Build Custom Bitcoin Mining Unit (Software + Firmware + Pool Integration + Monitoring Dashboard) Description Hi, I’m building a new BTC mining unit and I’m looking for an experienced engineer/team to develop the full system, including: Mining software integration (BTC / Stratum / pool connectivity) Firmware / controller software Performance monitoring + dashboard Stable hashrate operation + auto recovery Secure configuration + system reliability This project is not a simple script — I need someone who truly understands mining architecture, embedded systems, and production-ready engineering. Main Responsibilities Design and implement mining system software Integrate with Bitcoin mining pools using Stratum protocol Build configuration system (pool URL, worker name, etc.) Implement watchdog + stability systems (auto restart on failure) Provide monitoring metrics: Hashrate (real-time + avg) Temperature sensors Fan speed control Power usage (if available) Logs/errors Create a basic management dashboard (web UI or local UI) Tech Requirements (Preferred) Strong experience with BTC mining / Stratum Embedded Linux experience (Raspberry Pi / ARM boards / OpenWRT / custom controller boards) C/C++ and/or Python/Go (depending on approach) Experience with cgminer/bfgminer forks is a plus API development + dashboard (Node.js / Python / React / Vue — flexible) Deliverables Working mining unit controller software Pool integration + stable share submission Monitoring dashboard/UI Auto recovery + logging system Full documentation for setup + deployment Source code in Git + clean structure Testing report (24–72 hour stability run) To Apply, Please Answer Have you worked on Bitcoin mining software or Stratum integrations before? Show examples. What mining software approach would you use (custom vs cgminer-based)? What hardware/controller platform do you recommend and why? Timeline estimate + cost estimate What risks do you see in this project? Budget Open to offers — please propose based on scope and timeline. This can be milestone-based payment. Notes I want clean, maintainable, production-grade code NDA can be signed if needed Long-term support and future improvements possible 5) Smart Upgrade: Add milestones (this increases success massively) Here’s a milestone plan you can paste into Freelancer too: Milestone 1: Architecture + hardware/controller plan + mining flow design Milestone 2: Pool integration + Stratum working + share submission Milestone 3: Monitoring metrics + local API Milestone 4: Dashboard UI + remote config Milestone 5: Watchdog + long-run stability testing Milestone 6: Documentation + final delivery 6) Quick warnings (so you don’t hire the wrong person) Red flags: “Yes I can do it” but no mining/pool/Stratum experience No discussion of stability, thermal control, watchdog Wants full money upfront Won’t use Git or provide documentation Green flags: Talks about Stratum versions, pool difficulty, share validation Mentions long-run testing and failure handling Asks about your target hashrate/power/cooling constraints Proposes milestone delivery
