How about using a Remote monitoring and management software that can do much more?
Take a look at our platform.
https://mineitor.com/

Also here is the topic:

Thanks to you for the support Smiley
Thanks for sharing this also here.
We are very happy to see that Braiins users trust Mineitor. That made us think of adding more features to manage and monitor Braiins OS/Braiins OS+, including some features from BOS Toolbox like upgrade install and removal and more.

How about running original vnish on your device and also get free remote monitoring and management software?

4  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: How do custom firmware collect their fees. on: January 23, 2022, 09:57:36 AM
It's easy enough to remove the fees from all these illegal firmware.
The people who release them are really not that smart.
Of course I'm certainly not gonna support a bunch of criminals and help people use their firmware ...
So how does one redirect the dev fee. I'm actually using this firmware. I got a really crappy mine, I bought it second hand. Send to bitmain for repair, they scrapped it. I but I used a custom firmware and it sometimes works. So I can at least get some $, but I honestly need all I can get to stay alive
Re-directing or outright blocking the devfee address is not the hard part: the fact that the miner is also looking for those (sucessfull) connections and will stop mining when it no longer gets the correct responses when it tries to switch to the dev pool. In short, it is a software based license key dongle.

I didn't try, but this could be possible with Iptables to redirect traffic and a stratum relay/proxy and some modification in its source code. But If you do that, you will kill the projects, which means there will be no more custom firmware to help with situations like yours.

Hi, Currently We are releasing a new feature in Mineitor that is what you are looking for. but you need to decide yourself how many miners to work on other pool. and currently only supports BTC(SHA-256) , Here is the supported features:

For example you can create a group of miners that is 5% of your miners hashrate and redirect to another pool. but you need to have many miners to do this or you can change pools based on time .something like change pool for 1 hour per day makes it nearly 4%.

Mineitor Proxy relay.
****It is not proxy means each miner has its own connection to pool, so you see each miner(worker in pool) separately.

Fast pool switch. ( no need to restart cgminer , or miner itself)
Possibility to Set different pool for each miner.
Possibility to use VPN on relay server.
Bulk pool change.

Benefits:
VPN - Fast pool switching - Lower DNS queries



If you are interested please let me know Smiley

There is no paid license option for cgminer.
If you provide a firmware that uses cgminer code to make the miner in it, you must supply the source code for the miner on request.
That's the cgminer GPLv3 license.

I now think of a question:
Did you send an email to Bitmain or Whatsminer asking for the source code?
8  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Mining monitoring softwares on: July 15, 2021, 04:24:44 PM
Anyone got any ideas how to make this happen?
In Mineitor it is also possible configure receive alerts in telegram and web push notifications.
Also it is possible to create customized alerts with personalized conditions.
Telegram alerts is what you're looking for Wink
9  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Mining Farm Software Comparison on: July 15, 2021, 02:18:41 PM
Bitmain gears with the stock firmware do violate the GPLv3 license in the same manner that all of these custom devs do.
Just want to mention I either cant find the source code for following brands.
Ebang
Whatsminer
InnoSilicon
Cheetah Miner
Dragon Mint
Bitfily
Todek
PandaMiner
​Baikal
StrongU   
Lovecore
Goldshell
,...

Even the Bitmain S9 source for their modified cgminer is available online.
So you earlier mentioned that every distribution should publish source code! only specific version of s9 which I believe it is too old is ok?!
What about other models?
If a custom firmware developer releases a source code from an old version which is impossible to find if it is the correct one, you will be satisfied?
I can't get it, why it is important to not replace a firmware with another one with the same condition which works better that stock one?
Why should anybody care about license since the big companies already ignore it and you as one of the developers accepted the situation?
What I see here is that you are only making excuses.

I totally agree with mikeywith, you are cherry-picking who to "fight".
10  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Mining monitoring softwares on: July 15, 2021, 01:51:43 PM
Hello,
What is the best software that can monitor miners (AntMiner) efficiently, in example if the there are hardware problems, over heating, network disconnection etc. and alert the admin via mobile app or similar? Having detailed system alerts to mobile phone is an essential feature for me.
Try Mineitor , First month is free to test  Smiley
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5257764.0

We have 24/7 full support. and features that is unique to us. like  Remote-browser ,Customer-management , ...
11  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Mining Farm Software Comparison on: July 14, 2021, 12:31:51 PM
The explanation is not weird
But in my point of view, this explanation is not answering my question. I really want to know what is the differences between one firmware that violates the same license with another one violating the same license?!
It makes me think that if you are big enough like bitmain, So we are ok with your license violation!?

Quote
You can't prevent them from using your pool.

For "Them" I mean all miners including devices with OEM firmware and others with custom firmware.
So it is correct if we really stop providing service to firmware which violate the license there will be no one left, excluding braiins.


Also to mention, we asked same partnership offer to the braiins team in the first place, but after some negotiations, we found their rules are not fair for such cooperation!
 
12  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Mineitor|Big Update - Powerful Monitoring|Management - New Firmware Available!! on: July 08, 2021, 06:54:33 AM
However, I will also point out that although many people are murdered every day, is that OK for you to do it also?
Here what we can do about it.
We will add a notice in our downloads section to make sure that people know what they are downloading.
But If we remove the support, we will lose the competition, since all of our competitors have such an offer.

We are not murderess!!!!
13  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Mineitor|Big Update - Powerful Monitoring|Management - New Firmware Available!! on: July 08, 2021, 06:14:22 AM
You provide on your site you list in this thread, a download of firmware that violates the cgminer license.
https://mineitor.com/downloads
This is, by definition, 'distributing' firmware.

It is a violation of the cgminer license to distribute this firmware and not supply source code on request.
I am the 2nd main developer of cgminer.
So I'm not at all sure why you think I wouldn't know how the license for cgminer works, nor why I wouldn't feel the need to point out you are violating the license.

You also advertise that people should use this firmware on your site, sounds like a bad idea to advertise to people to violate a license.
I already confirmed that you are right about license and nobody is telling that you don't know how license works.  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5346051.msg57397315#msg57397315)

But you keep skipping other parts of my reply and telling me what you know. Here again, I will explain why it is complicated and even you accepted this situation.
All of the miner manufacturers are violating the license. So what is the point you keep telling people to not replace with another firmware which doing the same?
When you buy a Bitmain ASIC or Whatsminer. You already purchased a device with firmware that is violating the license.
You are providing service to customers who use miners (with original firmware) which is already the same.
It is true that you are not distributing any firmware but in the end, by allowing miners to use your pool somehow you are legitimizing the bigger players of this industry which also violate the license.
14  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Mining Farm Software Comparison on: July 07, 2021, 08:03:52 AM

Now I am curious.  What they working on? 

I didn't understand your question.
If you are asking what we do as the Mineitor team?
We are providing a Remote monitoring and management solution with automation tools and alerts.
It helps farm owners to better manage and maintain their farms and devices. So they can reduce costs and increase revenue and increase their security from many aspects.

We respect the privacy of our customers and It's not like what Kano said that we don't care about the license. We haven't created any firmware and don't own it. We just provided an offer to the users of that firmware. And all the responsibility of how did they developed and what software they used in developing their firmware is with the Vnish team. So many users already are using their firmware whether we offer that service or not. We are just focused on our own company's success and growth. As I already said If we would want to not provide support for firmware that violating the CGMiner license, We have to drop support for almost all of the miners in the industry, not just Vnish. That's impossible. And keep in mind that we are not responsible for what others do.
15  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Mining Farm Software Comparison on: July 07, 2021, 07:44:14 AM
You distribute it, so you are required to provide the source code.
That's how the GPLv3 license works.
Actually, I am in the same position as you but what am I trying to say is that 99% of this industry is not respecting the License.
Let's make it more clear,
Bitmain, Whatsminer, Innosilicon, and many more Even Goldshell that TSUB uses, which uses BFGMiner that also is violating the GPLv3 license.

So can we say 90% of the mining industry is currently violating Licenses? this means that 90% of your pool users are using devices and firmware that violate the GPLv3 license.

As Mineitor team we have three goals
1.Support any model and brand of miners which includes custom firmwares. so we can reach as many users.
2.Provide the best possible Customer Service.
3.Provide the best tools possible for monitoring and management.

As result, we can't lose the part of customers that is willing to use custom firmware. so we launched our partnership program which includes Vnish and in the future, there will be more.
 
Let's be honest with each other. You can't prevent them from using your pool. If you do then you will have to shutdown your service.
I looked at your website. You only prevent Custom Firmware. If you care, In the first place you need to stop using miners and giving service to them. Even firmware provided by the miner manufacturer

16  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Mineitor|Big Update - Powerful Monitoring|Management - New Firmware Available!! on: July 07, 2021, 07:00:25 AM
My pool blocks firmware that I can detect violates the license.
It's well known that I do that.
Even in bold red on the home page ...

If you distribute a firmware, you are required to supply the source code upon request.
That's how the GPLv3 license works (and has for more than 10 years)
Since we are discussing this subject in two topics  I will continue this discussion on following topic. Seems to me it is off-topic. Smiley

17  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: The Most powerful tool created for monitoring and management ASIC miners on: July 06, 2021, 08:00:49 AM

Testing going well.  The dev team needed to do some tweaking due to a very recent Pi 4 hardware image, but it got updated and worked 1st try after the image update!

Even added Goldshell HS5 support in like 2 days.

Like I said in a different thread, the support / dev team is very responsive and manages expectations well!

I am liking this over other options as my miners continue to come online.

T
Thanks for your feedback here, IT is really what we need.Since we are 2 years old and people need to hear about our service.
18  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Mining Farm Software Comparison on: July 06, 2021, 07:51:24 AM
I have to say, working with the support team has been really nice.  Keep throwing curveballs at them and they keep adding and fixing!

Support for the latest Pi hardware - done
Adding Goldshell HS5 - done
Adding Luxor pools to support - in progress

I will have 2 controllers, one for my home farm and one for the colo farm.  Home farm setup and working!

So far so good!

I Am really happy that we could do our job. Adding support for new brands (new for us) is a part of our responsibilities usually it takes less than 24 hours to add support for other brands but I think our developers are a little busy at the moment. We really care about support since we think it is really important.
Thanks for your positive feedback.
19  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Mineitor|Big Update - Powerful Monitoring|Management - New Firmware Available!! on: July 06, 2021, 07:37:39 AM
So this means you are supplying a firmware that is illegal.

It violates the cgminer license (which I'm the 2nd main developer of)

... and you contacted me about using this ... and thought I might be happy that you are violating that license? Why would I be?
As I mentioned in another topic, It is part of our partnership program.
It is not our own Firmware and we don't have our Firmware so we don't own the source code, all users are free to decide if they want to use Vnish Firmware or not.

I asked the same question on that topic. since you brought up the same subject here again,
With your logic, many miner manufacturers and developers are violating CGminer License which also is connecting to your pool. so you are a supporter of them?
20  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Mining Farm Software Comparison on: July 06, 2021, 07:26:44 AM
Well they're happy to violate the license, what else might they do inside their portal ...
You are right about CGminer License. But you are wrong about what we do. It is not our own Firmware.
Actually, we don't have our Firmware so we don't own the source code to share, It is part of our partnership program, all users are free to decide if they want to use Vnish Firmware or not. It is why we called the firmware Vnish-Mineitor. So users will know this is the same firmware with Vnish.
Many users don't care If custom firmware developers share the source code or not. Vnish is respected in the community among many users. so we respected and cooperated with them.
With your logic many miner manufacturers is violating CGminer License which also is connecting to your pool. so you are the supporter of them?
