[ANN][Mining OS] Cowry - OS for mining and for AI/Machine Learning marketplace

What is the Cowry OS?

Cowry OS is a monitoring and management platform for mining rigs. You can see and configure all your rigs in one place, monitor hashrates, online status, GPU errors, reboot them, etc

Features:

Remote management of rigs from the web(setting OC settings, target temperature, fan speed, etc)
Reporting of hashrate, card temperatures etc
Watchdogs (auto-restart of miner or system in case of an error)


We will also release an Android and iOS app in the coming weeks.

And probably our biggest feature is a platform for AI researchers where they will be able to rent GPUs from users running the Cowry OS. The system will automatically allocate the GPUs to a potential renter and it will allow miners to make 2-3x more than just mining coins(even more when prices are down). This is still in the making, but should be release in a few months.

thank you man
i want ask you if your OS support all gpus

i test simple mining it support amd alone or gtx alone

is your OS can run all gpus together ?

Interesting but, RX Vega are not supported right?

You can run a mixed setup with Cowry, but in my experience that will have weird issues down the road. I have a mixed test rig, and Claymore freezes sometimes out of the blue.

Interesting but, RX Vega are not supported right?

Correct, we don't support Vega cards yet.

Interesting! Do I need to install any driver or mining app after I burn the pendrive? I have some p104 is there a support for those cards?

Drivers are pre-installed and miners are also and we regularly update the miners remotely.
p104 cards are supported as well.

[Lio78]

Have you any ETA for support RX VEGA?

[gregmolnar]

Have you any ETA for support RX VEGA?

The issue is the broken driver from AMD. If they fix it, it will work but I don't foresee when will we have time to investigate the issue with the driver.

Thanks mate!
I will give a try soon

I don't have a Apple but if you need beta tester for Android please let me know. 

[gregmolnar]

Sure, you can access the beta version of the app here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.evolutionsoft.cowry
But you still need to signup through the website then you can sign in to the mobile app. Let me know how it goes if you give it a try.

What sort of demand do you anticipate from business trying to outsource their ML applications?

If your OS can broker our CUDA supply with this demand, it would be a game changer--it is difficult for the average miner to connect with this sector. They often have other hardware requirements RAM / CPU etc. significantly higher than the average mining rig, making it difficult for most miners to rent to them.

In the first look it's going to be very useful app! I can see every single cards hashrate, temperature and I can make a full setting in there, I just love it!
The OC settings a bit difficult for me and I missing a push notification.

To be honest it is hard to guess the demand, but if I take into account that AI/ML is growing like insane and the fact we could be a lot cheaper than AWS/nvidia and alike, and in our setup the researcher can do whatever they want on their machine and just use the remote GPUs to train and sample the model, while keeping everything on their machine, I expect them prefer os over the competitors.

I am glad you like it. The push notifications should be ready soon.

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

[LukasOzovic]

Should I download and burn this new ISO or can I use the previous verson?

[gregmolnar]

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

[LukasOzovic]

And how can I upgrade the os to the new version?

[gregmolnar]

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