Fair enough, was told to run umbrel - but have concerns around security and research done on net. Cittadel is another example, as not many people have done this, was up for a challange, if cannot be done then i mine to a pool, not a issue.
CGMiner has been the core of bitcoin mining used by thousands of people, these other mining software solutions you mention dont even come up on my radar to be honest and as you say are likely to be full of security issues.
CGMiner from Kano is tried and tested, apart from which it is the only current release source that has driver the for the CompacA1
As for your other comment on Raspberry PI5, CGMiner can be run on a PI5, I've done it myself, but you have to compile the software on an earlier model PI board as the current core software release for PI5 GCC is buggy so won't compile CGMiner correctly.
There's a thread on that issue from Kano here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5476416.msg63287718#msg63287718If you have a PI3B or PI4, follow the instructions on Kano's github for building under Linux
https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer/Once compiled, then you're free to copy the compiled cgminer binary onto your PI5 and it should run fine.
Latest version works fine for RPi5, with a more recent GCC than the buggy old RPi OS by the Raspberry people
