NiceHash, Marathon Team Up on New Miner Firmware

To increase ASIC miners‘ efficiency, NiceHash Firmware will provide cutting-edge features, including auto-tuning and intelligent heat protection.

Marathon Digital Holdings and NiceHash, a well-known Bitcoin hashing power marketplace, have teamed up to launch new custom firmware for ASIC miners on Nice Hash’s platform.

Using Marathon’s technology, the new product, NiceHash Firmware, will increase the productivity and income of Bitcoin miners who use ASIC hardware. This firmware offers miners a reduced mining fee of 2%, which decreases to 1.4% if they use NiceHash as their main mining pool.

By rewarding miners for reselling extra hashing power on its marketplace and increasing the effectiveness of their ASIC machines, NiceHash Firmware seeks to optimize its earnings.

Features like an environment profile that can be adjusted and auto-tuning make the firmware more marketable. Changes can be made using the auto-tune tool according to the hash rate target, percentage adjustment, or power target needed by the miners. The environment profile uses air, hydro, and single- or two-phase immersion cooling systems to assure compatibility with ASICs.

The firmware also has a bespoke dashboard for comprehensive ASIC performance monitoring and thermal protection to avoid overheating. Compatibility with Foreman, Awesome Miner, and NiceHash ASIC Manager will be guaranteed thanks to the relationship with Marathon.

The CEO of NiceHash, Vladimir Hozjan, emphasized the importance of this new offering in their portfolio. He declared:

“Our joint efforts will ensure we stay ahead of this rapidly evolving industry. We believe that teaming up and combining our knowledge will strengthen our position in the market, drive innovation, set new standards in the mining space, and empower miners worldwide to achieve unprecedented efficiency and profitability.”

CTO Ashu Swami of Marathon echoed this sentiment when he said:

“This collaboration enables us to bring advanced safety and optimization features to Bitcoin miners of all sizes, enhancing their performance and profitability.”
