My BTC NODE : hard drive at 433 GB only 9.65% left ... I am assuming the 500 SSD will run out of space in a year.  Did Futurebit get their calculations wrong?  I see newer machines are shipping with 1TB SSD. What are we supposed to do?

No purchasing 1TB drives for the first two pre-orders would have cost an extra ~100 at the time, which we couldn't justify passing to users. Once the 500GB drives run out of space in a year or so you'll probably be able to pick up a 1TB drive for 50 bucks

Are we giving up 1% of our hash as donation to Futurebit? Someone has said this is the case.  I usually donate 0.25% (1% is a bit high).
Is this confirmed?  I know in the LTC version you can make a voluntary donation.  With the BTC unit this option is hidden.  Views please.

No, and you don't have to believe me sniff your Apollo packets


In the UK the BTC unit is NOT profitable. Rather loss making. Electricity costs are too high: the units are not efficient enough to run at profit.
Has anyone found something that these units can mine profitably?  The LTC units are still profitable (thanks mainly to DOGE).

Stop mining fiat. Your mining BTC and 1 BTC=1BTC. Sure you might be DCAing at 10% higher vs exchange temporarily, but your heating your house, securing the network, and who cares when your 2,000 sats a day will be worth 1 cent per sat in the future?


The computer's OS Linux prompts me to update. Should I update or not?
I don't want it to interfere with the FuturebitWebOs (recently updated). 

Only update through the web UI, updating through the system will brick it
