Re: BeeMiner 1T BTC Miner official thread based on Bitmine A1
- will your driver and/or mining software be open source?
- In the case where GPL code is used, will you respect the license and post your modifications? You know, unlike your competitors (I'm looking at you bitmain and lketc
). - will you make your circuit schematic docs open source - or at least available as PDF?
If the answer to the above questions is 'no' how exactly do you expect customers to maintain/repair your products?
One more question: how long do you plan to support the product e.g. firmware updates for bug fixes, new miner software versions, and performance improvements?
Hi all,
As I said I just can answer the question regarding the sales and distribution. some of these questions will involve technical and I may not be able to give the perfect answer. While I will answer first and beeminer will make up if I missed some.
1, We use CGminer as mining software and we based on the open sources CG and developed by our own team to suit our hardware. at the current stage, we will not be able to open source. I believe others won't either.
2, I can not answer this question at the moment while our Beeminer.com will have support document in the near future for end users to upgrade the firmware and some technical support.
for all the products we sell out we will provide 90 days repairing and replace warranty. While we will not bear the mining lose during the repair and replacement. we will make sure all the product is working fine before sending out. and when customer received the unit you need do some generally checking especially the wire connection before fire up.
Thanks
