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, 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. SoloOps Pro adds room to grow your fleet and organize a more serious home mining setup. Permanent Pro pricing is $1.49/month for Monthly Pro, $13.49/year for Yearly Pro, or $24.99 lifetime for Lifetime Pro, and Apple In-App Purchase shows the final localized price before checkout. Monthly and yearly plans auto-renew until cancelled. 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.
