Re: Official FutureBit Apollo BTC Software/Image and Support thread
Is there a reason why these miners don't have asicboost enabled?
That's pretty much the same as throwing away 10% of your hash rate you'd get for the same power.

Because its not implemented in the ASIC obviously.
It turns out these miners can do asicboost.
You need to add the option "-roll_version"
However, the miner code has a bug in it that sends incorrect version data regularly so you lose lotsa shares.
I've put a hack into my pool to correct the bad data so you don't lose the shares/blocks
So solo mining on my pool with an apollo can use asicboost with the "-roll_version" option.
There is no bug, the miner supports version rolling for new ASICs but its not implemented in the current ASIC hardware. This is why you are seeing incorrect version data.
