As you all know, I have jumped into the crypto mining game again, and it feels like I am home. Mining is really where it all started for me in this space. I love the idea of actually having hardware running, exchanging electricity for crypto. So I am going to start taking it pretty seriously and eventually reach out to some investors to help with funding some rigs. So in this effort, I have built, with the help of my little AI coder buddy, ChatGPT 4.0, a PHP Wordpress plugin that loads a dashboard on Coin Logic that shows all the miner data for each of the networks I mine, or are going to mine.
This was the first dashboard I created. Litecoinpool.org has an API and gives you a key when you sign up. So that made it easy to plug into the data and pull up what I needed for each worker, and the account overall. But I also wanted to see the full network data, so I had that added as well as some charts that show LTC/USD and DOGE/USD. I already had these charts created with the Massive Cryptocurrency plugin for Wordpress, so I plugged them into the page with shortcodes.
One addition I made to this plugin is the ability to add multiple API keys, so that if I create another account say to represent investor rigs, then I can just add a comma then the next API key, and the info for that account will also populate. I haven't tested it yet, but so far everything else works.
For Monero mining, I use SupportXMR.com for that. They have a very basic API that only brought in the global data for my account, not the individual workers like the LTC/DOGE pool does. So I used the information I was able to retrieve and fed it to ChatGPT and had it come up with a new PHP script to add to Wordpress so that I could add my Monero mining stats to the page with a shortcode.
It still gives the overall information that people need to follow my mining efforts, but would really be cool if I could access my worker data. I tried different ways and could get the data to populate. But for now this works and it looks nice along side the Monero chart.
Next tab on the page is for Bitcoin BTC mining, which gives you all the info you need for now. It's coming soon, haha. I don't have any Bitcoin miners at the moment, but I am looking into starting off with some of the little home miners like the Canaan Avalon 3S, Bitaxe Gamma, and the Lucky Miner LV07. I have another solar experiment I want to run with some of these so I can come up with little mobile solar rigs that I can put out and move around my yard.
I will be using the Braiins Mining Pool and they have a data API I can tie into so I should be able to get all the info I want for my rigs I don't have yet to be able to display for interested parties. The cool part about this pool is they offer Lightning payouts which have a super low minimum payout. With these miners I am looking at not producing much, being able to get paid out at 1000 sats is awesome. With 
Anyway, I feel like I am building something I can grow and scale up, slowly but surely. I am considering doing some kind of token sale or NFT sale to represent shares in the mining company and working on an investor/operations payout structure. That is just a thought in the pan right now, but it may happen because I really want to scale up my operation as much as possible as quickly as possible!
So go check out my new mining dashboard on Coin Logic and let me know what you think! Also, I would love some community feedback about the idea of a token or NFT sale.
Until next time...
Be cool, be real, and always abide with you my dudes!
