Warranty Obligations
The official position of equipment manufacturers (specifically Bitmain) is as follows:
- Loss of Warranty: Installation of any third-party software, including Vnish, technically constitutes grounds for voiding the factory warranty.
- No Traces Left: Vnish developers state that the firmware leaves no traces in the system when correctly reverting to factory software, which theoretically might help preserve the warranty.
- Recommendation: The documentation should state a high probability of warranty voidance when using custom software, so that the user is aware of all risks.
