Descripción general del producto
The FutureBit Apollo BTC is the only mass-produced, USB-C powered SHA-256 miner purposely engineered for residential Bitcoin mining. A built-in Raspberry Pi node keeps the Bitcoin blockchain in sync while the custom ASIC chip hashes at 3 TH/s—delivering true bitcoin mining hardware efficiency without the industrial footprint. Silent cooling, Wi-Fi setup, and a smartphone-grade interface make it the go-to gateway for anyone who wants to stack sats without stacking noise complaints.

Notas de uso
• Plug into a 5 V 60 W USB-C PD adapter (1 TH model) or 90 W adapter (3 TH model).
• Place the unit on a hard surface; soft mats muffle exhaust and raise temps.
• Sync the built-in Bitcoin Core node before mining to avoid stale shares.

Pro Tips
-
Overclock to 3.3 TH at 220 W via web UI if you have sub-10 ¢/kWh power.
-
Pair with a 400 W solar panel and 1 kWh LiFePO₄ pack for daylight-only mining.
-
Route exhaust into a seedling tray—28 dB of heat doubles as a silent germination mat.
Competitive Landscape
| Modelo | Tasa de hash | Fuerza | Eficiencia | Enfriamiento | Ruido |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FutureBit Apollo BTC | 3 TH | 200 W | 0.067 J/GH | Aire | 28 dB |
| Bitmain Antminer S9 | 13.5 TH | 1 320 W | 0.098 J/GH | Aire | 75 dB |
| Mini-DOGE concha dorada | 185 GH | 233 W | 1.26 J/GH | Aire | 35 dB |
Apollo BTC wins on silence and plug-and-play, loses on raw hash—ideal for hobbyists, not farms.

Preguntas frecuentes
Q1: How much electricity does FutureBit Apollo BTC use per day?
En ECO mode the unit draws 125 W, which equals 3 kWh per day.
En TURBO mode it rises to 200 W, or 4.8 kWh per day .
En TURBO mode it rises to 200 W, or 4.8 kWh per day .
Q2: Can I run FutureBit Apollo BTC on a power bank?
Only if the power bank can deliver 12 V via two 6-pin PCIe connectors at ≥ 16.7 A (≈ 200 W continuous). Standard USB-C PD power banks are capped at 100 W and will not sustain TURBO mode .
Q3: What temperature should my room be for optimal Apollo BTC mining?
Keep ambient between 15 °C and 25 °C; the onboard fan ramps from 1 k to 5 k RPM to hold the ASIC below 65 °C die temp
Q4: Does FutureBit Apollo BTC support solo mining?
Yes. The Full Package ships with Bitcoin Core pre-installed, so you can point the 3 TH/s hashboard at your own node and attempt solo block finds
Q5: How long does it take to sync the built-in Bitcoin node?
On a 100 Mbps connection the 1 TB NVMe drive syncs the entire chain in under 48 hours—roughly ten times faster than a Raspberry Pi 4 setup
