FutureBit

Introducing Apollo III • Up to 18 TH/s of HashPower • Down to 13W/TH Efficiency • Dynamic Power Range from 50 to 400 Watts • Custom Full Node Controller • 8 ARM Cores, 8GB of RAM • Dual NVME Drive bays • Apollo OS 2.1 with Solo Starting at just $899 This is Bitcoin.

@AlienSnarky Some early solo nodes shipped with beta version with this bug, you will need to reflash your sd card for the update.

@FutureBit Trying to update the software v2.1.1 for the Solo Node. There is no On/Off button on the UI to complete update. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

@Mr_Hundredaire Try and sync a full node to that and let us know how it goes

2TB SSD drives are now retailing for $400. Our 2TB Solo Node with 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM is $599. Do with that information as you will.

Pick yours up below, prices go up next week by $100 due to new higher cost SSD drives. shop.futurebit.io/products/solo-…

@Syn_Division @aginglybald All that equals the hashpower of one Apollo III 😅

@aginglybald @FutureBit My setup is ridiculous lol and I figure if I ignored the cost. Then it's free (even if it definitely isn't)

@innerhat Yep, insane value right now!

@FutureBit Pretty good price point and spec for a mini pc in general

@bpp1373949 If you add a worker name to each miner (or use a different payout address for each one) then yes each worker diff is tracked and shown on the solo pool page!

@FutureBit This is amazing news, and thrilled to see so many updates and improvements coming to the ApolloOS finally.. is there currently a way to see each miners best difficulty, or does it only show the current best diff without saying which miner achieved it?

Apollo OS 2.1.1 is in wide release! This is a large bug fix release from beta and OS 2.1 is now available to all devices! Release also includes support for rental hashpower for our Solo Pool service. You can now connect nearly an exahash of hashrate to any Apollo Full Node!

@djamaako Some solo nodes had a UI bug in initial beta release that shipped with some units, in the case you will need to reflash your sd card in the link above!

@FutureBit I have a solo node, I can’t find the upgrade button, tell me how to do the update?

@MagnoBTCmaxi We love giving back to all of you that continue to support our mission!

@FutureBit You guys just keep on giving! Most underrated Bitcoin company in the world!!

Check out our new knowledge base article on how to connect external hashrate to your Apollo Solo Pool! futurebit.io/blog/connectin…

Click on the power button in your UI and press version to upgrade, or reflash your SD card below: github.com/jstefanop/apol…

@compass_mining 👀

Can you mine Bitcoin at home in 2026? Sure...if you have: -240V circuits -76 dB noise tolerance -6 cent/kWh electricity -very tolerant family Consider joining us instead!

@BitcoinErrorLog We tend to agree 😉

I have a soft spot for bitcoin-miner heating appliances. I just think the idea that everyone's heaters, BitAxes, and Umbrels are powering Bitcoin is much cooler than billionaires with massive ASIC datacenter farms lobbying the government and such.

@djamaako Hi this depends a lot on whether you rebooted the system after sync, what apps you are running etc. The node is designed to detect extra ram and use it to speed up sync, 8GB is more than enough, it’s just a slower sync time by about 12-24 hours.

@FutureBit Why is my memory usage so high? It was around 5GB recently, but now it's 9GB. If that's normal, then 8GB is way too low for the Apollo III.

@djamaako It won’t by default, but if you give the AI has access the whole system it can have unintended consequences!

@FutureBit Hi, will this interfere with my solo pool? Will it work in parallel?

PSA: You dont need a Mac mini to run clawdbot... Run it on your Solo Node for half the cost, and now you have your own AI assistant managing your node and solo pool!

@rektsorekt Yep they are designed for low power home use and draw a max of 400 watts!

@FutureBit For clarity, I can run one of these on a standard US 120V circuit right?

Everyone tells you to buy Bitcoin. Almost no one tells you to run it. Apollo III lets one person run a full node, mine from home, and hold their own keys. One node. One miner. One person. That’s not a gadget. It’s an act of defiance. Will you run Bitcoin?

@rektsorekt Hi our standard unit which is miner only would fit that!

I already run Knots + #BIP110 + DATUM gateway to build my block templates, and I use them to pool mine with OCEAN I run a standalone knots node at every geographically distinct site at which I have hashpower To be clear: I like the concept of this product very much for other users, it just doesn't fit my use case/current setup If you made one that was just a raw hashing machine without node-embedding, I would buy it

@iHATEuLIBERAL Compared to what? $50/TH is one of the leading home desktop price per terahash with latest gen efficiency on the market!

@FutureBit You are overpriced.

@FlorinGC Nearly 20TH at starting st 899!

@FutureBit How much is the only important question here
