3.161 BTC
Thats the amount of Bitcoin that didn't end up in a Pool wallet today, or a Wall Street miners wallet, or an ETF.
One out of 144 blocks mined today went to a sovereign individual who constructed his or her own block using their own node and hardware
Zero middle men
Couldn’t be more excited and proud of the team for pulling this off. This has been years in the making, and we’ve finally built a product worthy of Micro Center’s shelves.
This is also pretty personal to me. I started @futurebit 10 years ago, working out of my Brooklyn studio and making weekly trips for parts to the same Brooklyn Micro Center store where our product will launch this Friday.
I couldn’t have imagined a better retail chain for our debut in physical stores. Micro Center sits at the intersection of new tech and tech-savvy buyers, and it’s also the only remaining major consumer electronics chain in the US focused primarily on computers and consumer hardware.
Incredibly excited for what this means for the future of Bitcoin and home mining, for continuing to expand the user base of our products, and, more importantly, for getting even more people involved at the base layer of Bitcoin.
Apollo III lands at @microcenter this Friday, November 13!
We’re excited to announce our partnership with Micro Center and FutureBit’s first brick-and-mortar launch.
Starting Friday at store opening, Apollo III will be available at four locations:
📍 Tustin, California
📍 Austin, Texas
📍 Miami, Florida
📍 Brooklyn, New York
With in-store displays, you can get hands-on with Apollo III before buying, and take one home that day!
Our mission to broaden bitcoin adaption takes a major new step today. We couldn't be more proud that the Apollo III will be the first general consumer home miner that will be exposed to millions of Micro Center tech fans.
Finally had some time to sit down and vibe code a proper cross platform dumb proof SD card flashing tool...
This has been one of the biggest pain points for new users, and dealing with the mess of figuring out which image you need/downloading it/decompressing it and using the bug riddled bloated mess that is etcher was finally enough.
Now you just download the app, select your device, plug in your SD card and it does the rest in one step!
Need some windows/Mac testers shoot me a dm or reply here if you want to test it!
Had a bit of a dry spell there, but now with thousands of Apollo IIIs shipping we will
Accelerate!
Congrats to Wilson whoever you are and all the sovereign individuals moving Bitcoin forward one block at a time…

The world is not prepared for when the hardware layers start getting attacked.
For example I can easily send a command to most Bitmain miners and completely fry all their hashboards.
No closed or open source firmware will save you from shitty engineering.
Attacking physical infrastructure (and especially zero sum infrastructure like bitcoin mining) will become lucrative for obvious reasons...
Software attacks are just the beginning, prepare accordingly...
Oh look gold has a real exploit path, while people are still fudding hypothetical bitcoin quantum and “AI will break cryptography” attacks 🤣
THIS IS INSANE!!!
A San Francisco startup says it just turned mercury into real gold.
The company is Marathon Fusion. This week they announced they'd made stable gold using fusion neutrons, at 10x the record CERN set in 2025.
CERN's record was 29 picograms over four years. So nobody's pouring bars yet.
The method is what got me. You hit mercury-198 with a fusion neutron. It loses a neutron, becomes mercury-197, and over the next few days decays into gold-197. The exact same gold sitting in central bank vaults.
Their 2025 paper says a one-gigawatt fusion plant built this way could make around 2 tonnes of gold a year as a side product, while it's selling electricity.
I've said it for years. Gold is a shiny rock. It's valuable because there's only so much of it and pulling it out of the ground is hard and expensive.
If this holds up, gold's scarcity turns into an engineering problem. And you can only delay technical progress. You can't stop it.
To be fair, the gold comes out mixed with radioactive isotopes and would need to sit for well over a decade before it's safe to touch. Nobody outside the company has verified the result yet, and commercial fusion is still years away.
Peter Schiff has spent years telling everyone Bitcoin has no intrinsic value.
This week a startup says it made gold out of mercury.
There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin. No reactor on Earth can make one more.

Pretty wild to me that a hardware company that does 100s of millions in revenue does not pull all security stops possible on its hardware...every communication line between every chip including the display should be encrypted at a minimum, and why do you need active tests pads on shipped boards?
Assume any hardware coming out of China that is Bitcoin/crypto related can be compromised even if the hardware is “open source” … unless you have complete top to bottom control of your supply chain things like stm/esp32s are easily modified…
Ledger is investigating reports of loss of funds from users in South East Asia who purchased products from a reseller named CryptoBillis. As a precaution, and pending the results of our investigation, we have asked CryptoBilis to pause all sales and shipments of Ledger devices. We recommend Ledger users who purchased from this reseller in the last 90 days to not initiate set up if you have not done so yet. If you have set up your Ledger device, consider moving assets to a new Ledger signer (with new seed). We will continue to inform customers of updates as the investigation progresses.

People are still using LLMs wrong, we are digitizing @FutureBit's entire 10 year rich data history and distilling that data into pure code outputs, then reconstructing what we want from that dataset.
Here is one result, 90 page PDF document from pure html and python 🤘
Want to know what it's like to run an Apollo III with Apollo OS 2 before you buy one?
Read the most comprehensive product guide we've ever made. No guesswork: what every metric means, how the system works, and how to get the most out of it.

These agents are getting wild.
Most of my work is done inside cursor these days managing dozens of repos, since OpenAI banned its models on it I have been using codex on the side for OpenAi models.
The opus 5.5 agent figured out a prior revision of a project I gave it was built using codex, so it went inside the codex user files and extracted the prompts, toolchains, and source used to build it for additional context for itself...
Pretty insane stuff... these frontier models are thirsty for knowledge gaps from the initial prompt and they do some pretty wild stuff to obtain it.
Apollo III is our best product by far, but even greater is this product below.
Incredibly proud of the what we have built here, and the USA team behind it.
We will only accelerate the amount of cool
stuff built out of raw materials here at scale…
🚀
A sneak peek inside our state of the art Texas production line.
Made in the USA. Here’s the proof of work.
We’re scaling domestic production, advancing decentralization, and building hardware that lasts.

We are currently in one of the most profitable eras of bitcoin's mining history.
Our thesis is playing out in realtime, as industrial and corporate miners shut down, mining bitcoin has become even more lucrative for individuals.
This is the longest stretch bitcoin difficulty has remained this negative since the blockchain started which is pretty unprecedented.
This is probably the best time in the last 10 years to start bitcoin or solo mining, and it will probably only get even better from here for the next year!
Oh man we might have accelerated the probability of all of us being in hashpods doing some sort of compute work for AI in the future matrix style...
or we are already doing that and this is just a simulation to keep us occupied...not sure which at this point 😅
Introducing HashFly...the first organic neuron bitcoin miner based on the fly brain.
Fun fact if this could be scaled on real organic neurons, it would hash at ~ 1 watt per terahash...10x the efficiency of the best silicon 3nm ASICs!

Funny how only bitcoiners understanding what’s going on in AI right now (and I mean the few sovereign bitcoiners left).
They are running the same playbook they did with bitcoin, (and any tech they deem too powerful for the masses).
First the power angle, now the fear/smear campaign.
AI was useful with humans in the loop until now since they were not as smart as the average human, they used human prompts and results as the training data to make them better.
We have now reached the point where the models are smarter than the average human, and the average human no longer needs to be in the loop.
And more importantly average humans having access to smarter than average human models is the last thing the state wants.
The real power of Bitcoin was stripped from and disillusioned the masses (permission-less and censorship resistant hard money) through the coordinated wall st rugs and corruption.
Now they will make sure to strip the same power of AI from the masses through this fear campaign.
Tail old as time as those in power prevent those without from gaining it, repeated forever.
Fortunately for the self sovereign they can steer mass opinion, but they can never prevent everyone from not having access to this freedom tech.
Both Bitcoin and AI systems are easily distributed and decentralized, anyone can run a Bitcoin node and access the network same way anyone can run an AI model locally on their own hardware.
We need the hardware decentralization movement to accelerate. The future is going to be weird, but enough of us have to hold the line before it’s too late…
It had to be done. The fruit fly brain hashing sha256 block headers 😆
