 FutureBit Apollo II BTC miner arrived today

So far it is a brick.

Does not load the OS, just runs the fan at the highest level.

Sigh.

 I don’t think so, but so far this looks like a system no normie could ever run

 it's from a company though? Did you pre-order it?

Hows it mining exactly?

 sorry to hear that. i found the futurebit software bitcointalk.org forum to be the only place i could get help when troubleshooting the previous gen apollo i owned.

 Good News. It was a corrupt SD card - I have re-flashed and it is running right now. Exciting stuff!
