Compatibility and Platform Scope

Compatibility and Platform Scope

Braiins Manager is designed for flexibility and scalability across a wide range of mining operations. This page outlines the current compatibility of supported devices, systems, and features.

Supported Devices

  • Manufacturers:
    • Bitmain Antminers (Bitcoin and altcoin miners)
    • MicroBT Whatsminers (Bitcoin miners)
    • Avalons (Bitcoin miners)
    • IceRivers (altcoin miners)

Altcoin miners are supported on a best-effort basis. While Braiins Manager provides basic functionality for these devices, full compatibility and stability are not guaranteed due to the lower overall demand for altcoin miner support.

Devices and firmware outside of the listed manufacturers and versions are currently unsupported.

Supported Operating Systems

  • Recommended:
    • Linux (Ubuntu/Debian-based distributions) for stable and efficient operations.
    • Windows 11 is also supported.
  • Not Recommended:
    • Windows versions older than Windows 11.
    • Stripped-down versions of Linux distributions that lack essential utilities.

Feature Compatibility

  • Custom Firmware:
    • Currently supports only Stock Firmware and Braiins OS. Other custom firmware is not supported.
  • Curtailment (CSP Integration):
    • Limited to Curtailment Service Providers (CSPs) with API support:
      • Enel
      • CPower
      • Voltus
      • Scioto
    • Additional CSP integrations are planned but not yet available.
  • Strike Price Curtailment:
    • Currently supports Day-Ahead Market (DAM) prices for the following energy markets:
      • ERCOT
      • PJM
      • Nord Pool
    • If you're looking for support for a different energy market, please fill out the request form here.
  • Automated Worker Addition:
    • Requires properly configured Scanner settings for auto-detection. Manual intervention may be needed for devices with unrecognized variants.

Performance and Scalability

  • Server Requirements:
    • Ensure server specifications align with the number of miners. For details, see Prerequisites.
  • Device Capacity Guidelines:
    • Current recommendations:
      • Up to 1,000 miners: Raspberry Pi or equivalent.
      • 5,000+ miners: Dedicated mid-range servers.

Platform Transition Notes

  • Sitemap:
    • Old Sitemap remains available but will be deprecated in upcoming months.

Future Improvements

We are actively working to expand support for additional manufacturers, firmware, and CSPs.
