We present the six FutureBit Apollo BTC CPU cores. 44 ASIC cores.
1TB NVMe-based SSD. Quiet. Less than 200 watts of power. Made in the USA.
This is what the future of Bitcoin looks like. FutureBit Apollo BTC is the world's first vertically integrated platform that brings the full power of Bitcoin and its mining infrastructure into a small, quiet and easy-to-use desktop device designed for everyday people.
We iterated and learned a lot from our first Apollo product. We realised early on that we focused too much on the mining aspect, and not enough on the software, applications and services that run Bitcoin.
Too many of these services have moved to centralised online websites, and many users have given up running the core software that powers Bitcoin. This must change, as Bitcoin will not remain the free, uncensorable, decentralised system it is today if only a few control the mining that powers it, and the nodes that control it.
En el corazón del nuevo producto Apollo BTC hay un SBC renovado (computadora de una sola placa), que es tan potente como cualquier sistema de escritorio de grado de consumo y puede ejecutar casi cualquier aplicación Bitcoin de forma nativa en el dispositivo 24/7. Sácalo de la caja, conéctalo, enciéndelo y ya estás ejecutando un nodo Bitcoin completo sin necesidad de hacer nada. Instala una cartera de tu elección, utiliza cualquier cartera de hardware, ejecuta BTCPayServer, ejecuta un explorador de bloques, ejecuta un nodo Lightning.
All this is possible with our six-core ARM-based CPU with 4GB of RAM, and a 1TB NVMe drive that can easily store an entire Bitcoin node without pruning.
It can power through a full node sync in less than 48 hours, which is a record for a device of its class. This is almost an order of magnitude faster than any Raspberry Pi 4-based node.
