Monitor Bitcoin miners and get email alerts when one goes down

Every 30 minutes, the system checks your Bitcoin mining pools and emails you if a miner drops offline or hash rate falls.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats retry failed status check; runs once per one per mining location; a person is alerted when a step fails.

Pattern: Structured Loop (21) ยท Multiple Instances without Synchronization (12)

The problem it solves

If a miner goes offline or a pool connection drops, every minute it sits idle is lost revenue. Checking dashboards manually across multiple mining locations is tedious, and it's easy to miss a problem until hours have passed.

Who it fits

Solo Bitcoin miners running rigs across one or more locations or pools.

How it works

  1. Every 30 minutes, the system pings each configured mining location
  2. It checks the pool's status for hash rate and active miner count
  3. If a check fails, it retries and tracks the failure count before escalating
  4. Persistent failures or a block find trigger a formatted email alert with status details and a dashboard link
What you get

Mining downtime caught within thirty minutes

You get an email alert the moment a miner drops offline or hash rate falls, so you can respond before you lose more time.

What you get

An email alert with miner status, debug details, and a dashboard link whenever something needs attention.

What you need

Access to your mining pool APIs and a Gmail account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
