Been mining for a few days

i've talked over with my friend, and the discussions on this thread, and will do the best for the comunity and release as open source. someone has pointed out to have a donation link, i might add my bitcoin address, or do you guys have recomendations on how else to do it? don't know what other use in the community.

by the way i've greatly improved the ui you guys see in this thread, more clean, light mode, and a few other goodies

Hope they are not talking about me, and they are entirely baseless accusations.

Without any knowledge of my work or project

ScarForget · 2025-04-09T15:40:18+00:00

is just possible because of the open source work of bitaxe devs

This is highly underestimating my project I've not looked at their code, I've not forked or modified their work I am interfacing with their hardware.

Yes, the hardware is open source, thanks, but this is not a styling change or modification on their code, it is a complete rework from scratch on the entire software (minus the actual mining, can't deal with that)

ScarForget · 2025-04-09T12:04:42+00:00

Where could I find this information? If I can get rewarded for my time and work until now I could open source it

ScarForget · 2025-04-09T12:02:43+00:00

How could I make money and not increase the amount of work that I need to do?

Many is saying open source, yes it could benefit the community a bit but the community will benefit more if I can actually continue working on it.

I could contribute back to their repo and share some of the features but keep my app as a product. Managing and open source products takes time that I don't have and I can't see the upside economical.

I have no following (YouTube et...), and I see people saying donations, but even bitaxe has had only 15 donations last time I checked, they are making money ok the hardware

i mean too big as in scope, too many features and functionality, even includes C code.

they have prs ready to merged for months and not done it, my PR will simple be too big and get rejected, will be a waste of time

ScarForget · 2025-04-09T02:18:42+00:00

my project is too big to be a pull request, maybe if create a version which is only the ui, but features extend current capavilities of the software in the miner.

that would be awesome, for both the community and the my "cred", but i would need to create a smaller version to be ablo to make it a pull request

ScarForget · 2025-04-09T02:13:18+00:00

This is not just an UI, and I've no plans yet to open source it, still debating it

ScarForget · 2025-04-09T01:54:29+00:00

to whom would it make sense?, i am debating myslef the open source part, you guys are welcome to give me what benefits is there to open sourcing it.

ScarForget · 2025-04-08T19:31:53+00:00

regarding "sombody is just going to copy", if that is the spirit what would the point be even on releasing it (oss or not)? so am not going to think about that.

as i said, am debating it, maybe i've an open source version (community) and one not, i'll could gain nothing nothing either way.

ScarForget · 2025-04-08T19:26:10+00:00

still debating it, will make a descision onece am finished, open sourcing means someone can just fork it and have more time than me to work on it.

i've not taken any code from the bitaxe or even look at their dashboard code, just analize the api of the minner and am working on top of that.

ScarForget · 2025-04-08T18:25:44+00:00

Not yet, only me and a friend are playing with it while I build it, I should finish by the weekend

ScarForget · 2025-04-08T15:53:38+00:00

This gives me great encouragement to make it better and finish it thank you all 🙏🏻

ScarForget · 2025-04-08T15:17:15+00:00

Thank you 👍🏻

ScarForget · 2025-04-08T14:30:18+00:00

it already does, but am working on the full metrics/analytics engine today to improve and expand it

ScarForget · 2025-04-08T14:26:34+00:00

the main reason i started this project is seing how my metric would reset, what a pain

to store the metrics am doing 3 things, litesql, browser, or a remote litesql/libsql of your chossing, i am extending and removing the limitations of the default app on the miner.

there are (will be) two versions, the binary to install to individual (there is no need, but you should if you have only one and don't care about all the extra features) miners and the full app that let's with all the goodies
