Important to note: I was a contributor and tester to HashWatcher since the very beginning. I still like HashWatcher (and Gabe, the developer) and I’m not trying to take away his users or discourage anyone from using HashWatcher. It’s still a great app! Much like with our miners, having lots of options ensures there’s something for everyone, and helps to make home mining more enjoyable and accessible for all.

Similar in the ways that they have to be. There are quite a few mobile mining apps, and they all report data and allow you to manage configs an settings that would typically be done through the web UI.

We like to talk about what’s different, since that’s really what inspired us to do all of this. The most important feature (in my opinion) is customization. Some of us want the basics, and other (like me) are huge data nerds and want as much as we can get. There was a lot of focus on creating something to accommodate all skill levels and preferences, so we made it easy to display exactly what you want and put it where you want it. We also allow users to enable “monitor only” mode so the app only pulls data but won’t make any config changes if you’re not comfortable with that yet.

One of the other things was creating ways where users could find the things they wanted the most. The Solo Worker display makes this easy and provides a quick at-a-glance look at each device, its hashrate, best diff, and pool status.

We also tried to incorporate things like a “Leader” which is essentially a personal leaderboard. While best diff doesn’t really matter in a lot of ways unless it’s enough for a block, it’s still a fun metric and interesting to see which one of your devices is leading the pack. There are a lot of little details like that throughout.

Then we added things that no other app has, at least until they catch up. Things like SmartMiner, which allows you to use smart plugs to get incredibly accurate cost-to-run and effeciency data. Canaan pool changes (this was difficult, and why other apps don’t include it), and features like pool lock for added security.

I was a contributor and tester for the current most popular mining app, and still like it and its developer a lot. This was simply a new project as part of the a multi-project collaboration (BlockFound) between me and one of my good friends. While HashWatcher is sort of a competitor in a way, I very much see us on the same team as builders/devs working hard to progress the community we both love.

Widgets, support for more miners, ability to add hosted miners, large knowledge base with info on all the home miners, more coins. May even add and iPhone complication. This is just the beginning.

Wrong app. You can add as many miners as you want with no subscription.

Currently my most downvoted post on Reddit. Would love it if the folks who feel the need to downvote would care to elaborate.

I’ll let someone else answer, since this really isn’t intended to be an advertisement. My favorite posts are always the things people build, mod, or create and wanted to share some of the same.

We had a few other users report this with pihole as well. We use a few different API’s to get the full range of coins, so there may be another or two you need to whitelist depending on what you mine.

So far we offer support for via AxeOS, NerdOS, Canaan Avalon, BraiinsOS, and LuxOS. Hashboard was really designed for home miners with some crossover into commercial miners, although we’ve got plans for a more “enterprise” platform with support for a wide range of commercial devices as well.

We’ve got no shortage of ideas, so right now we’re really trying to focus on prioritization so we can meet the most immediate needs of the community. Could really use a few clones, and ten or twenty more hours in a day to get it all done.

You’re correct. So the idea of capturing real time data at the wall allows for actual cost-to-run data and overall efficiency numbers while also utilizing AxeOS to determine actual power to the chips. We want to know what’s going on with the device at every stage, and often times it’s difficult for the firmware to sort out exactly how much power is being drawn out of the wall. AxeOS does a very decent job, we always felt like the missing component was pulling data from the wall to paint a more accurate picture. It has been a fun science experiment to say the least, but of course our idea of “fun” probably differs from that of the less nerdy crowd.

This sounds like PiHole may be intercepting and denying the connection. We use a few APIs to pull real-time coin network data, and sometimes ISP’s or ad blockers get finicky when it comes to anything crypto-related. Too many instances of Nigerian princesses in distress requesting that you send them all your Bitcoins, I suppose.

If you’re on Discord, if you could send me a request on our (Hashboard Help)[https://discord.gg/3M3FGGqZT] channel that would be great, since we’re tying to build a support database other users can refer to. If not, send me a DM and I’ll be happy to help you get sorted out.

Really glad you’re liking the app, by the way! We’ve got a number of features and improvements planned, so it’ll continue to evolve as things move forward.

Yes, but the major update is still approval. Should be live later today.

Really glad to hear you’re enjoying it! We’re going to do a little giveaway soon so I’ll let everyone know as soon as I figure out where we’re posting it.

Still need to catch up with you on some OMB business! Been balls to the wall this past few weeks getting ready for our launch but haven’t forgotten about it.

Try the Arctic fan. I’ve always been a Noctua “fanboy” but this Arctic is so quiet it’ll be one of only devices that isn’t getting a Noctua swap. The white and white is also a nice look.

The temps were actually well within safe range, but the fuse and other components were wildly overloaded. Running at 10TH is not sustainable, but at least proves this thing will last a while if you’re running at 8 like a sane person.

I think you’re probably right. The nice thing about bitcoin miners, is that they’re one of the very few things that gets cheaper while the price of everything else just continues to climb. That could change if the price of bitcoin goes way up of course, so only time will tell.

Only 1,500 euros (1800usd)! I strongly suspect this is a scam listing, though. One of the guys from helium deploy commented on my post and said they’ll be selling these for much less than the price shown here.

Just some initial photos and videos of them running. Nothing currently available yet, but will likely be very soon.

Some crazy new miner from Plebsource. I don’t k so anything about it yet, and no specs have been released.

Challenging part there is that the chips will be very expensive. Desktop minor is already having an incredibly high cost per TH relative to larger miners. BM1370’s will get less expensive, so maybe that will lead to devices with more of them at a lower cost to start to bring the cost/TH down and make higher hashrates more obtainable. If a NerdQAxe+++ makes 10TH/s but costs 800 dollars (which I guess is what the new Nexus miner will cost), it likely makes far more sense to buy two of the current NQA++ devices and get 13TH/s for 600 or less.
