Topic: Official FutureBit Apollo LTC Image and Support thread - page 6. (Read 49873 times)

Repeatedly tried to purchase a couple of BTC preorder devices from Futurebit with LTC but I keep getting the same error message. This is the first time sending LTC so I have no pending transactions. Tried using different browsers on the Futurebit side - no difference. Error code: TX-018. Tried searching the web for possible solutions but nothing. Anyone experience this error?

Mac version of JAXX - latest. Also tried on iPhone with latest JAXX.

UPDATE: Even tried to send LTC funds to an EXODUS wallet - same error.
UPDATE 2: Deleted JAXX off desktop, reinstalled - same error.

There is no way to reset the password without reseting the firmware. You dont need a new SD card, just follow the instructions on the first page here to reflash your existing SD card.

I’m in the same situation. Is there a way to reset the password? I am not able to login to access the control panel/dashboard to change anything. Would a new sd card offer an opportunity for reset?

Trying to figure out the fab situation...almost all the fabs are booked so wouldn't be able to order a new set of ASICs for these until at least summer unfortunately.

Are you doing any more batches this year?

Ordered one full package without power supply and 3 standard units.  Happy to support the company and looking forward to daisy chaining 4 units together. 

Yep mine has hit several DGB blocks and even an LTC block while mining solo. Needless to say I'm very happy and already pre-ordered the BTC miner.

The fact that you can actually run it in your home is just awesome.

I am buying the full package I still have my 2 apollo ltc miners and I will now have 1 apollo btc miner.

Maybe it's you who should try re-reading...

Of course, BTC LTC and ETH, plus a bunch others coinbase commerce accepts. You won't see the crypto checkout option until after you select shipping.

You guys need to spread the word! We dont pay for advertising, as increaseing the price of the product 20-30% does not make much sense to me to push it to people that dont even want it. Nor will I pay the crooks at coindesk to write an "article". Sadly only price headlines and new coin launches sell, not the hardware and software the runs these systems.

If we dont sell out might launch a referral system, even though that is itself a bit gimmicky for me at least all the early adopters that use the product and understand it can make a bit on referrals.

Do you take LTC as payment?

Really appreciate what you do. We all need to look at the long game. If we are to protect the future of crypto, we have to make sure it stays decentralized. The way you make it easy for everyone to mine with and appliance type approach, is the way of the future. We need to get miners in the hands of everyone. Let’s hope the Reddit crowd picks this up as well.

As most of you know by now we are finally launching our BTC version. Pre-order starts friday and thread has been started here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/announcing-the-futurebit-apollo-btc-a-full-nodemining-platform-for-the-home-5314398

All the info is on our site as well at futurebit.io


To some of the comments from newer users on here that we abandoning LTC thats pure BS. I started off with the LTC community and you guys I think are the best group of people in all of crypto. We still have some cool updates scheduled for the Apollo LTC and will always support it, and have another product in dev for LTC as well.

As for the Apollo BTC that has always been a goal, and is a good thing. We have a great opportunity with an awesome ASIC partner that cares about our vision and is not charging us $10 and ASIC which is the current going rate (this product would be 1000USD + if we partnered with anyone else). We hope the larger BTC market will be able to drive even more sales so we can hire more devs to do the cool work we want to get done faster.

So yea were here to stay and always have. Im not here to chase the next coin for some profits (FutureBit has operated as a non-profit for the past 3 years and have made just enough to pay my rent and my team). Bitcoin has always been part of the plan, and Litecoin and Bitcoin have always had a symbiotic relationship (even if some Bitcoiners refuse to acknowledge that). Our success in the Bitcoin market will only drive even more innovation for LTC in the hardware space from Futurebit.

If you'd rather support some chinese company that does nothing but feed farms all day that dump BTC and LTC for USD be my guest.

Im not on here every day, we have email support and thats the best way to get quick responses. Shoot an email to hello at futurebit dot io and im sure well get you back up and running.

Well, as long as they are up with blinky leds, his units make a solid job.

Fun part begins once you've got problems and re-flashing your SD won't fix it anymore.

Honestly? I am really pissed. And nope, it's not about ROI because that's not what folks using futurebit devices are after I'd say.

It's about the couldn't care less mentality of a US based one man show, I thought it's worth backing.

My Apollo batch 2 with original PSU and SD card is now for sale! Drop me a PM it you're interested. You can read above about the problems this unit shows.

Yes, thanks to jstephanop seconded. I have had moonlanders and Apollos, they ran smoothly as advertised. I didn't make much from them (probably ROIed tho) but that's down to me. The new BTC version looks fun, and yeah, a 2-ish yr ROI at current diff/price is...what it is. I might buy one anyway just for fun.

I agree with Phil on that one - mine has hit several doge blocks but never a ltc block but it has hit dgb blocks, xvg blocks, pyrk blocks and a myriad of other alt coin blocks.

I only dont like the price for a full unit and will prolly just go with the miner without the controller and run it on the same pi my R606's run on.

I have always supported the op and builder of the ltc miner I still have two of them.

And since I hit a pair of blocks of doge about 20,000 doge. I decided to hodl doge.

On Jan 1  2021 I had 1,000,000 doge. mostly because of these two little miners purchased years ago.

I purchased 10gh of l3+ miners and the op gave free firmware that lowers the watts used on L3+ gear saving me a lot of watts since 2018.

of the 1,000,000 doge i had this jan 1 i sold 300000 at 5100 and I sold 450000 at 18000

a grand total of 23000 usd.

I mined about 260000 doge with his gear and the L3+

I converted some of the ltc that the l3+ mined. to get that 1,000,000 doge.

So 23,000 usd and still 250,000 doge coins in hand all sparked by his moonlander then his apollo.

So to say his Btc miner won’t do well is kind of short sighted.

at jstefanop  thank you 🙏

i know you meant BTC and so did I - the specs on the BTC miner - on turbo - will earn about 55 cents a day --- at current diff and price.
