  • Improved: Improved firmware loading process, requiring NiceHashTools v1.1 and up
  • Improved: Improved tuning algorithm, efficiency and safety checks
  • Improved: Allows miners to boot and initialise when one or more dashboards have EEPROM errors
  • Improved: Miners with only 1 working fan will enter sleep mode automatically after reboot to avoid hardware damage
  • Improved: Miners with only 2 working fans will mine at half hashrate to avoid hardware damage
  • Improved: Miners start to mine during the preheat phase, utilizing the power more effectively
  • Improved: Miner will load the previous tuning profile after a reboot. In case the resulting hashrate is low, an automatic re-tune is triggered
  • Improved: Minor UI/UX improvements
  • Fixed: Pool settings are correctly restored when uninstalling NiceHash Firmware
  • Fixed: LED indicator now more closely matches stock behaviour

  • Added: Support for S21 BHB68606 variant
  • Added: Option to stop mining in case all pools are dead to conserve power. Mining will automatically resume once at least one pool becomes available
