ePIC Blockchain Unveils UMC OS and AltairOS for Bitcoin Mining

In a major development for the cryptocurrency mining sector, ePIC Blockchain has introduced two innovative firmware options, UMC OS and AltairOS, designed for Bitcoin miners of all scales. This release marks a significant leap forward in mining efficiency, offering tailored solutions for institutional and retail users alike.

What Are UMC OS and AltairOS?

Both UMC OS and AltairOS are built on the solid technology foundation of ePIC’s Universal Mining Controller (UMC). These firmware solutions cater to various types of Bitcoin mining machines, notably the S19J and newer models, which include air-cooled units and those adapted for immersion cooling.

AltairOS: Designed for the Everyday Miner

AltairOS specifically targets home miners and Bitcoin enthusiasts. It aims to enhance the mining experience by providing an accessible interface and improved functionalities. Key features include a relatively low developer fee of 2.2%, which allows users to leverage the full suite of ePIC’s firmware capabilities without breaking the bank.

Aviral Shukla, the founder of Altair Technology, expressed his excitement about the launch, stating, "We’re thrilled to bring more firmware options to the broader mining community. AltairOS gives everyday miners the tools they need to improve efficiency, gain insight, and stay competitive—without needing to invest in new hardware."

UMC OS: Tailored for Institutional Miners

On the other hand, UMC OS is designed for larger operations and institutions. It offers the same comprehensive features as AltairOS but is tailored for scalability. UMC OS comes with a slightly higher developer fee of 2.5% and presents a trial licensing option for enterprises interested in implementing large-scale Bitcoin mining solutions. Earl Mai, CTO of ePIC Blockchain, emphasized, "UMC OS is designed to scale. Whether you’re running hundreds or thousands of machines, our firmware delivers precise control and operational resilience. It’s firmware built for the future of institutional mining."

Unified Features Across Both Firmware Solutions

The introduction of both firmware solutions does not only focus on their target audiences but also ensures a unified feature set designed to enhance operational efficiency. Key features across both AltairOS and UMC OS include:

• - Perpetual Tune: Continual optimization of mining performance.
• - Temperature-aware Auto-throttling: Advanced thermal management to prevent overheating and enhance equipment longevity.
• - Detailed Diagnostics: Insightful chip-level diagnostics for troubleshooting and optimizing mining setups.
• - Intuitive Web-based GUI: A user-friendly interface that simplifies mining operations.
• - SD Card Installation: Currently supports AMLogic control boards, with expanded compatibility expected soon.

Conclusion

The launch of UMC OS and AltairOS represents a pivotal moment for miners seeking reliable and high-performance firmware solutions. Whether you’re a solo miner operating from home or part of a larger institutional entity, ePIC Blockchain's new offerings cater to a wide spectrum of needs, ensuring that everyone can maximize their mining efficiency and profitability.
