Stablecoin issuer Tether has introducied its open-source Bitcoin mining software to simplify and enhance mining for all levels, from hobbyists to large institutions.

In a recent announcement on X, Tether revealed the launch of MiningOS (MOS), a modular and scalable operating system that fosters transparency and collaboration in the Bitcoin mining infrastructure. Tether stated,

“The mining industry has long been limited by closed systems and proprietary tools. MiningOS changes that — introducing transparency, openness, and collaboration into the core of Bitcoin infrastructure.”

They emphasized,

“No black boxes. No lock-in. No Limits.”

MiningOS features a self-hosted architecture that works via a peer-to-peer network, enabling miners to adjust settings to meet various scales and output needs.

Paolo Ardoino, Tether’s CEO, referred to MiningOS as a comprehensive platform that can scale from personal setups to industrial operations across multiple regions. Tether’s initiative aims to empower new miners to participate competitively, reducing dependency on pricey third-party systems.

With the announcement, Tether joins the ranks of other significant players in the crypto realm, such as Jack Dorsey’s Block, but offers compatibility across diverse infrastructures unlike Block’s solutions.

MiningOS is open-sourced under the Apache 2.0 License, promoting free use and collaboration. Tether continues to expand its ventures beyond stablecoins, indicating a shift towards investments in areas like tokenization and decentralized finance.
