Hello, i'm a newbie and thinking to buy an Apollo.
I juste have 2 questions :
- what is the interest to run a full node ?
- what benefit i can expected / month with this Apollo
Many thanks.
Short answer; dont bother.
Long answer; one of the most popular and trustworthy pools for LTC here:
https://www.litecoinpool.org/calcIf you even pay for electricity as low as .10 (USD), there will be loss.
Due to obvious reasons (google it!), the number of LTC miners are decreasing by day - first little guys / penny makers not wasting time / money and now big boys too. Sure the network difficulty decreases ... but the problem is LTC price also keeps going down affecting those who pay for power!
Hope, above answered your 2nd question!
As for your 1st question, absolutely nothing except helping network to become more secure thus helping the giant miners make more $$ - until LTCs done - forever!
NOTE: as an owner of 1 batch 2 and about 8 or something Moonlander 2, I packed them all up and somewhere in the basement until I figure out what to do with them!! Also, above are my own thoughts based on extensive research on LTC / its founders activities.
However, perhaps some other experts on this fine board could share some behind the scene info not available anywhere else.
P.S If you are really interested to get in to this mining business (sort of making a few extra dollars and education), I recommend GPU mining. Check out whattomine.com for detailed info.
