Bitcoin miners get an open-source alternative as Tether launches MiningOS

Stablecoin issuer Tether said its new MiningOS is a modular, self-hosted software stack built to run mining operations from small home rigs to multi-site industrial setups. What to know : Tether has launched MiningOS, an open-source, modular operating system for bitcoin mining that aims to simplify infrastructure management and reduce dependence on proprietary vendor software. The self-hosted system uses a peer-to-peer architecture to let operators manage mining activity without centralized services and scale from home setups to industrial operations across multiple locations. Released under the Apache 2.0 license and built on Holepunch peer-to-peer protocols, MiningOS is designed to be hardware-agnostic and aligns Tether with other firms promoting open-source mining tools, such as Jack Dorsey’s Block.(Coindesk)
