The 256 Foundation community hub. Announcements, new project ideas, open-source Bitcoin mining discussion, and anything that doesn’t fit neatly into one of the dedicated project categories.

Open-source Bitcoin mining firmware. No dev fees, no closed parameters. Run any hashboard, any control board. Read every line, modify without permission. Own your firmware. Built in Rust. GPL licensed.

Open-source multi-asic Bitcoin mining hashboard reference design. ~100W, 12–24VDC input, USB-C, 125mm × 125mm standard form factor. Fork it, build it, hack it. Part of the 256 Foundation open mining stack.
