ALREADY RUNNING THE COMMUNITY-STORE VERSION? This official-store app has a different app id than the community-store one (rdouma-hashrate-autopilot), so it installs as a separate app with an empty database. A one-time five-minute migration brings your full history across: https://github.com/rdouma/hashrate-autopilot/blob/main/docs/migrating-from-community-store.md

Rent hashrate on the Braiins Hashpower marketplace and route it to your own Ocean non-custodial mining pool, automatically. Each tick the autopilot finds the cheapest available price for your target hashrate, adds a small operator-chosen cushion, and bids exactly that price. You set a maximum you are willing to pay, and the controller never goes above it.

Why this matters: Ocean is a non-custodial pool. Each Ocean block's coinbase pays out to every miner whose accumulated earnings have crossed the on-chain payout threshold (1,048,576 sat) - the coinbase IS the payout, in a single transaction the chain itself executes when the block confirms. Most pools (FPPS, PPS+, PPLNS) instead pay their own wallet first and then send miners a second transaction on the pool's settlement cadence; that intermediate pool wallet is bitcoin the pool custodies on your behalf, and it's what gets lost when a pool goes dark. With Ocean your maximum exposure to pool failure is your current unpaid balance (bounded by the threshold), and every past payout is publicly verifiable on-chain forever. Ocean's Datum templates also filter non-financial spam transactions. Renting hashrate to that kind of pool is a small contribution to keeping Bitcoin mining decentralized.

Solo mining via Ocean's solo template should also work, though so far the autopilot has only been tested against the regular Ocean+Datum pool setup.

Setup is a three-step web wizard. After setup you get a dashboard with live decisions, charts, the DRY-RUN / LIVE / PAUSED switch, and a P&L panel that reads spend from Braiins and earnings from your on-chain wallet.

This app declares a Bitcoin node, an Electrum server, and Datum Gateway as dependencies, so Umbrel will prompt you to install them during setup - any of Umbrel's Bitcoin node apps and any Electrum server (Electrs, Fulcrum, or ElectrumX) works. Once all apps run on the same Umbrel, the autopilot's dashboard auto-discovers the local Datum HTTP API, Electrum server, and Bitcoin RPC across Umbrel's shared Docker network - zero copy/paste, the worker-count, hashrate, P&L earnings, and BIP110 signalling panels all populate on first boot. (Pointing at off-Umbrel instances is also supported - just override the URLs in Config after setup.)

What's new

Version 1.17.2+4 days ago

v1.17.2 - Lightning payouts no longer missing from Profit & Loss.

New: Ocean's payout API turns out not to report Lightning payouts at all (confirmed by Ocean support), so anyone paid over Lightning saw a too-low collected figure and an inflated loss rate. The autopilot now deduces those payouts from your unpaid earnings dropping to zero - confirmed over two consecutive readings so a brief API glitch can't fake one, and only when no matching entry exists in Ocean's own ledger. A deduced payout shows as "type not known yet" for its first 24 hours (a late-arriving on-chain record replaces it automatically), then as "probably Lightning". Your history is backfilled on upgrade, and deduced payouts render on the chart as a ghost gem whose tooltip explains the deduction and marks the amount as approximate.

Fixed: Timeline notes survive the Profit & Loss hard reset - rebuilding your finances no longer erases the personal notes you attached to payout events.

Version 1.17.1+5 days ago

v1.17.1 - a current-block-height tile, a searchable Timeline with personal notes, and a Profit & Loss self-heal.

New: a stats-bar tile shows the latest Bitcoin block and names the pool or miner that found it, crowning your own blocks and marking Ocean and BIP 110 blocks, with a link straight to your block explorer. The Timeline's bid-id filter is now a full-text search box that matches across the bid id, the reason, your personal notes, and each row's identifiers (block heights, IPs, deposit tx ids, config values) across your entire history. You can attach a personal note to any Timeline event, and it is saved, searchable, and included in the Excel export.

Improved: Profit & Loss gains a hard-reset button next to rebuild that wipes and rebuilds the Ocean payout store and the Braiins spend cache from scratch, and both controls now report what they did. The "collected" figure also self-heals - the payout history is re-fetched on every restart and periodically, so a partial fetch during an upgrade can no longer leave it permanently short. An alert's detail panel now breaks an outage into the threshold you waited out, when it fired, when it recovered, the alert duration, and the total time the condition was open, with durations rounded to the nearest minute. The Dynamic DNS test now pushes the daemon's own detected public IP.

Version 1.17.0+last week

v1.17.0 - the security release: your secrets are now encrypted at rest, you can change your password and rotate tokens in-app, and Profit & Loss counts Lightning payouts.

Security: your Braiins tokens, bitcoind RPC password, Telegram token, and DDNS credential are now AES-256-GCM encrypted in the database instead of plaintext, and your dashboard password is stored as a one-way hash. A copied database or a backup no longer hands over your secrets. The config-change history no longer records credential values, and any previously logged are scrubbed on upgrade. Existing installs encrypt themselves on the first start of this version; there is nothing for you to do. This protects the data-leaves-the-box cases; by design it cannot protect against someone who already controls the machine.

New: change your dashboard password and rotate your Braiins owner and read-only tokens right from Config, Pool & Payout, Security & credentials. The password change is instant, and a new token is checked against Braiins before it is saved so a typo cannot break bidding. Profit & Loss now reads "collected" from Ocean's own payout ledger, so both on-chain and Lightning payouts count, split by rail, and a payout you have already spent still shows up - no Bitcoin node required for that number anymore.

Version 1.16.0+2 weeks ago

v1.16.0 - the Timeline release: one unified event log, alert recoveries, Excel export, and two controller-safety fixes.

New: the former "History" page is rebuilt as Timeline, a single chronological feed of everything that happened - bid actions, alert conditions with their durations, on-chain payouts, Braiins deposits, every pool block (yours crowned), difficulty retargets, public-IP changes, config edits, and daemon restarts. Every row opens a detail panel; rows and chart markers jump to each other with a sonar ping. Alert recoveries now log as emerald "resolved" rows the moment the condition heals. Excel export streams the current filtered Timeline to a formatted .xlsx (frozen header, autofilter, your display units, your language) with no row cap. Follow (live tail) pins newest events to the top and polls all sources faster - a live console during an incident. Daemon restarts show on the price chart as an emerald power marker. Timeline columns, detail panels, chart tooltips, decision reasons, and the Excel export are all denomination-aware (sats/BTC/USD, TH/PH/EH).

Fixes: a transient failure fetching Braiins's bid list could make the autopilot post a duplicate bid - creating now requires a confirmed-successful fetch and an empty local ledger. Stop-spend protection during a DATUM outage now keys on the mandatory stratum probe instead of the optional stats API, so the protection works without the stats API configured and a stats-API blip can no longer cancel healthy bids. Pool-block alerts now report the exact TIDES credit Ocean recorded instead of a ~1%-high estimate. Wallet-runway alert threshold accepts fractional days via env var; BIP 110 block amounts render with fixed 8 decimals; unpaid-line block dots explain the balance step they sit on.

Version 1.15.1+2 weeks ago

v1.15.1 - patch release: fixes and polish, no new headline features.

Price-chart fixes: the safety-ceiling line is relabeled from "max bid" to "effective cap", and the "max premium over hashprice" knob is now recorded per tick (and backfilled for older history), so changing it moves the line from that point forward instead of rewriting your whole past.

Other fixes: invalid Bitcoin payout addresses are now rejected at Config and in the first-run wizard, so a typo can't silently credit earnings to nobody. The "Per Day" P&L card no longer sticks on "refreshing...". DATUM stats-API errors now tell you whether the API is behind an auth proxy or its port moved, instead of a cryptic parse error. Electrum host/port help points you to your server's own connection page. The IP-change marker tooltip shows how long ago the address changed. On mobile, the "add tile" control no longer overlaps the time-range buttons, and block-explorer presets set both the block and transaction URL in one click. Ocean payout wording corrected throughout - payouts arrive as batched sweep transactions, not coinbase-direct.
