#881423 FutureBit block! Looks to be the same one that hit a block before, #867760 also it looks like they are mining with a lot of miners thru it. Hashrate (24h) 5.1 EH/s
So they did kind of a Bitcoin-block telethon where several miners pointed their hash to this guy's Apollo node and that's how they hit a block. Don't have the details, but it was mentioned on BitsBeTrippin youtube video just released on solo mining.
Theres power in numbers and clearly it works. Ya know, one could suggest we build a telegram team. Donate our hash to one person and when someone hits the next person in line gets the hash... so on and so on. Its probably the only real way to compete with farms who hit every 10 mins.
Sounds like a good idea, but isn't going to work for many reasons.
Is there any mathematical or scientific logic that makes you claim such a statement? Hard or difficult yes, however what took place last week proves it can work. Hard none the less. I didnt suggest it was easy or simple. However the theory has been proven to work not once but twice by the same person.

Re: Official FutureBit Apollo II/BTC Software/Image and Support thread
It is listed as "6 ARM Core CPU @ 2GHZ and 4GB of RAM" which I believe is actually an OrangePi 4!
I have a non-working USB port in my batch 1 node. Does this mean I can replace the pi in the node with a new board (OrangePi 4) - reflash and it will be fixed?
thanks.
Technically yes, the boards are interchangeable between Node/USB variants and both boards have all required ports for either use case.
Why not use a powered USB hub if you have one working port?

great suggestion. I did goto balanced mode and hash rate isnt much less. I also did a full reboot. At the moment these are my current stats.

some great best shares, maybe I should drop mine to balanced mode it seems like you guys have much higher best shares yet im stuck for 10+ days at the same even in turbo mode. Thoughts? Does it matter, I am guessing no but you would think Turbo mode would draw higher best shares.

Hi all-
I thought it would be nice to see what best share results and some of your other results / settings you are getting with your futurebit full node. I am curious to compare for educational purposes. If your just as curious then please post the following.
These are my current results:
Apollo2 Full Node plus 1 standard One Hour Average Hash Rate: 18.10TH Accepted Shares: 7,644,732,319 Best Share: 5,908,386,730 Running Turbo mode 5 days up time
