MIUI for mining machines? Interstellar Bit's IPFS OS architecture revealed

Judging from the current stage of IPFS mining machine development, it is very similar to the early days of smartphones: each company showed off its hardware configuration to prove the strength of its products and make money with the price difference of hardware assembly! Little do people know that there is a lot of water in it. After the user purchases it, the real invisible cost of getting started is very high: the software cannot keep up (no upgrade), the experience is not good, the hardware failures are frequent, there is no effective after-sales guarantee, etc., which has harmed countless consumers.

In fact, Xiaomi, a veteran company, has done very well in this regard. Before the hardware was released, MIUI already had a complete ecosystem, and users helped to improve the functions of MIUI, which has led to the continued development of MIUI. Xiaomi phones equipped with MIUI have also been selling well from generation to generation, which proves the success of this model and users' demand for soft capabilities (experience).

In fact, there is also a "Xiaomi" in the field of IPFS mining machines, that is StarBit (official website IPFSbit.io). StarBit's IPFS OS R&D team is composed of the original R&D team of the Ubuntu system, and has very rich experience in the Linux field, and IPFS OS is developed based on Linux. As we all know, because of the characteristics of Linux's stability, low cost, and low power consumption, more than 95% of the world's servers use Linux, which is enough to verify the popularity of the system on the server side.

Interstellar Bit has put a lot of effort into the research and development of IPFS OS, which can be said to be the best optimized IPFS mining machine operating system in the IPFS field. IPFS OS has made many optimizations for mining machines to allow the IPFS protocol to run in the best state. For example, CPU load capacity balance, network throughput optimization, hard disk read and write frequency and erase and write balance, etc.

In addition, IPFS OS also has hardware monitoring analysis and early warning functions, which can help you monitor the operating status of the mining machine 24 hours a day to ensure the security of the pledged tokens. It also realizes functions such as one-click mining, reducing the user's participation cost.

Currently, the first generation of mining machine Hummingbird H1 equipped with IPFS OS is about to start pre-sale. The mining machine has been deeply optimized in the integration of software and hardware, supports 20TB hard disk expansion, noise <30db, and annual power consumption will not exceed 150 yuan. It can be said to be the best optimized IPFS mining machine at present. In addition, the price is only 1999 yuan, which is much lower than other mining machine products. Currently, StarBit plans to start pre-sale in early April. If you are interested, it is recommended to pay more attention.
