Template 01: Miner Profitability Monitor

Watches hashprice, difficulty and your power cost, and tells you when it's time to throttle, power down, or look at a different pool.

Who it's for

Home and small-farm bitcoin miners running anywhere from one ASIC to a few hundred. You know your machines and your power rate, but you don't want to sit on dashboards all day doing break-even math.

What it does

• Pulls live network data: hashrate, difficulty, the next difficulty adjustment estimate, and the last 144 blocks of rewards (subsidy + fees).
• Pulls the live BTC price.
• Works out hashprice (USD earned per TH/s per day) and your daily revenue, power cost and profit, using your fleet's hashrate, wattage, pool fee and $/kWh.
• Works out your break-even power price: the most you can pay per kWh and still make money.
• Sends you an alert only when something matters:
• THROTTLE / POWER DOWN: margin falls below your threshold (default 10%) or goes negative.
• HEADS-UP: the next difficulty adjustment is estimated at +3% or more, and that would push you under your threshold.
• CHECK YOUR POOL: your pool's effective payout per TH is noticeably below what network hashprice says it should be (you enter your pool payouts; the agent compares).
• GOOD NEWS: margin recovers above threshold after a throttle alert, so you can power back up.
• Otherwise, a short daily status line.

It advises only. It never touches your miners, pool account or wallet.
