furthermore, if you are looking for distributed cracking, you better consider using hashtopolis or similars (hashtopolis also has support for brain features as far as I know).
brain is not meant to distribute work across different systems/rigs, it's just a nice feature to avoid redundant work without any further complications (like checking and syncing dicts etc... which wrappers like hashtopolis are able to do). That's very, very different approaches and features, but sadly a lot of users seem to not understand the differences and mix them up.
For instance, hashcat has a built-in feature called outfile, which is able to remove hashes while cracking, which can be used by wrappers, but also directly together with the brain feature.... but brain is not meant to do ALL things in one... it is specialized at doing one specific thing very fast, i.e. avoid doing the same attack/password check for (very) slow hashes.
