SoloOps is a local-first companion for home mining hardware and solo-miner setups. Discover and monitor supported miners on your own Wi-Fi or LAN, understand fleet health at a glance, and manage compatible hardware without turning your phone into a miner, exchange, or cloud-mining service. Open SoloOps to a live fleet dashboard with hashrate chart timeframes, active miners, best difficulty, best share this session, power, monthly cost estimates, per-coin monthly odds, and needs-attention alerts. Miner names, hashrate, and best difficulty are shown in compact rows built for quick scanning. The Devices screen brings live hashrate, error rate, ASIC and VR temperatures, fans, efficiency, best/session difficulty, estimated electricity cost, and monthly odds into compact, readable rows. Tap a miner for a detailed chart and controls that appear only when its firmware reports support for them. Add Miner can scan up to 254 addresses on your local network or connect directly to a private IP address. Native HTTP and TCP bridges help identify supported AxeOS/Bitaxe, NerdAxe, Harlo Labs OS, Hammer, Canaan/Avalon, Antminer/cgminer-style, Braiins OS, LuxOS, Bitdsk, FutureBit, Lucky Miner, and NMMiner devices. Exact telemetry and controls depend on model, firmware, and local API availability. The dedicated Solo Pool tab can monitor a user-operated local Stratum OS or Umbrel solo-pool endpoint. SoloOps can recognize private pool addresses reported by connected miners, bundle miners sharing the same IP and Stratum port, and offer a one-tap way to add that endpoint to the local dashboard. Users remain responsible for choosing, configuring, securing, and operating their pool. SoloOps Pro adds room to grow your fleet and organize a more serious home mining setup. The app loads each plan's current localized price directly from Apple StoreKit and Apple confirms that price before checkout. Monthly and yearly plans auto-renew until cancelled; Lifetime Pro is a one-time purchase. SoloOps is built around safety and trust: - No phone mining. - No hidden mining. - No private key or seed phrase collection. - No custody of funds. - Read-only miner monitoring by default. - Advanced miner controls require supported firmware and explicit confirmation. Mining rewards are not guaranteed. SoloOps may show odds and cost estimates for education and planning only. It is not financial advice and does not promise earnings, payouts, profit, or block wins.

About

Bitcoin Research Tool

Features
Read full description

Bitcoin Research Tool is a fast, privacy-first cryptographic puzzle tool built for exploring publicly known Bitcoin puzzle ranges. Run local hunts, test partial-key templates, convert between key formats, and keep every discovery organized on your device. The app is designed for speed, clarity, and control — without requiring an account. CORE TOOLS • Live Board: browse active puzzle targets and track progress. • Template Mining: keep known characters fixed while wildcards search the missing parts. • Sequential and Random Scan Modes: explore ranges in the way that fits your strategy. • Kangaroo Solver: use an advanced engine for supported pubkey puzzles. • Universal Converter: move between private key, public key, address, WIF, HEX, and decimal formats. • Win Vault: save found keys and review them later. • Bitcoin Tracking: a live price dashboard, price alerts, address watch, puzzle watch, and network data, with every card exportable as an image, PDF, or CSV. • Balance Checker: check public balance information when you are online, or import a whole address list and check it in one go. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Sign in with Apple is optional. You can continue without an account and start hunting immediately. Your private keys are processed locally and never leave this device. WORK OFFLINE Mining, conversion, and vault access continue to work without a network connection. Balance checks, tracking, and live price information require internet access. PREMIUM Premium unlocks advanced template mining, the kangaroo solver, and random scan mode with a single one-time purchase — no subscription, no recurring charges. Premium expands the available tools; it never changes the mathematical odds and never guarantees a result. IMPORTANT Bitcoin Research Tool is not a wallet, exchange, gambling, custodial service, trading platform, or Bitcoin network mining pool. It is a cryptographic puzzle utility for challenges and keys you are authorized to access. Results are never guaranteed, and puzzle balances may change at any time.
