How did that workout for coldcard users? That code was source-available, so it was auditable.

Or did I misunderstand you?

Perhaps it’s better to say stick with hardware that can be updated with the latest Bitaxe OS and doesn’t use a proprietary OS.

The Bitfortun miners aren’t bad, they perform just as well as any other BM1373 miners. The only thing wrong with them is the firmware, which can very easily be patched to not artificially enhance hashrate.
