Hashrate Autopilot

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 Bitcoin Node, Electrs, and Datum Gateway as dependencies, so Umbrel will prompt you to install them during setup. Once all apps run on the same Umbrel, the autopilot's dashboard auto-discovers the local Datum HTTP API, Electrs 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.)
