With all of the "evil" firmware out there... is there a wiki/sticky here somewhere that has a list of all firmware known to be good?
Perhaps even with stable OCs and/or undervolts along with the dev fees that each charges?

If it doesn't exist I think I'm probably not alone in thinking that it would be an amazing resource to have.

Many thanks

There is only one firmware that doesn't violate the cgminer license.
Braiins is the only one that has a full valid source code to the software.

Supporting any others is supporting people who violate the license for the cgminer software that many people have spent years working on
... though most people including many in this thread don't seem to care - and will use or say they will use such firmware in the future.

The license is simple, you must supply source code for the miner upon request, if you distribute a firmware.
The cgminer source code has been there for 9 years, open source, GPL, and free to use.
Stop supporting people who break that license requirement.
