Re: Announcing the FutureBit Apollo BTC - A Full Node/Mining Platform for the Home!
I got my notification and can't wait to try out one of these bad boys. Great to know they're getting out the door.
Maybe a hair premature on my part. Looks like while the label was printed, there is still yet to be a package sent to the shipper. I'll update when I have the product in my hand, or maybe once the package is actually shipped. Sorry if I got anyone's hopes up. On the plus side, they seem to be shipping from nearby, so once the package is in route I'm sure it will be a quick process. I'm guessing they're packaging and getting these units out the door as quickly as possible and perhaps are working through a giant stack of shipping labels.
Yea it can take a few days before they get to fedex after we issue a label, everything should be picked up by tomorrow. Yea this was a huge week, production is cranking them out but we are understaffed on the packaging/shipping side since half the team got covid
Received my miners today and they're now up and running without too much difficulty in their setup. Pool is showing them bouncing around between 2.5th/s and 3.5th/s which I believe is probably normal. Sound levels are nonexistent in the room with my GPUs. They are pretty much exactly what I expected. Granted I wish mining profitability was a little better currently, but you can't have it all.
I also see these bad boys selling on eBay at a decent profit (more than double the cost) which is extremely tempting given the current situation. I may try and unload one to get all my BTC back now that prices are lower, or I may just enjoy mining BTC silently in my office like the old days. For now, I'm enjoying watching the red lights blink.
