Hello jstefanop, how is that update going? That was 28th September when you said "next week", and then again 12th November "next week", but it's December now and we have nothing. Binary was never updated since release.  Cry We still have to use bugged binary from 26th May 2021, that's 189 days ago. It's not like this is donation-only project, we are on what, 3rd batch of pre-orders now? We all, Apollo users, would appreciate if you can dedicate few hours to update and compile bugged software please.
Thank you.

Next week...

Maybe it was a different pool? anyway, it will work just fine, but do you really want to gamble with a 10k worth of $$$ + the power bill on solo mining? the hashrate is too tiny for a block and kind of too much to gamble with, I just hope you are aware of the odds/risks and all that.


I'm very impulsive to a fault, but you have a point. $30 a day profit as is today doesn't really mean much to me but I suppose if I never touch it and Bitcoin 2-5x then that's a different story. Got a lot to think about but thank you guys for confirming it would work here.

Hi there, I am relatively new to mining but have been interested in starting. I have an FutureBit Apollo BTC currently on the solo pool which seems to be doing okay around 2-3TH.

I have a bonus coming for Christmas that I want to spend on this so I'm thinking of getting a S19j Pro and overclocking it with a homemade immersion cooled setup. I'm reading that it can get up to 140TH overclocked.

I could point it at a pool and make $33 a day but this just seems more fun. I suppose my main question is before I purchase anything, I wanted to verify if there would be any compatibility issue pointing an S19j Pro at the solo pool. I read the history of this and the previous thread and there were a few mentions of Bitmain issues.

Appreciate the input!
