Hello all,

My first question is, which website is the official website that anyone interested in Vnish should visit? I've seen several websites claiming to be the official Vnish website and it's kind of sketchy, I just want to be sure.

My second question and more importantly, does Vnish use the same CGMiner API format that stock Antminer firmware and several other third-party firmwares use?

Any help would be much appreciated.

For the most part, yes it does tho they've added switches for their code.
Along that line, Vnish violates the cgminer open-source GPL. Vnish is a hacked version of cgminer. They hacked the code and made their version of it closed source.

I downloaded Vnish firmware from many sites that call themselves official.
The Devfee percentage varies everywhere. I downloaded the firmware with 2.8% Devfee from the site https://vnish.pro
On other sites that claim to be official, the percentage is much higher, sometimes reaching up to 7%

Whomever you get it from can charge the fools who download it whatever they want to. Vnish sets no fixed price.
