Bitcoin Mining Firmware
summary
BrainsOS already runs Stratum V2 support but compatibility gaps and missing pool/farm-side software limit decentralization; most operators (Luxor’s 3,000+ miners) report near-zero demand for it and instead ask for faster curtailment, autotuning and thermal controls. Third‑party firmware faces a cat‑and‑mouse battle with Bitmain/MicroBT revisions; some teams build a custom control board (slow, painful, partly successful). APIs are fractured (CGMiner, CGI/rest, GraphQL, gRPC) and fleet heterogeneity forces proxies or management software. Dev fees typically run 2–3% dev fee and are traded off against license models and auditability.
