COW is a resilent POS coin and stays strong despite the challenges its faced. Along with Cowrybet the coins own betting platform and future plans i can only see this coin growing and getting stronger. Would be a good investment now im buying on Graviex exchange definite tip for the future 
Re: Official FutureBit Apollo LTC Image and Support thread
Ive had my batch 1 since day 1 and has always been a sturdy little machine with relatively few glitches. Since upgrading the MCU to enable node support ive had problems.
I have a feeling its because the MCU runs hot and causes problems i.e network disconnects and then the machine fails. It seems to happen when the MCU hits 45 degrees at about 1hour even in ECO.
Tried with out node and still no luck, downgraded to image 1.29 and still the same. Finally replaced the original MCU and every things fine again obviously with out node support though.
So now running back on 1.29 image with original batch 1 MCU and its running sweet even in turbo mode the MCU bearly reaches 27 degrees. Compared to the Masternode version which runs upto 45 degrees and then glitches the machine.
Is this something software could fix i.e change the parameters to let the MCU run hotter if thats what is does, or make it run cooler.
Thanks sticking to no maternode batch 1 setup until further advice.

Re: Official FutureBit Apollo LTC Image and Support thread
I have 2 batch 1 Apollos and have installed the upgrade kit on one of them. I have 2 questions:
1. Everything seems to be working fine on the upgraded Apollo, although the miner dashboard shows the hashrate 121.19 and does not change. Is this a glitch on the new image?
2. I ran both Apollos on the original image for months without interruption. (Using Litecoinpool). Prior to the latest upgrade I put image 1_29 on both Apollos and each day or two they would disconnect from the pool. Although still online, I suspected something related to the Infinity pod they are on in my garage so I connected both via wireless and it seemed to improve. Now that I have one using the full node image and one using 1_29 the full node image seems to stay connected to the pool, but the other drops off each day and I must reboot the Apollo to reconnect. My question is can I use the full node image on the Apollo that is not upgraded?
Appreciate the help.
Also of interest, I found a block on litecoinpool a couple of days ago. First time ever. Of course mining on the pool there was no monetary reward for it, but interesting!

Yes you can thats what im doing on my batch until i get the ordered kit through. The panel is the same apart from the addition of a button for node dashboard and if you press that it just gives a message along the line of not functional with batch 1 etc. But otherwise you can mine with this image as with all previous images.
Re: [ANN] FutureBit Project Apollo: Bringing ASIC Mining Back to the Home Miner!
in theory yes. But rather than just concentrating on finding the LTC block our party will take any scrypt coin block it finds and then convert to LTC no wasted hash and still may find an LTC block...which would be good and if that happens yes 25 /9 (or however many party members)

Re: [ANN] FutureBit Project Apollo: Bringing ASIC Mining Back to the Home Miner!
I was concerned about the cost of this and the recent falling price of Litecoin but read this from yesterday (MarketWatch link provided):
"Another cryptocurrency named Litecoin is expected to again traction in the near future."
Like all investments there are cycles of high/low, so hanging in there.

Worthless report, way too much indication they did NOT actually study anything.
This one phrase is enough to indicate how WORTHLESS this "report" is.
"Currently, some of the prominent players operating in the global cryptocurrency market are BitFury Group Limited, Microsoft Corporation, Alphapoint Corporation, NVIDIA Corporation, and Intel Corporation."
They left out Bitmain and AMD (both of which make a LOT more from cryptocurrency than Nvidia does).
Microsoft has almost NO presence in Cryptocoin at this time.
Never heard OF Alphapoint but they're definitely NOT a "prominent player".
Intel has ZERO presence in cryptocoin other than indirect as a fairly common choice for CPUs to put on motherboards for GPU rigs.
Agreed. I think this kind of BS is not intended for human consumption and is more intended to create awareness from ai bots and is algorithm fodder. Possibly produced by the least heard of company in the list to create some artificial attention. LOL
If the rest of their "research" is as shoddy at THAT statement, their report is 100% worthless.
Re: [ANN] FutureBit Project Apollo: Bringing ASIC Mining Back to the Home Miner!
Nice that the fan will pull. That means external fans could be used to push to the heatsink if more cooling is needed in the summer or for those who might wanna push the envelope. 
Re: [ANN] FutureBit Project Apollo: Bringing ASIC Mining Back to the Home Miner!
Case is no issue with me. I like modding and building stuff. I even designed a custom aluminium case with fans for my 20 moonlanders.
I see the those allen bolts and just see an opportunity to diy. Thinking about alu stand for it...simple

Re: [ANN] FutureBit Project Apollo: Bringing ASIC Mining Back to the Home Miner!
To be honest i wouldnt...
my reasons to run one apollo would be inefficient as youd only need 250 watts max
run two apollos in eco mode maybe... but i still wouldnt these arent the most stable types of psu's
at this stage this is obviously speculative and until ive use an apollo for a while couldnt really be 100% sure.
Id err on the side of caution look at hp or dell server psus and a breakout board (basically and adapter for 6 pin pcie leads) some refurbed bargains around and theyre very efficient, stable and built to be longterm work horses.

Re: [ANN] FutureBit Project Apollo: Bringing ASIC Mining Back to the Home Miner!
Obviously some components will have to be from China like asics they seem at the cutting edge with cheap manufacturing would make sense to keep the cost down. But if your gonna suffer from the raise in tariffs on stuff from China might be better possibly cheaper to have the shipped to Europe and forwarded to USA may be an indirect way but may be cheaper than the tariffs.
Yea we got the ASICs in so were set to at least start production on the PCB. Only bottleneck right now coming from china is the MCU and Fan. Even if we sent the shipments to Europe, they are still subject to a 17% import fee there regardless....trade sucks right now :/
Either way this at most adds 1-2 weeks delay, so worst case well start shipping beginning of november.
I can live with that. Obviously eager to get hold of mine but rather wait and get a quality product like the moonlander2s are
