First of all, thank you to the guys SideHack and Kanoi for their hard work on the ASIC sticks and the dev side of things. It has been a fun small project for me to get the software up and running on the hardware and I’m now mining some SHA256 crypto’s.

The main question to this post is.

When it boils down to maintenance on the stick, it’s understandable they use the BM1397 ASIC chips to process these mathematical puzzles and I would like to know whether these chips can be upgraded? Will they need new drivers? Or are they just incompatible with other chips?
