Take your shot at winning Bitcoin with solo mining AI technology, now available for home enthusiasts. More devices, more chances to win!

• Get a shot at solving a block of 3 BTC
• Runs on just 1W via USB-C 
• Plug in, set & forget 
• Lifetime warranty & money-back guarantee

• How does the MinerForge Pro actually work?

  The MinerForge Pro connects to the Bitcoin network and performs real solo mining - meaning it independently tries to find a valid block hash. It uses open, read-only network data to participate safely in the mining process without accessing your personal information or wallet.
  
  Each “shot” is a new attempt at discovering a block, which theoretically could yield a Bitcoin reward, although the odds are very small.

• Does buying more miners improve my odds?

  Yes. Each device runs independently, producing its own stream of hashes (lottery tickets). The more units you run, the more chances you have of hitting a winning block.

• Do I need any technical skills to set this up?

  Not at all. Just plug the miner into power, connect to Wi-Fi once through your phone, and you’re mining. No coding, no special hardware, no experience required.

• Do I need a computer to run this?

  No. Everything runs directly on the device. You only need a smartphone, tablet, or computer for the initial Wi-Fi setup. After that, it works completely on its own.

• Initial Setup
  First-Time Configuration

  1. Automatic WiFi Connection: Upon power-on, the device attempts to connect to the previously configured WiFi network. If connection fails after 15 seconds, it automatically enters configuration mode.

  2. Access Point Setup: Search for the free access point named nmap-2.4g (no password required).

  3. Configuration Interface:

     • Mobile devices: You will be automatically redirected to the configuration page
     • PC/Desktop: Navigate to 192.168.4.1 in your web browser
• 
  4. Parameter Configuration: Configure your mining parameters following the on-screen instructions. Note that higher UI refresh values result in increased hash rates, and hash rates also improve when the display is turned off.
  

  5. Accessing Configuration: You can return to the configuration page at any time using the button controls.

  6. Saving Settings: After clicking Save, allow 10-15 seconds for the process to complete. Do not manually reset the device; it will restart automatically.

• Manual Configuration Mode

• For single button boards:
  
  
  Long press the boot button
  For dual button boards:
  
  
  Long press the user button
  
  
  Follow the First-Time Configuration steps.

• Firmware Installation & Updates
  Using NMMiner Flash Tool

• Step 1: Open the NMMiner Flash Tool in Chrome or Edge browser.

  Step 2: Select your board model and initiate the firmware update. The tool will automatically:

  • Download the latest firmware version from GitHub
  • Configure flash parameters for your specific board
  

  Note 1: If you're simply updating existing firmware, the above steps are sufficient. For first-time installations, firmware activation is required.

   

  Note 2: If you lose your license, re-flash your device using the;NMMiner Flash Tool to receive a new license automatically.

• Firmware Activation

• Step 1: After flashing the firmware, obtain your license following the on-screen instructions.

  

  Step 2: Copy the license string into the license code field and click the activation button. Successful activation will display a confirmation message.

  

  Step 3: For first-time installations, configure basic settings as shown below. Alternatively, you can configure these settings later using the button controls.

  

  Step 4: Your miner is now ready to use!

• Mining Pool Configuration

• Due to limited on-chip resources, some high-difficulty mining pools may reject connections from ESP32-based miners. The following pools support low-difficulty stratum connections suitable for this hardware:

• Bitcoin (BTC)

• stratum+tcp://public-pool.io:21496 - Home page
• stratum+tcp://pool.tazmining.ch:33333 -Home page

• DigiByte (DGB)

• stratum+tcp://dgb-stratum.solominer.net:3333 -Home page

• Monitoring & Management

• NMController Applications

• Both NMController Client and NMController Web provide identical functionality:

  • NMController Client: Windows desktop application
  • NMController Web: Cross-platform solution for Windows and macOS

• Network Scanning with NMController Client

• The client automatically scans your local network to discover active miners:

  

• Device Configuration

• Configure individual miners or groups of miners through the NMController interface (requires firmware v1.5.xx or later):

  

• Web-Based Monitoring

• Access the web monitoring interface by navigating to your miner's IP address in a web browser. This interface provides functionality similar to NMController:
