Energy That Is Ready for What Comes Next Absorbs Energy. Generates Value.
Proof-of-work is our first principle: a surplus watt can become verifiable value. Melanin runs verified Bitcoin onboarding and a live mining pool; rewards and payouts are operated as separate services.
Access Status
Bitcoin dashboard onboarding is verified-public.
Bitcoin is the public project: verify an email to open the dashboard. Live mining connections have separate gates.
- Bitcoin dashboard
- Verified Bitcoin users can manage their dashboard. A live miner connection still needs a matching secure endpoint and worker setup.
- Alpha
- The Bitcoin pool is running and accepting work. Access is granted by review.
- Separate services
- Rewards, payouts, and public mining endpoints require separately operated services.

How It Works
Energy → Verified Setup → Future Mining
Melanin helps energy and hardware operators prepare a verified configuration. A mining connection is introduced only after its secure gateway is live.
Connect
Verify your account, record compatible hardware, and prepare a private worker configuration. Public mining installers and endpoints are not yet available.
Mine
A separately operated secure gateway must be enabled before any configured worker can mine. Solo and Collaborative paths are both available on the pool.
Save
The fee is published: 97% to the miner, 3% to the platform, written into the block’s own coinbase, so the design is non-custodial by construction. Payout records await a reconciler that is operating and verified.
Launch criteria
What Melanin Must Prove
A public mining launch requires an independently operating gateway, reconciled chain evidence, and published terms before any performance or reward claim is made.
Advantages
Why Melanin
Managed orchestration
Configured for your specific hardware, energy profile, and location.
Bitcoin Mining Plan
GPU, ASIC, and USB-ASIC configurations can be reviewed through verified onboarding. Solo and Collaborative mining are both available on the pool.
Energy Subsidy
Solar feed-in rates pay ~$0.03/kWh. Mining the same excess energy often returns more. Energy that pays for itself.
Global
Asia, Middle East, Africa, Americas, Europe. Lightweight protocol designed for off-grid and intermittent connectivity — mining works wherever you are.
Onboarding
Get Started Checklist
Everything needed to prepare a verified onboarding request and future worker configuration.
Operating System
Windows, macOS, Linux, or ARM (Raspberry Pi, Android)
Operating System
Windows, macOS, Linux, or ARM (Raspberry Pi, Android)
- Windows: 10 or later, 64-bit. Administrator access for first install.
- macOS: Monterey (12) or later. desktop-class or ARM desktop chips.
- Linux: any modern distro with glibc 2.31+ (Ubuntu 22.04+, Fedora 35+).
- Raspberry Pi: Pi 4 (4 GB+) or Pi 5 running Linux.
- Android: 8.0 (Oreo) or later, 64-bit ARM.
Bitcoin Wallet
Any non-custodial wallet that you control
Bitcoin Wallet
Any non-custodial wallet that you control
Save a self-custody wallet address for your mining configuration. Your share is written into the block’s own coinbase — 97% to you, 3% to the platform — so it arrives in that wallet directly. Payout records and earnings reports are a separate service and do not exist yet.
- Desktop wallet — Choose a non-custodial wallet that lets you verify addresses and signatures.
- Mobile wallet — Choose a non-custodial Android wallet for monitoring and address control.
- Lightweight wallet — Choose an established wallet that keeps keys under your control.
- Hardware — Ledger, Trezor, Coldcard. Store your mined coins cold.

Click auto-detects your hardware tier and picks the right mode. Rough guide:
- VIBE — phones, Raspberry Pi, low-power devices. Mostly educational.
- COLLAB — gaming PCs, workstations, compact USB miners.
- ASIC — an S9 through an S21, or a rack of them. High performance.
Bring your own — any desktop, phone, or USB-ASIC works. Click auto-detects and configures the right mode.
Safety
Ensure adequate ventilation; review thermal guidelines in our setup guide

- Mining pushes CPUs/GPUs to sustained load. Make sure airflow around the device is unobstructed.
- On Android, Click only mines while the device is charging and below 42 °C — no runaway heat.
- Power: a standard ASIC miner draws ~3250 W. Check your circuit capacity before plugging in.
