They wont work on any other pool that expects you to put out the correct format %08x.
Without the zeros added, the shares are rejected since they don't hash to the correct diff.

When I get my Apollo, I would like to try with and without 08. It should be easy to insert 2 bytes in any disassembler..

I simply had someone on my pool ask about it when they chose to turn it on.
I noticed a lot of errors on my pool console, (quickly) identified what the problem was, added a change to my pool, and thus it works fine now.
Yes the shares have version values, but any with a smaller value (below 10000000 hex) are missing the leading zeros.
The rest are ok.
When you are submitting shares that 'can' be valid, and the pool is rejecting them (even if they are blocks) due to the mining software ignoring what stratum expects, it's never a good thing.

It does seem if the fix is as easy as claimed and there is no harm to having it done that way, we should at least have the option of some sort of temporary band-aid experimental software we can download to activate asicboost on our Apollos. As stated, it shouldn't be too difficult. Even if the download link was only posted on this thread. As long as it came from the official site I think people would feel comfortable trying it out and it could only be a good thing for customers which is a good thing for FutureBit right?
