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.
- Firmware:
- Stock Firmware
- Braiins OS
- MARAFW (Marathon Firmware)
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 Stock Firmware, Braiins OS, and MARAFW (Marathon Firmware). 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.
- Limited to Curtailment Service Providers (CSPs) with API support:
- 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.
- Currently supports Day-Ahead Market (DAM) prices for the following energy markets:
- 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.
- Current recommendations:
