Only bitcoin purchase I regret this year is a futurebit node. On paper it seemed like a good idea but mine was dead by the end of this year and I was underwhelmed by what it could do. Hope the new update is more useful, but imo the amount you get from mining and the fact its only a full node is a joke for the price. To add lightning to it would be worse (considering the hardware). I dont think this direction will work unless you guys come up with something different that adds value. Like a space heater, air purifier, or some other value added benefit besides mining and a full node. I could also see small nodes/ lightning nodes being good for a business to verify there btc received. Just dont see the node for the home thing value adding when there are way cheaper options that are more reliable. @futurebit

Interesting, what did you think of the new Apollo 2?? That seemed to have a better long term proposition as a lottery miner at least?

It looks to offer more but my issues with this platform still stand. It's under powered and over priced. You can get a gecko or nerd miners for cheaper if wanted to do that. Also could just do as most do an get an s9. You are more likely to win the PowerBar lottery now than mine a block once the having hits.
