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.

If you even pay for electricity as low as .10 (USD), there will be loss.

Mining crypto and securing the network is never a loss, and thats even more true unless you somehow lose the coins you mined.

The only time you "lose" is if you are selling crypto for fiat, in which case you dont belong here and you should be making fiat some other way.

The reason I built sub 200 watt machines are so people never have to worry about how much fiat that are using to run one 24/7, because a cup of coffee a month almost anyone can afford, but the upside to what they are mining in crypto is almost limitless.

The answer I give most people when they bring up "but your mining at a fiat loss so why would you mine at all" is to go back to the beginning and realize why people were mining bitcoin when it was literally "worthless" against fiat.

The only real answer to this question is that right now you can mine the most crypto from any given hardware in recent litecoin history. It is without the doubt the best moment to be mining, and people in a few years would kill to be able to mine .2 litecoin a month, just like people wish they could mine anything close to .2 bitcoin a month today on a small peice of hardware running on your desk Wink

On a different note, where are all the Apollo Full Node holdouts??? Were ~10 nodes away from being the #3 most popular node on the Litecoin network....grab a spare USB drive and fire up those nodes we should be in the hundreds by now!
