Tether Wins Mining Industry Support For Its Open Automation Toolkit

Tether is trying to make Bitcoin mining equipment easier to operate as one system. Its October 24 announcement brings 15 industry participants behind an open software framework, shifting the focus from buying more machines to making existing infrastructure work together. Tether’s announcement names participants including Bitdeer, Bitmain, Canaan, MicroBT, Foundry and Block’s Proto. Their commitment is to build and maintain integrations. It is not a disclosed purchase order, a new Bitcoin reserve or evidence that every participating company has already converted its mining sites.
