Braiins released firmware to optimize the performance of ASIC miners

The mining pool operator Slush Pool has released firmware for auto-configuring ASIC miners. New developmentallows you to increase the hashing power of the device without compromising its effectiveness.

After the Bitcoin halving in May, the amount of BTC,coming into circulation every 10 minutes (block rewards) will be halved — from 12.5 to 6.25, or on average from 1800 to 900 BTC per day. In this regard, miners and developers are thinking about optimizing the operation of the equipment so that it can remain profitable even after a decrease in income.

Optimizing work using firmware is one of theopportunities to increase the efficiency of ASIC miners, since the performance of devices is far from limited by the parameters specified by the manufacturer. Braiins, which runs the oldest mining pool Slush Pool and recently published the Stratum V2 protocol, also creates firmware for ASIC miners. Now the company’s developers have released the Braiins OS+ firmware, which is positioned as a means of “auto-configuring” devices for BTC mining.

Auto-tuning helps you find the maximum frequencystable operation for each chip in the hash board of the ASIC miner. This optimizes the device to achieve a higher hash rate while maintaining overall efficiency. According to the company, Braiins OS+ — This is a firmware for miners that allows them to increase the profitability of the devices they already have. To encourage miners to adopt the firmware, Braiins is offering a 50% discount to all miners who contribute their hashrate to Slush Pool from devices running Braiins OS+.

Another important feature of Braiins OS+ —SSH unlocking capability, which gives miners full control over devices and opens access to remote monitoring and management features. According to Braiins, fast firmware updates and device startup ensure minimal equipment downtime. In addition, the ability to turn off fans and a special temperature control system make Braiins OS+ compatible with liquid cooling systems.

Braiins OS+ comes with a componentBOSminer+ firmware is backward compatible with Stratum V1, and includes an implementation of the Stratum V2 mining protocol. This gives miners the ability to simplify device management, improve data efficiency, and protect themselves from hashrate theft with a single update.
