Live web dashboard
Hashrate, accepted and rejected shares, history, settings and pool diagnostics from your browser.
Signed automatic updates
Stable by default, beta by choice. Signed updates run on trial and roll back if they fail.
Alerts
ntfy, Discord or Telegram webhooks: best shares, low hashrate, a daily summary and, who knows, a block.
Home Assistant
MQTT discovery with controls, and Prometheus metrics for your own graphs.
Configurable screens

ASIC boards too
Experimental support for the Bitaxe Gamma 601 and the NerdNOS, from hundreds of GH/s up to about 1 TH/s.
