Bitcoin Mining Website

2019
https://btc.nickwinans.com

Summary

In 2019 I had a cryptocurrency mining rig setup with my friend to mine various cryptocurrencies that we would exchange for Bitcoin. There were no free services to view data across multiple API’s that I liked, so I decided to make my own. I hooked into API’s from Coinbase where we stored our bitcoin, Nicehash where we mined our cryptocurrency and a custom program to monitor GPU temperature and loads. I used no front-end frameworks for this simple site, but rather created my own CSS and JS scripts necessary for the site to run. I did have to create a very simple Node.js server in addition to the nginx server hosting the site. This Node server allowed me to periodically send a custom crafted JSON file from the Mining Rig that contained information such as GPU and CPU temperatures, loads, and fan speeds.

Technology Used

nginx - Web Server

Node.js - Custom API Endpoint
