Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about HashCore Toolkit for ASIC mining farm management

Common questions about features, compatibility, installation, security, and operational usage answered by mining professionals.

What is HashCore Toolkit?

HashCore Toolkit is professional ASIC mining farm management software that allows you to monitor, control, and optimize cryptocurrency mining operations across multiple devices. It provides real-time monitoring, bulk configuration, firmware management, and advanced diagnostics for mining operations of any size, from home setups to industrial facilities managing thousands of devices.

Which ASIC miners are supported?

HashCore Toolkit supports 150+ miner models including Bitmain Antminer series (S9, S17, S19, S19 Pro, S19 XP), MicroBT Whatsminer series (M20, M30, M50), Canaan AvalonMiner, and other ASIC mining equipment that uses industry-standard management protocols (CGMiner API, SSH). The software works with any miner that exposes standard monitoring interfaces.

What platforms does HashCore Toolkit support?

HashCore Toolkit is available for Windows 10/11, Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS), macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), and Android mobile devices (Android 8.0+). This cross-platform availability allows you to manage your mining operations from desktop computers or mobile devices wherever you are. All platforms provide the same feature set with native performance optimization.

Is HashCore Toolkit free to use?

Yes, HashCore Toolkit is available as a free download for all supported platforms with full feature access for managing your ASIC mining operations. There are no hidden fees, premium tiers, or device limits. You can manage up to 50,000 devices per instance at no cost.

How do I get started with HashCore Toolkit?

Download HashCore Toolkit for your platform from the home page, install the application, and launch it. The software will automatically scan your network for compatible ASIC miners. Create groups to organize your miners by location or purpose, configure IP ranges if needed, and start monitoring your mining farm immediately. Initial setup typically takes less than 10 minutes.

Can I manage miners remotely?

Yes, HashCore Toolkit supports secure remote management through encrypted connections. You can monitor and control your mining farm from anywhere using the desktop application or Android mobile app. Set up user accounts with specific permissions to allow team members controlled access. See the security documentation for details on access control and encryption.

What metrics can I monitor?

HashCore Toolkit monitors comprehensive metrics including hashrate (current, average, expected), chip and board temperature, fan speeds, power consumption, pool connectivity and share statistics, worker status, hardware error rates, uptime, reject rate, and efficiency metrics. You can view data for individual miners, per hash board, or aggregated across device groups. Historical data allows trend analysis and performance optimization.

Does it support bulk operations?

Yes, you can configure multiple miners simultaneously. Apply pool settings, adjust frequency and power limits, update firmware, reboot devices, and change configurations across thousands of miners with a single action. Bulk operations execute in parallel with intelligent rate limiting to prevent network congestion. Operations can be scheduled during low-demand periods.

How many devices can HashCore Toolkit manage?

A single HashCore Toolkit instance can manage up to 50,000 devices. For operations exceeding this limit or requiring geographic distribution, deploy multiple instances with optional central coordination through HashCore Pulse for enterprise orchestration. Over 600,000 devices are currently managed worldwide using HashCore solutions.

What are the system requirements?

Requirements scale with fleet size. For up to 1,000 devices: 4 CPU cores, 8 GB RAM, 50 GB storage, 1 Gbps network. For up to 50,000 devices: 16+ CPU cores, 32+ GB RAM, 500 GB SSD storage, 10 Gbps network. See the installation guide for detailed hardware recommendations based on your specific deployment size.

Is my mining data secure?

Yes, HashCore implements enterprise-grade security including role-based access control, encrypted communication (TLS/SSL), secure credential storage, audit logging of all actions, and network isolation capabilities. The local-first architecture means your operational data never leaves your facility unless you explicitly configure remote access. See the security page for comprehensive security features and best practices.

Can I use HashCore Toolkit with custom firmware?

Yes, HashCore Toolkit works with stock firmware and custom firmware from any provider. For optimal performance, HashCore Firmware (by the same creators) provides 24% performance increase, 15% energy savings, and 20% extended lifespan through intelligent thermal management. HashCore Toolkit can deploy and manage firmware updates across your fleet with automatic backup and rollback protection.

Does HashCore work with mining pools?

HashCore Toolkit is pool-agnostic and works with any mining pool. Configure pool settings individually or apply templates across devices. Monitor pool connectivity, track share statistics, and receive alerts for pool failures. For optimized pool connectivity, HashCore Proxy (separate product) reduces latency and improves connection stability across distributed operations.

What if I have issues during installation?

Common installation issues are covered in the installation guide troubleshooting section. Most problems relate to network configuration (firewall rules, port accessibility) or authentication settings. Check that miners are accessible on your network and that CGMiner API (port 4028) is not blocked. The FAQ and documentation pages provide additional troubleshooting guidance.

Can hosting providers use HashCore Toolkit?

Yes, HashCore is ideal for hosting providers. Multi-tenant isolation ensures complete separation between client accounts. Grant clients view-only access to their devices while maintaining administrative control. Generate per-client performance reports for transparent billing. Role-based permissions and audit logging provide the security and accountability hosting operations require. See the use cases page for detailed hosting provider scenarios.
