What an insane moment…I have been struggling to compose my thoughts all day, but all I can say is freedom is winning and will win.

Bitcoin won’t be co-opted by centralized forces, the individual has and will continue to have the same amount of power.

A decade of work was just validated today, and we stand on the shoulders of titans that deserve the credit even more.

Everyone at FutureBit, all the open source devs, nostr:npub1q0k5l5y437p48vlg4pynht5qkddgdzsea3r2dnxkpn2ju5kn993qnt7wtf and many others.

Build on 🫡

Thanks! Reliability is what we strive for! There is a cost for it but ends up being worth it in the long run…


the futurebit standard miners, while expensive at the time, has proved to be my favorite most reliable solo mining machine ive tried out. been going for two years and still hashes for weeks without me even thinking about it.

thank you nostr:nprofile1qqsr98fg8kdnxck6v57zjuuctcfuqxllhw8d9vdjyml4dh6hqgu348qpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcq5f2c7

nostr:npub1x2wjs0vmxd3d5efu99eeshsncqdllwuw62cmyfhl2m04wq3er2wqj0gv52 runs Futurebit - their Apollo desktop platform is great.


Running Apollo 1+2 generations against local node and CKPool (from your repo). Been so fun, thank you for making this accessible.

The revolution wont be televised, the influencers wont talk about it, no one will report it...it's just the silent majority of plebs running nodes, and solo mining at home.

It's the consequence of not selling out, not having paid shills, not paying to play, but I remain free.

While everyone is distracted by things that dont matter, we are building a true decentralized #bitcoin network when everyone else forgot about it for NGU.

At first it will just be a trickle, a solo block here and there, but soon it will be an unstoppable torrent...

Thanks to you and everyone else that is really putting the Proof of Work in PoW...

The revolution will be live 🫡


Just upgraded my Apollo BTC 1st version. Like the new UI. Thank you.


Self sovereignty or bust


Ready for liftoff. 🚀😁🫡🧡⚡ nostr:npub1x2wjs0vmxd3d5efu99eeshsncqdllwuw62cmyfhl2m04wq3er2wqj0gv52 #ApolloII #Futurebit #runyourownnode #bitcoinrevolution https://image.nostr.build/28a5a635460b619689e447ac559a517901f365861c10dedb9ad655445a1d6c78.jpg


Trying but it’s still not enough 🥺


What a dark day in the history of Bitcoin…first it’s the privacy mixers, next it will be the self custody wallets, then it will be the sovereign nodes and miners.

We warned you…continue to support the corporate and government proxies in Bitcoin and this is what you will get.

It’s war time…if you value anything in Bitcoin self custody, run a node, and mine…these are the bare MINIMUM

Stop funding ETFs, buying mining stocks, and anything else with central government control over them otherwise you are feeding the machine that enables what happened today..


Uggg that would have been insane if you found them connected to an Apollo Solo Pool!


Wait really?!


Yoo I’m back been stuck in production and bug fix hell but almost out of it…just wanted to say we built the worlds best solo miner and it’s WORKING! If you are a farm of any size dm me, we need everyone to start solo mining! https://image.nostr.build/053221d8ce73ca8d157d36ca74494abc61700ded30cd007dec19ed601ac5008f.jpg


What app is this?


Whoever thinks what marathon is doing is not an issue does not understand how fragile censorship at the mempool level is, nor can they see two feet in front of them…..this will be a day people look back on the same way people are looking back at blockfi/ftx and wondering how tf anyone  subscribed to that narrative…


Time to win the hearts and minds of the next generation.

Need them to understand the real revolution Bitcoin provides, not these half baked grifters and wall st greed that is currently occupying the space.

They will be the generation that finally puts the nail in the coffin for wall st and the destruction they have sowed in society...

We will win

Working on it


Too bad they’ll never know where all the FutureBit miners are 🥺


First testnet Solo block found by a production Apollo II running on our integrated node with a stratum solo pool on top of it! Probably the first block in a long time found by a fully vertically integrated system…can’t wait for what the future holds

https://mempool.space/testnet/block/0000000000069966edd1ce657268e4506d87697515fa9018ef55546e898de4ad https://image.nostr.build/9cf2e4c609be1dc7a1e174ae6f755f33b41172933c7c263d2976a66aa3d34273.jpg


Completely different products and no way to compare them, one is a 3000 watt super loud server machine that needs 220v or higher to run and the other is designed from the ground up to run on your desktop with less than 400 watts of power…


Because bitcoins are mined in blocks 😆


Yep! Bitshopper.de is also selling direct there!


You have the option of solo mining or connect to a normal pool, in which case it will mine about 2000 satoshi a day at current difficulty


Hard to believe any individual miner could ever win a block, but it happens!


It’s about the same, 200-400 watts!


Not sure how umbrel works but if you can install application binaries on it then you should be able to control it


Yep check out FutureBit.io for more info


Depends which miner you are talking about, but from our previous gen it’s a pretty big leap in performance (about 4x hashrate and 2x efficiency)


Apollo II Pre-Orders are now live at shop.futurebit.io !


Yes it is!


The winds are shifting you can smell it in the air… #Bitcoin will not be controlled by greed and grifters no matter how hard they try…Satoshi’s vision will prevail


Can I test one 😆


Thanks sir that’s what happens when you don’t have a marketing team and website is built by engineers 😆


The Apollo II is finally here!

If I wasn’t engineering bitcoin miners all day I always told myself I’d sit down and figure out how to make a mini fission reactor 😆


Congrats on this I think we’ll switch our default pool from Braiins over to this for the Apollo II!


Some more eye candy for my nostr peeps as we get up for launch 🚀

Production hash unit, this thing is a BEAST https://image.nostr.build/fdef612b0b6998a75560398150bc99e6178267f7c0ee3c4911e3f9891130fbc7.jpg

Of course it was, and people are cheering for these frauds that don’t even know how to use bitcoin to adopt it…


Want to thank #[0] and team for putting on an awesome event at bitcoin park this week…if your near Nashville go check them out!
