FutureBit Apollo II
Nodo completo de escritorio silencioso + minero en solitario en una sola caja (~9–10 TH/s). La opción electrodoméstico-soberanía.
Overview
The FutureBit Apollo II is a clever all-in-one 'sovereignty appliance' that combines a quiet desktop Bitcoin miner and a full Bitcoin node in a single box. It produces roughly 9-10 TH/s and, crucially, does so quietly enough to sit on a desk — a deliberate contrast to the industrial Antminer approach. On top of mining, it runs a full Bitcoin node (and can run Lightning), letting you verify your own transactions and support the network from the same device.
The appeal is integration and quietness. Rather than juggling a separate node and a loud miner, the Apollo II bundles both into one polished, low-noise unit with a friendly interface. As a node it does the genuinely valuable work — validating the blockchain yourself, so you don't have to trust anyone else — and the mining is the bonus that turns it into a self-contained Bitcoin machine.
The honest framing: at ~10 TH/s the mining is still lottery-and-hobby economics against a hundreds-of-exahash network, so don't buy it expecting mining income. The real, lasting value is the full node — running your own node is the backbone of trustless self-custody and is worthwhile regardless of mining. Compared with cheaper dedicated node kits (Umbrel, Start9), the Apollo II costs more because it also mines and is a more integrated appliance. Buy it if you want one quiet, elegant box that both verifies the chain and gives you a fun long-shot at a block; if you only want a node, a cheaper node kit does that job for less.

FutureBit Apollo II: Frequently asked questions
Is the Apollo II a good investment for mining income?
No. At ~10 TH/s the mining is lottery-and-hobby economics. Its lasting value is the full node and the integrated, quiet appliance experience, not mining profit.
Why does the full node matter?
Running your own node lets you validate the blockchain yourself, so you verify your transactions without trusting a third party — the backbone of trustless self-custody.
How is it different from an Umbrel or Start9 node?
It also mines and is a more integrated appliance, so it costs more. If you only want a node, a dedicated node kit does that for less.
Is it quiet enough for a home office?
Yes. Unlike an Antminer, it's engineered to run quietly on a desk, which is central to its appeal.
