Contribute to DCENT_OS & the D-Central Open-Source Stack

We build on open protocols and open predecessors, so our own firmware and tools are open too. If you want to shape where DCENT_OS goes, the door is open — and being early is an advantage, not a barrier.

The repos

Everything lives under github.com/DCentralTech, GPL-3.0:

• DCENT_OS — open mining firmware for ESP32-S3 (Bitaxe-class) miners.
• DCENT_Toolbox — the companion flashing / monitoring / control tooling.
• DCENT_axe · Voice · Torrent — the wider sovereign-stack projects.

How to send a change

1. Read the repo’s CONTRIBUTING.md and CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md — and GOVERNANCE.md / SECURITY.md if your change touches process or security.
2. Fork the repo and clone your fork, then branch off main:

git clone https://github.com/<you>/DCENT_OS
cd DCENT_OS
git checkout -b my-fix

3. Build and test it yourself — the README has a tiered “test it yourself” path and platform docs. If you can flash it in the browser at /flash/, you can validate a firmware change end-to-end.
4. Commit, push your branch, and open a pull request against main describing what and why.
5. Found a bug you can’t fix? Open an issue on the repo — a clear, reproducible report is a real contribution.

Licensing & credit

DCENT_OS is GPL-3.0: contributions are licensed under the same terms as the project (inbound = outbound), and upstream projects we build on are credited in each repo’s THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md. Security issues: use the repo’s SECURITY.md process rather than a public issue. Not a coder? The most useful non-code contribution is a precise bug report or a field report from real hardware.
