FARMGOD
Knowledge base
ASIC mining in plain words: the miners, their firmware and algorithms, and the tools that run a fleet. Each page explains a term, shows what FARMGOD does with it and links the articles that go deeper.
Basics
ASIC miner
An ASIC miner is a computer built for one job: computing a single mining algorithm as fast and as efficiently as possible. What is inside one, and how FARMGOD keeps a whole fleet of them in view.
14 articlesFleet management
Fleet management software reads every miner of a farm, shows which ones need attention and lets you act on many at once. What it has to do, and how FARMGOD does it.
10 articlesHashrate
Hashrate is how many hashes a miner computes per second, and the number every mining income starts from. Its units, why it differs from what the pool credits, and how FARMGOD shows it.
3 articlesHome mining

VolcMiner's D1 line mines Scrypt: the D1, D1 Lite, the hydro-cooled D1 Hydro and the small D1 Mini Pre. What FARMGOD does with them.
1 articleWhatsminer
Whatsminer is MicroBT's line of SHA-256 miners. FARMGOD knows every hardware revision by name and brings the Whatsminer's own tools to the dashboard.
3 articlesFirmware
Braiins OS
Braiins OS is the mining firmware from Braiins, for Antminers and for Braiins' own mini miners. FARMGOD manages miners on Braiins OS and shows them in more chip detail than any other firmware.
3 articlesePIC
ePIC is a custom firmware for Antminers. FARMGOD recognises miners running it, reads them like any other miner and brings their actions to the dashboard.
1 articleFarmGod firmware
FarmGod is FARMGOD's own custom firmware for Whatsminers. It lets you overclock a machine when mining pays well and underclock it when margins are thin, so a fleet stays competitive in a bear market too.
MaraFW
MaraFW is the firmware of the mining company MARA, running on Bitmain hardware. FARMGOD recognises it, reads its telemetry and can sleep, wake and curtail the miners.
1 articleStock firmware
Stock firmware is the software a manufacturer installs on its miners. What FARMGOD does with miners on stock firmware, and when a custom firmware makes a difference.
2 articlesVNish
VNish is one of the most widely used custom firmwares for Antminers. FARMGOD reads and manages Antminers on VNish, down to the hashrate of every single chip.
2 articlesAlgorithms
Blake2b
Blake2b is the algorithm Siacoin is mined with. FARMGOD supports Goldshell's HS5, SC5 Pro II and SC6 SE.
1 articleEaglesong
Eaglesong is the algorithm behind Nervos CKB. FARMGOD supports the miner built for it, Bitmain's Antminer K7.
1 articleEquihash
Equihash is the algorithm behind Zcash. Its miners are counted in solutions, not hashes. FARMGOD supports Bitmain's Antminer Z11 and the Z15 family.
1 articlekHeavyHash
kHeavyHash is the algorithm Kaspa is mined with. FARMGOD supports Bitmain's Antminer KS5 and KS5 Pro and shows them in the units kHeavyHash is measured in.
1 articleScrypt
Scrypt is the algorithm behind Litecoin and Dogecoin, which are mined together on the same machines. The Scrypt miners FARMGOD supports, and what it does with them.
4 articlesSHA-256
SHA-256 is the hash algorithm Bitcoin is mined with, and the one most ASIC miners in the world are built for. Which SHA-256 miners FARMGOD supports and what it shows for them.
11 articlesFARMGOD features
AI
FARMGOD's AI reads a miner's live stats, settings and history, says what looks wrong and answers questions in plain language: in the AI Cockpit, as a scheduled audit and as a support assistant.
3 articlesAutomation
FARMGOD's Automation reacts on its own when a miner stops hashing, runs hot, falls behind or loses a board or a fan, and brings it back to normal afterwards.
1 articleBoard and chip detail
FARMGOD opens a miner's hashboards down to the single chip: hashrate, frequency, errors and temperatures, read live from the miner. On stock firmware, VNish, Braiins OS and Auradine.
3 articlesCurtailment
Curtailment means slowing or stopping miners on purpose, when electricity is expensive or the grid needs the power. How FARMGOD does it automatically, by price, by schedule or by hashprice.
3 articlesFARMGOD.OS
FARMGOD.OS is a small operating system that turns any spare PC into the on-site part of FARMGOD: start it from a USB stick, and your miners show up on your dashboard.
2 articlesFleet Health
FARMGOD's Fleet Health dashboard sorts what is wrong in a mining fleet into tables of their own: not hashing, low performance, chip and board faults, fans, temperatures and pools.

Host miners for other people with FARMGOD on a Private VPS: a login for every customer that shows only their own machines, hardware that stays with its owner, and bills worked out from measured data.
3 articlesPool management
A miner earns nothing while it hashes for the wrong pool, or for none. FARMGOD sets pools for a whole fleet, corrects drifting worker names and shows which miners have fallen back to a backup pool.
