Tether solves compatibility challenges with third-party OS

Today, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino revealed that the company plans to open-source its Bitcoin mining OS (MOS). He aims to create an even playing field and close the gap between publicly traded and smaller companies. MOS is a highly scalable, resilient, and modular OS built with a peer-to-peer IoT architecture at its core. 

Ardoino said new Bitcoin mining companies will be able to enter the market and enjoy a competitive environment to keep the network safe. Third-party hosted software will no longer be required since the OS can scale from a Raspberry PI connected to several miners to full site deployments with multiple redundant mainframes monitoring a vast number of miners.

Tether targets Q4 2025 for MOS launch

The development team at Teather is currently working on documentation, user guides, and repository preparation for community access, with the release targeted for Q4 2025. According to Ardoino, MOS has built-in plugins for monitoring and interacting with many popular mining machines and vendors. The operating system can also interact with and monitor a variety of containers, such as air-cooled and immersion, multiple types of electrical equipment, and thermostats. He revealed that developers can create custom plugins for other specific equipment and contribute to the main codebase.

The CEO plans to use QuantumVerse Automatic Computer (QVAC) integration to build better reports and enhance production based on custom AI tools that learn from massive datasets generated by Mining OS. He said MOS will make life easier for small and mid-sized businesses that produce their electricity and will soon start mining with the OS. 

Tether announced QVAC last month, a development platform for Infinite Intelligence designed for humans and machines alike. QVAC enables highly scalable AI applications and agents to run directly on local devices without dependence on centralized services and cloud infrastructure. Ardoino said that AI should empower society and humanity’s next wave of growth, not delegating more control to corporations that already own servers and access keys.

The announcement came just two days after the company said it had no intention of going public. Ardoino argued that Artemis CEO Jon Ma’s valuation speculation would be too low, considering the company’s current Bitcoin and gold treasury. Ma claimed that if Tether were to go public, it would rank as the 19th largest company globally with a valuation of $515 billion, which is larger than multinational giants like Costco and Coca-Cola.

Tether solves compatibility challenges with third-party OS

Paolo Ardoino, Tether’s CEO, stated that compatibility and efficiency are notable challenges with third-party OS platforms. Some OSes, such as Hive OS, do not support older GPU models, such as Nvidia RTX series or modern AMD graphics cards, which limits their use for GPU-based mining setups. Another instance is the ASIC-specific OSes like Braiins OS, which are limited to ASIC models, excluding miners from using non-supported hardware. He believes Tether can help solve the problem by allowing developers to create specific plugins and modular support for various hardware.

Ardoino said Tether has invested $5 billion in Bitcoin mining and energy-related businesses. 

“In the last 2 years Tether Group reinvested almost 5 billion USD of its profits within the United States economy and into US-based companies. Some examples:  Rumble, Blackrock Neurotech, XXI and different Bitcoin mining ventures.”

Tether revealed last month that it will soon launch the first QVAC-based AI apps, focusing mainly on privacy preservation and self-sovereignty. The company will launch QVAC Translate, which delivers text, speech, and image translation without reliance on the cloud. QVAC Health, also set for launch, is a private wellness tracker that will keep sensitive health data locally on the device. Tether aims to use QVAC  to build the first open and universal AI agent ecosystem at the service of humans and machines. Tether’s CEO sees making MOS open-source as a way to strengthen network decentralization and security, as more participants can join the network and keep it safe.
