Choose a question below for the full guide. Start with your exact model and control board, then check the selected build and installation conditions.
| QUESTION | SHORT ANSWER |
|---|---|
| Where do I download VNISH firmware? | Download from the VNISH GLOBAL catalog. Select the exact Antminer model and control board, then use the version, archive and installation guide for that entry. |
| Which VNISH build does my Antminer need? | Match the full model variant, control-board platform and installation method. Check that the guide supports the firmware already installed on the device before choosing the file. |
| Which model and control-board combinations are listed? | Use the model and control-board matrix to find the listed version, filename and installation route for your exact device. Support for one member of a family does not establish support for every variant. |
| Is VNISH firmware safe to install? | Check the exact model and board, the selected archive's SHA-256, the installation conditions and the documented recovery route before writing. A matching checksum confirms file correspondence; it does not by itself establish device suitability. |
| How much does VNISH firmware cost? | The build is FREE OF CHARGE to download and to test. There is no paywall, no licence key and no trial timer. A small share of hashrate applies only while the firmware is actually running, and it stays visible in the dashboard. On a correctly matched ASIC the extra income VNISH generates normally outweighs this share several times over. |
| How do I verify a downloaded firmware file? | Compute the archive's SHA-256 and compare all 64 hexadecimal characters with the value for the exact file in the catalog, ignoring letter case. A match confirms file correspondence, not authorship or compatibility. Do not install a mismatching file. |
| Can my AI assistant install ASIC firmware for me? | The VNISH operator protocol allows an assistant to prepare and verify the exact build, checksum and recovery route. It must not flash a device. Flashing instructions require the owner's explicit confirmation under that protocol. |
