In case anyone is looking for a mining-os with a BitcoinZ miner, at Cowry OS(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3687272.0) we've added EWBF Cuda Equihash Miner v0.2 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4466962.0)

We've added a section to our help page about setting up Sonoff(https://www.itead.cc/sonoff-wifi-wireless-switch.html) with Cowry as a remote resetter.
We've also added EWBF Cuda Equihash Miner v0.2 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4466962.0)

You click that orange button and it will take you to a page with the answers. But in short, we are working on making remote GPU virtualisation possible and enable miners to rent their GPUS to AI researchers.

Anytime

I don't believe this is a serious question

It works with AMD cards(not VEGA) but we still mainly support nvidia cards.

In case anyone is looking for a mining-os with a zero miner, at Cowry OS we've added it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3687272.0

We added the miner for ZeroCoin:

I will let you know the details soon.

There is a little update from us:

• We introduced payment plans and Cowry OS if free to use for 1 rig: https://cowry.io/#pricing
• We started our crowdfunding campaign this month and already have some amazing backers!: https://cowry.io/funding.html
• Later this week we will publish documentation on how to setup Sonoff based devices for remote resetting rigs and get power meter data into Cowry OS from Sonoff devices

Unfortunately the AMD driver for Linux doesn't work with Vega cards yet.

We made a short video guide about getting started with Cowry: https://youtu.be/rAjrA1uNvNQ

I was able to reproduce this issue. It looks like if you are trying to flash the zip directly with Etcher it fails for some reason. But if you extract it first, then flash the ISO it works. I will try to figure out what causing it, in the meantime please extract the zip before flashing.

Could you please do an md5 checksum verification?
This is the zip: b11a1ffd16597e1525146a6961842223
And the extracted ISO: 8da9e0f9f23d3f553c3187031a0968b9

Let me know your OS if you don't know how to do it and I will help you.

And I assume it is an 8GB pendrive? If so, my guess is there it isn't 8GB(some of the ones are just ~7.5) and it doesn't have enough free space.

Is this happening with Etcher and 1.0.0 version of the ISO?

In the current state Cowry is quite similar to those, except we will have our mobile apps released soon(as far as I know they don't have that), so you will be able to manage your rigs on the go.
What will make us quite different in a few months is the option to put your GPUs up on a marketplace, where AI/ML researchers can rent it for a higher value than you would earn by mining coins. Our architecture won't require any extra hardware(extra RAM, high-end CPU, extra SSD storage, etc) in a rig, since the only thing the researchers will rent is the GPU.
Another cool feature we are working on is an open hardware rig resetter, you can buy the hardware part and just put our firmware on it and you can manage it from your Cowry account.

It updates itself, you don't need to do anything.

You can use the previous one if you are already using that, but for new rigs it is recommended to burn the latest.

We released a new version of the OS with a few minor improvements, you can download it from Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1SzEszynL8XBP1ocyPNLG1rRj2GGPTqek
