Preflight

Checks the machine before anything installs.

Your address becomes your dashboard

The address above loads your workers, hashrate, shares, mined BTX, pending payout, and fees.

The page, API, stratum endpoint, and full node are active.

Node setup Not required

Users only run the miner. BTX Start operates the service side.

Fee 0% first 7d

First seven days are fee-free. The modeled pool fee applies afterward.

Keep the first step simple. Use these tools when you want faster hardware, yield estimates, setup help, or fee transparency.

New miner questions BTX, wallets, nodes, and rewards explained.

What is BTX / Bitcore mining?

BTX mining secures the BTX network with MatMul proof-of-work. The goal of this page is to make wallet setup, Mac and Windows setup, GPU selection, and service status understandable in one place.

Do I need to run a BTX node?

BTX Start is being built so users only run the miner while the service side handles the backend. The status area shows whether managed mining through BTX Start is live.

Can I use a Mac or Windows PC?

Yes. Apple Silicon Macs use the Mac path with a local Metal-capable solver. Windows NVIDIA PCs use Ubuntu under WSL2 and should verify nvidia-smi before installing.

Where do rewards go?

Users enter their own BTX payout address. BTX Start does not ask for wallet private keys and does not custody a user's personal wallet.

Local machine setup Mac and Windows paths when the main command needs more context.
Mac users Apple Silicon Mac

Use Terminal, a local Metal-capable solver, then the Mac commands below.

Full Mac guide
Windows users Windows + WSL2

Install Ubuntu under WSL2, confirm nvidia-smi, then run the commands below inside Ubuntu.

Full Windows guide
Mac commands Run in Terminal.

1. Mac preflight

Checks the local solver path before installing.

curl -fsSL https://drinknile.com/install.sh | bash -s -- --preflight --worker 'mac-ultra' --solver-backend metal --local-solver "$HOME/.dexbtx-miner/bin/btx-gbt-solve" --trust-local-solver

2. Mac install

Uses your address and local Metal solver.

curl -fsSL https://drinknile.com/install.sh | bash -s -- --address 'btx1z...YOUR_BTX_ADDRESS...' --worker 'mac-ultra' --solver-backend metal --local-solver "$HOME/.dexbtx-miner/bin/btx-gbt-solve" --trust-local-solver
Windows commands PowerShell first, Ubuntu after.

1. Install Ubuntu WSL2

Run once in PowerShell.

wsl --install -d Ubuntu

2. Windows WSL preflight

Run inside Ubuntu, not PowerShell.

curl -fsSL https://drinknile.com/install.sh | bash -s -- --preflight --worker 'windows'

3. Windows WSL install

Run after preflight passes.

curl -fsSL https://drinknile.com/install.sh | bash -s -- --address 'btx1z...YOUR_BTX_ADDRESS...' --worker 'windows'
Browser dashboard key btx1z...your_address.default

The dashboard groups rigs by payout address and worker label.

Wallet view Check the wallet that owns your BTX address

The page shows pool-side shares and pending payout. Your wallet remains self-custodied.

No terminal watching Refresh on page

Once mining is live, accepted shares and worker activity appear in the personal dashboard.

Use the backend node and scantxoutset so balances do not depend on explorers that reject BTX addresses.

Faststart images Mine in minutes

Offer productive BTX compute based on accepted shares and measured hashrate, not rented-card labels.

Self-managed cloud setup Advanced option: run your own node, wallet host, GPU miner, and terminal dashboard.
Separate from the main flow

Bring your own BTX node.

Use this path only if you want full control over a private Hetzner wallet node and a separate RunPod or Vast GPU miner. The main BTX Start flow remains simpler: users connect to the managed stratum and watch the browser dashboard by payout address.

Best for Advanced miners

This costs more, takes longer, and requires cloud accounts. It is not the fastest path for a first miner.
