Q&A

Anyone still running PiMP OS v1.x with older hardware?

Any thoughts about the name change topic of last week?

• Considering changing PiMP OS (Portable Instant Mining Platform) --> PUMP OS (Premium Universal Mining Platform)
• Some may be offended by the current name.
• Some may not take it seriously because ot the current name.

What's everyone mining right now?

• Doc's on LOKI
• Melt's playing on some ETH and some LOKI, too.
