Question: When solo mining, it says  "Mine directly to your Bitcoin node" does that mean we need an address that comes from the node? Or any address will work?
Also, has any Apollo found a block yet?

Any legacy or non script segwit address will work, the newer longer segwit/taproot addresses wont work for solo mining.

Not yet, but someone found a 42 trillion share so far (highest that I know) which is 1/2 network diff...we are also going wide release and will push an email + UI upgrade soon so if a large majority of all apollo users go solo there should be a block pretty fast.

Of course we have no idea what our users are doing, where they are mining or what % is solo vs pool etc so can be difficult to gauge.

Thanks for the info.

Also, is it possible/doable to upgrade the fan of the Apollo II ? I find it pretty loud, not sure what kind of fan it is. I live in hot weather so the fan spins faster.
