| $0.15 per kWh | $1.35 | −$1.02 |
An average, not a wage. Solo mining pays this average out as a whole block or nothing: the figure is what the machine earns per day over a very long run, not what arrives each day. The machine's own price is not shown here. Open the calculator to use your own power price.

About the FutureBit Apollo II
The Apollo II is built as a home appliance rather than a farm machine: a desktop box that mines and, in its Full Node version, also runs its own Bitcoin node, with FutureBit's Apollo OS managing both from a web dashboard. It has two modes, about 9 terahashes a second in Turbo at around 375 W, or about 6 TH/s in Eco at around 175 W, measured at the board.
Eco is the efficient setting: about 29 joules per terahash against roughly 42 in Turbo. FutureBit quotes under 40 dBA in Eco and about 55 dB in Turbo, the difference between a desk you can work at and one you notice. It runs on any mains voltage from 90 to 240 V through a standard C13 connector, at up to 450 W.
For solo miners its best-known feature is built in. Apollo OS includes its own solo pool, so an Apollo with its own full node can mine straight to its owner's address with no outside pool at all. Blocks found that way carry FutureBit's solo tag in the coinbase, and every one we could verify is in our Solo Block Record, listed below.
It can also point at any other pool, SoloLuck included: the Lite port, your own Bitcoin address as the username, no fee, and the whole reward of a found block paid straight to you. Mining here or on its built-in pool gives the same odds per hash; what differs is whose node builds the block.

Quick answers
Can one FutureBit Apollo II find a Bitcoin block on its own?
Yes: every hash is a fresh draw, so any miner can. At today's difficulty one FutureBit Apollo II would expect a block about once every 2,100 years, a 1 in 780,000 chance on any given day, and most never find one.
How much does the FutureBit Apollo II earn a day?

Set the pool URL to stratum+tcp://stratum.sololuck.io:3333, the username to your own Bitcoin address (a dot and a worker name are optional) and the password to anything. SoloLuck charges no fee, and a block it finds pays the whole reward straight to your address.
