Re: Official FutureBit Apollo BTC Software/Image and Support thread

I'm new here. Minned BTC on my discrete gpu in 2013 and sold it all at $125/₿. 
Jumping back into mining, so I bought myslef a Futurebit node/miner.
Fully agree with the DCA via electricity for Non-KYC!
Honesty, I also got one because I got scared when I saw how few nodes are protecting the Blockchain. Even more so that USA only has 1770 nodes.

Figured it's time to step up and do my part to help the community and my own holdings.

Yes, that's pretty much correct. Though you don't factor in the resale value. You could run them for a year and sell them at MSRP, probably. But of course, makes little sense economically, it's much easier to just DCA.
One thing I love about home mining (esp. with sticks) is that you are DCA'ing without KYC and getting Bitcoin without KYC / AML little by little, just by paying a bit more for electricity. And with sticks you can easily 'scale'; $1000 is a lot of money for most people to spend on a miner. $200 or $250 might be easier to justify. Then after a while get a second, third, etc. - with Apollo it's obviously more like 'all in or nothing'.
