be how well the Apollo overclocks and electric use there after. If you can get like 180-200MH out of them at like 1MH a Watt power usage then it DOES make sense to me. cause then you could undercut the power usage of a L3+

Whats the Max you can push these is the question?

Im taking control of orders for batch one, and limiting the number that can be ordered per person. No one will have large numbers they can try and resell at a much higher cost. Obviously can't control what people do that buys these but everyone has an equal chance to pick these up at the pre-order price.

If your comparing these with an L3 its the wrong comparison. These are not made for people that can run an L3. If you have under 8 cent power and can run L3s in your home/mine or whatever then obviously go for them.

Now if you have never mined with an ASIC miner before (other than USB miners), or can only put this in your house/apartment/office and have more than 10cent power these make perfect sense in ECO mode, since 100MH at 100 watts is still profitable with higher power costs, and beats an L3 in efficiency by 60%

Who pay 274 USD for 100-140 MH/s SCRYPT ?

We will pay 274 USD + shipping + PSU.
We will earn 0,61 USD daily and we will pay for power. Uh, huh....

 Roll Eyes

449 days ROI without shipping + PSU + power.

The CMB Blog article stated that this thing is WIFI enabled.
WIFI is a REAL BAD idea and people need to start getting wise to this.
The so called 5G is a million times worse and all this microwave exposure is essentially wave poison which must be stopped or else horrible consequences are going to follow.
The Human body is not meant to be microwaved.

Looks like a perfect little box to accumulate digibyte. How loud are they? I could probably plug this in at work and no one would care.

You have my attention.
And my BTC.  Grin

I do hope the Apollo has the same satisfying blinkenlights!
Have loved everything about the Moonlander 2 light show I’ve assembled.

Of course, but I don't think anything will be as satisfying as multiple Moonlanders hashing together Wink
