I think people would feel comfortable trying it out and it could only be a good thing for customers which is a good thing for FutureBit right?
I had a random theory the other day; we shall remember that they don't use their own chips and it's not an open source project either, unlike most projects we're used to around here. We're used to getting concise clear answers on all of our questions, but when you're working with big companies and NDAs, stuff gets tricky. It's possible that e.g. they have a license for the chip, but not for 'the asicboost', or something like that. Or maybe they got a spec of the chip (under NDA) that doesn't include everything (like asicboost information / how to use or activate it).
Just a theory
But it seems to me that we don't achieve anything by pressing further on this. Who knows; maybe the community will release a patch that adds the two bytes which change the string output format..
We shall see
Lol nice theory, unfortunately its not true. If these chips had asicboost capable cores I would have enabled that myself even if we didn't have a "license" for it. For those that have followed me since the early days you know I started futurebit because I was able to substantially increase the hashrate and efficiency of old scrypt chips since the manufacturers themselves had no idea on how to properly implement what the ASIC was capable of.
Im definitely not one to leave any extra performance on the table for you guys. FYI we have full access to the source code and are pretty involved in ASIC development in all the products we build.
Hi everyone. On October 5th I sent an email to Futurebit support asking when new Apollo BTC firmware releases would be released, including being able to insert more than one pool and have the ability to solo mininig on the Apollo node. I was told that new features would come out but since then I have seen everything stopped. I sent another email on December 1st but they didn't answer me. I see everything very still, do any of you know something? Thank you
Updated miners for the basic units has already been released, we are in final testing for the update to the Full Package system...check your dashboards in the coming days for that yellow update button.
Hi. I had been connected by ethernet. I went to connect to wifi. The wifi password kept coming back as invalid (although I know 100# it was entered correctly). Now I am unable to connect to the dashboard any more. I al also no longer connected to the pool. When I try to connect to the IP address of the miner, I receive a message that I am unable to connect. I powered the miner down, the ethernet cable is still connected, but no luck logging back on. Any suggestions?
Could be that the wifi actually connected, try removing the ethernet cable and see if you see a new IP address (after reboot). You can also connect to it via a monitor and keyboard/mouse so you can easily see what's going on with its network connection.
