Firmware
Description
Vnish firmware is a powerful alternative software solution for BTC and LTC ASIC miners, created to replace the manufacturer’s stock firmware ( Bitmain Antminer). Vnish functions as a full-fledged “operating system”, intelligently managing hardware components, operating modes, and seamless communication with mining pools.
How Vnish differs from stock firmware
The firmware delivers advanced, low-level control over mining hardware, removing the limitations of stock software in overclocking, downvolting, and large-scale fleet management. This makes Vnish a mission-critical tool for professional mining farms and mining hotels.
Key Value Proposition
Unlocking the full potential of ASIC hardware by increasing hashrate, stability, and energy efficiency to maximize long-term profitability.
Overview of key features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Performance | |
| Overclocking | Increasing chip clock frequencies to achieve higher hashrate beyond factory limits. |
| Downvolting | Lowering clock frequencies and supply voltage to reduce power consumption and improve overall efficiency. |
| Autotuning | Intelligent automatic optimization of frequency and voltage for each individual chip to deliver maximum performance and stability within the selected profile. |
| Presets Autoswitch | Dynamic switching between profiles to select the most optimal overclocking mode based on current operating conditions. |
| Power | |
| Keep power when lost pool connectivity | Automatic power retention or shutdown when connectivity with the mining pool is lost. |
| Pause mining | Temporarily stops mining and reduces fan speed to minimize energy consumption. |
| Power widget | Displays estimated or actual power consumption values, depending on the power supply model. |
| Control and Diagnostic | |
| Mass firmware install / Update | Professional tools for simultaneous firmware installation or updates across large numbers of devices. |
| Mass Configuration | Rapid deployment of settings (pools, passwords, presets) across selected groups of miners. |
| Chip / Heat Map | Clear visual representation of individual chip status and performance on hash boards. |
| Find Miner | Indicator blinking for quick physical identification of a specific device. |
| Diagnostic reports | Generation of detailed diagnostic reports to analyze potential issues and hardware downtime. |
| Cooling modes | |
| Fan Control | Optimized fan control algorithms with configurable target temperatures. |
| Immersion model | Ability to fully disable fan control for immersion cooling without the need for hardware bypass solutions. |
| Security | |
| API key | Secure configuration and management via API requests. |
| Finance model | |
| DevFee and License | Developer fee of 2.8% of hashrate, with optional license-based operation. |
