Of course the more successful this product is, the less compromises we have to make...would love to port the firmware over to cgminer and hopefully we can get there soon.
Running the Apollo with cgminer instead of a closed source binary would be absolutely fantastic.
It seems that the Apollos are doing very well,
Batch 3 is sold out, and it looks like things are going great in general:
Just want to take a moment here to thank you guys taking part in this movement, because FutureBit is not just some consumer hardware company making toy miners but it truly is a movement enabled by all you guys.
https://bitnodes.io/nodes/?q=Satoshi:0.21.1So cool to see those Apollo user agents dominating that list
Hundreds of nodes have come online, and thousands more will once they are done syncing (and make sure you are all forwarding those 8333 ports!)
I am beyond humbled in seeing this play out in real time, and I take my hat off to everyone sitting there running these on their desks, not because its profitable, not because its cool, but because you truly believe in what Bitcoin is and should be and we are all taking the first step in reclaiming some balance back from these power hungry, greed seeking, centralized entities/individuals that have entrenched themselves in and are trying to soil the true vision of what Bitcoin is
We have a ways to go but the Future of Bitcoin is looking bright

How close are we to have Apollo's firmware ported to cgminer? some time in 2022?
