NiceHash partners with MARA to introduce a specialized firmware for Bitcoin ASIC miners
NiceHash, a leading platform for cryptocurrency mining, has teamed up with Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA) to introduce a specialized firmware for application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) miners that is optimized for the NiceHash platform. This collaboration was revealed to Finbold on June 14.
The newly launched product, known as NiceHash Firmware, utilizes MARA’s cutting-edge technology and is now accessible to all Bitcoin (BTC) miners. It offers advanced features designed to enhance the efficiency of ASIC devices and increase revenue.
Developed in partnership with MARA, NiceHash Firmware is fully compatible with NiceHash ASIC Manager, Foreman, and Awesome Miner.
NiceHash Firmware is now available for a nominal fee of 2%, which decreases to 1.4% for miners who use NiceHash as their primary mining pool. Equipped with innovative auto-tuning features and customizable profiles, the firmware aims to make the latest technology in the cryptocurrency industry widely available.
This firmware can be installed on ASICs with Air, Hydro, and Single Phase or Two Phase Immersion cooling systems. Its auto-tune feature can be adjusted based on Power Target, Hashrate Target, or Percentage Adjustment. Additionally, it includes intelligent thermal protection and a custom dashboard for detailed monitoring of ASIC performance.
Marathon, a prominent publicly traded Bitcoin miner, is recognized for its advanced firmware, which features an advanced auto-tuning function for optimizing ASIC machines. Through its partnership with NiceHash, this technology, now branded as NiceHash Firmware, will be accessible to miners of all sizes.
Vladimir Hozjan, CEO of NiceHash, commended the quality and reliability of MARA’s firmware solutions, stating:
“We have been searching for a suitable firmware solution for ASIC miners for several years at NiceHash. Marathon’s firmware product has impressed us with its high quality and reliability. Our collaboration will ensure that we remain at the forefront of this rapidly evolving industry. By combining our expertise, we aim to strengthen our position in the market, drive innovation, set new standards in mining, and empower miners worldwide to achieve unparalleled efficiency and profitability.”
NiceHash Firmware supports Bitcoin miners in maximizing their profitability, particularly after the halving event. It offers added incentives for miners to utilize NiceHash for selling their excess hashing power while benefiting from improved ASIC capabilities and performance.
