Tether Open-Sources MiningOS, a Self-Hosted Bitcoin Mining Stack

Released under the Apache 2.0 license, the system targets vendor lock-in by emphasizing transparent, local control.

Overview

  • CEO Paolo Ardoino announced on Feb. 3 that MiningOS is fully open source, following its Feb. 2 unveiling at the Plan ₿ Forum in San Salvador.
  • MOS is modular and hardware-agnostic, scaling from single home rigs to multi-site industrial farms with local deployment.
  • The stack uses Holepunch-based peer-to-peer encrypted networking to operate without centralized servers or third-party services.
  • Operators get a unified dashboard to track hashrate, device health, energy consumption, cooling systems, and site operations.
  • Tether is preparing a Mining SDK shaped with community input, positioning MOS as a free alternative to proprietary platforms such as Hive OS and Foreman.
