Re: Announcing the FutureBit Apollo BTC - A Full Node/Mining Platform for the Home!
jstefanop, what is exact efficiency of the new miner?
Apollo gen1 is, as seen in my unit:
1962 GH/s @ 121 W (eco mode) = 16.21 GH/s per Watt
2438 GH/s @ 155 W (balanced mode) = 15.73 GH/s per Watt
Before I make the purchase, I need to know if efficiency is any better? What are the numbers? Website is not clear about this. Thanks!

I just wrote them an e-mail, probably will get answer quicker that way. But upon further inspection of the website, I found this screenshot on product page:

This shows:
2970 GH/s @ 202W = 14.70 GH/s per Watt
14.70 GH/s per Watt? That's even worse efficiency than Apollo gen 1 miner. This looks like a mistake, Apollo 1 turbo mode screenshot instead, not a new miner, which claims double the efficiency (in one of the other screenshots).
the have all the information on their home page: futurebit.io
the new unit runs at 28W per TH/s.
~6 TH/s @ 175W
Has a 450W integrated PSU
Can ramp up to a louder ~10TH/s

IMO this thing is no joke. even the bitaxe's which use the BM1366 chips run around 24-26W/TH. The fact that you can get 6TH/s up and running plug and play is gonna be a game changer. hopefully with time we'll be able to unlock even lower efficiency levels.
just wonder what SBC they went with for the full nodes this time. I ordered a standard unit & prob gonna flash the new OS to one & make a 'diy' full node.
major thanks to futurebit squad for the discount for previous customers, extremely competitively priced especially for residential grade miners.
