This is obviously false. Certain someone doesn't like people using proper firmware which doesn't infringe the gpl, or corrupt hashboard eeproms because they can't be bothered to write their own code.
If you can't read a couple of lines or ask a simple question in the group you spend all day lurking, go use the sd image from Bitmain. Too bad, you'll need to read there how to use it.
We don't write to eeproms so good try on that. We wrote the first autotuning firmware you guys then decided to copy us and copy each of our features.. So let's not start a pissing match you will surely lose.
Also, it is not false I had a client that struggled to get off of brains and ended up frying some T17's in the process. You don't see me airing this or other things out now do you. Also, it's not reading two lines you need to download some massive toolbox and then can flash. Why make it difficult to flashback to factory or another firmware why force users to use your tools in by doing so make it difficult to remove. I get at least 2 questions a day how to uninstall brains that I now have a canned response I copy paste.
Slander is not a cool way to represent your company. You should try to make your company not look bad and makeup lies and insults. I am offended and my feelings are hurt and you are misleading many of your and soon to be our customers if you keep this up.
Two hours is indeed an extreme exaggeration on teaser's side, I'd say 3-5 mins if you are a bit tech-savvy, and maybe 10-20 mins if you are a complete noob, but given that you pay 0 fees to use the original version of BraiinOS, I don't think it's something to be complaining about, however, even if with the + version (which has fees) uninstalling braiins takes the same amount of steps, I know it's just a bunch of cmd lines and a few text replacements, but one would expect to be able to migrate using no tool but the web-broswer, drag and drop their desired firmware and off they go.
I wonder if they are planning on making the uninstallation of the firmware a lot simpler to the average Joe? don't get me wrong, I do think Braiins is a great firmware regardless of what the others might say, but not everyone is comfortable with downloading a tool and using CMD just to get rid of a fee-based firmware, so maybe a bit of work should be done on the + version, the free version, however, is good enough the way it is. Just my two chips.
If they cry it's for security it's not difficult to check for bitmain's signature and our signature for flashing off.
If you use the sd card you can test it without installing it. Don't like it? take out the sd card, done. There is no need to ever install it the nand can keep the factory firmware untouched. Which other firmware lets you test it this way? All of them write to the nand, but with Braiins OS this is completely optional. Also when other firmware messes your nand (or eeprom data), guess which one can work right away? You guess it, the only one that is not a mod of someone else's work.
This gratuitous bashing of Braiins OS from a competitor clearly shows something is being done right.
That is how our firmware was loaded via SD prior to version 2. We made it flash to and because everyone ended up keeping it. Also we don't write to the eeprom that's hive/msk. Talk to Edward about this if your confused I even clarified this to him. Hence corrupt eeprom they flashed some shit firmware when the PIC can do it all. Also a mod would use the eprom. A full driver rewrite what we do and what you guys copied to get our features doesn't utilize the eeprom. The thing about bashing us is your in the wrong for stealing someone else's work and rewriting it to be your own. Think about that.
I have to disagree, I can trust my guy who takes care of the farm to be able to copy-paste a few files and paste it into an SDcard, but I would certainly not trust him with playing with command line, he sure as hell would say he can't do it, maybe because you have been doing this long enough and that is your comfort zone, it's hard for you to distinguish the difference between a simple Sdcard flash vs downloading a special tool, replacing some texts and then opening a scary black window, but if you ask average joe they will tell you it's indeed a whole different level.
That brings me to your second point which I can't tell if I agree or disagree with, the average joe should be able to do whatever they want with their mining gear, I highly doubt the process of dealing with BraiinOS was made "hard" to protect newbies from themselves, so I can't comfortably take this excuse as a "feature", installing and uninstalling BraiinOS is not simple enough, that is a fact, a simple google search will show you that people do have troubles when dealing with it, and it's frustrating that the devs went to extreme levels of writing their own code from scratch (they probably are the only once who did so) and failed to make a user-friendly firmware, which shouldn't take a fraction of the efforts invested in the making of the firmware itself.
People just assume everyone here is a fat neckbeard with cheeto crusted fingers that sits on Linux all day. Like no crypto is accepting of all people not just die hard nerds. Also people are dumb and cmd prompt is scary!!!!
