True, we were neglecting Bitcointalk a bit. We will change that going forward:)

History of the pool (project) & Braiins (company)

1. Pool project started by Marek Palatinus (a.k.a. "Slush") in 2010
2. In 2013 Braiins company takes over development of the pool with majority stake in the project in 2013
3. Marek sets up another company SatoshiLabs which does Trezor (not connected to pool or Braiins)
5. Braiins acquired the remaining minority stake in the pool from Marek in summer 2020
6. Braiins is a BTC mining company - developing new mining protocol Stratum V2, mining firmware Braiins OS+ and more mining projects in the pipeline

POOL MAINTENANCE: pool system upgrade is scheduled for this Wednesday July 14th, from approx. 7:00 to 10:00 AM UTC (3:00 to 6:00 AM EST).

During that time, the Slush Pool website may not be accessible. Mining won't be affected in any way.

NEW RELEASE: Braiins OS Cobalt is here with February release!

Current upgrades/fixes:

• Dragonmint T1: support for G29 revision of the control board (no SD-card slot)
• Dragonmint T1: web interface now allows configuring full range of frequencies (120 MHz - 1596 MHz) and voltage levels (1-31)
• Antminer S9: new configuration option allows disabling temperature sensor scanning (--no-sensor-scan). I2C scan log is now being stored into a separate file: /tmp/i2c_scan.log
• Antminer S9: support for ADT7461 temperature sensor that appears to be used on some hash board revisions
• [fix] 15m and 24h hash rate shows up only if the full time period of hash rate data has been collected
• [fix] enabled/disabled indicator for Asic Boost now works again in the overview status page
• fan control now has a new option --min-fans that specifies the minimum amount of fans that have to be operational (defaults to 1). Setting the option to "0" results in skipping the check for working fans.
• temperature limits are now configurable via configuration file. The two new configuration options are: --fan-temp-hot and --fan-temp-dangerous. These options effectively override the temp limits in temp-def.h

Any feedback is appreciated!

Say goodbye to backdoors, closed systems and “hidden features”. Braiins OS is completely open-source and transparent.
The code is available to anyone to understand, audit and verify. And of course, you are invited to build on top of it.

Thanks for the report, we will look into that.
Have a nice day.

Hi,

Hi, I recommend you to follow this manual.
If there are any problems, please create a ticket here.

Hi everyone,

we recommend to read through the documentation on this website. There is a step-by-step manual how to flash bOS to the mining device. Hopefully it will be helpful.

NEW RELEASE: Braiins OS Cobalt is here!

Current upgrades:

• new status page
• per chip frequency calibration for Antminer S9
• improved bulk upgrades
• full compatibility with AwesomeMinerApp
• ...and much more!

Hi,

yes, definitely. We are finalizing a brand new status page with more details.

Hi,

yes, we would like to make it easier as well 

Hi,

thanks for your feedback.

We are already aware of issues with temperature stats. We are currently working hard on a new release that has fixed API and overview page with realtime data and should solve these problems.

The new release should be out in couple of days.
Thanks for your patience and have a nice day,

It's also in our plan 

Hi,

thanks for your suggestion!

We would like to bring a new status page in the next Brains OS release.
Hopefully it will meet your expectations :-)

Have a nice day,

Hello guys, sorry for the late response, we are working hard on the next release and definitely evaluating your feedback.

If you have some specific issue, it is always good to contact us directly via support ticket.


Antminer S9

Complete support for S9 (not only S9i) is our top priority right now, it should be out pretty soon.

As for overclocking, you can change the frequency, however, we do not feel confident to recommend any safe values. Be cautious. We are also working on voltage control so you can get a better grip of the overclocking.

We learned that many people do not know where pins/jumpers are and how to adjust them. We will update the guide accordingly. Please see this instructional pictures: https://imgur.com/a/dCUjXin

It is our goal to replace the closed bitstream and we are researching it, however, it is a difficult task and will surely take some time.

Installing Braiins OS via Antminer web interface is not possible, sorry.


DragonMint T1

Many T1s, unfortunately, does not have SD slot and we were not completely aware of it. While you can flash it directly into the built-in flash memory, we do not recommend it at the moment since it is alpha.


Support for other devices

Currently, we are focusing on Bitcoin only and want to polish support for Bitcoin mining devices before moving anywhere else. Thank you for the testing offers though!

Hello miners, we have introduced Braiins OS, fully open-source mining firmware.
