FutureBit Apollo II is Greater than Only a Bitcoin ASIC Miner for Residence Customers

The brand new FutureBit Apollo II has been formally introduced and it’ll be obtainable in three completely different variations with transport beginning in Q1 subsequent yr (2024) with preorders anticipated to be obtainable from December eighth. We’re not certain find out how to speak about this machine as it’s greater than only a Bitcoin miner designed and made within the USA and focused for dwelling customers… though the Apollo II Commonplace ($799 USD) is actually a cool wanting USB-based Bitcoin ASIC miner able to delivering as much as 10 TH/s hashrate with about 400 Watts of energy utilization and that machine might be plugged in to an older Apollo node or a more moderen Apollo II Full Node or a pc or a RPi thus including new or increasing current hashing energy. The brand new Apollo II Full Node ($1099 USD) because the identify implies features a Full Bitcoin Node and the machine itself is a Miner + Full Node + Linux Desktop System multi function with the mining half primarily the identical because the standalone machine. With the Full Node you additionally get a built-in fashionable ARM primarily based controller with 4GB of RAM and as much as a 2TB of SSD storage that has a pre-installed devoted Apollo OS 1.0, that enables for in-built zero config solo mining on to your node.

We keep in mind first listening to about FutureBit again in 2016 on Bitcointalk the place jstefanop introduced that he’s engaged on a USB-based Scrypt ASIC miner and shortly after that we bought our palms on the FutureBit MoonLander USB Scrypt ASIC Miner to check it. We actually preferred the design and the way the machine labored again then in a while got here the improved FutureBit Moonlander 2, after that the Apollo LTC miner after which the improve equipment to carry it as much as a Full Node and the Apollo BTC miner and Full Node, and now comes the following evolution with improved hashrate and energy effectivity in addition to options. The miners from FutureBit have all the time been for dwelling customers and never for giant mining farms and are designed across the thought of high quality and reliability, silent operation at dwelling and helpful extra options. So don’t count on these to be rivalling the newest technology of ASIC miners designed for giant Bitcoin mining farms, though effectivity sensible the Apollo II does evaluate very effectively effectivity sensible to the present technology of Bitcoin mining ASICs available on the market.
