Energy That Is Ready for What Comes Next Absorbs Energy. Generates Value.
A surplus watt can become verifiable value. Melanin runs verified Bitcoin onboarding and a live mining pool: verify an email, add a wallet and workers, and request mining access.
Access Status
Bitcoin is the public project. Verify an email to open your dashboard, add a wallet and workers, and request mining access.
- Bitcoin dashboard
- Verify an email and your Bitcoin dashboard opens — wallets, workers, and connection details in one place. Access is by review, and your endpoint appears in the dashboard once you are approved.
- Alpha
- The Bitcoin pool is running and accepting work. Access is granted by review.

How It Works
Energy → Verified Setup → Mining
Melanin helps energy and hardware operators prepare a verified configuration, then bring the mining connection online.
Connect
Verify your account, record compatible hardware, and configure your workers. Your wallet address is the identity your rewards follow — there is no separate mining account to create. Connection details are private and are issued in your dashboard once access is approved.
Mine
Once your secure gateway is enabled, your configured workers mine on the pool — Solo and Collaborative both available. Each worker picks its own mode in the dashboard, and you can change it at any time.
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. Your share arrives at the wallet you configured — your wallet holds the record.
What you can verify
Checkable, not claimed
The fee is readable in the coinbase of every block Melanin mines — a fact you can check, not a number we assert. Performance and reward claims stay off this site until the records behind them are reconciled and published. Three things have to be true first.
Drawn to scale, and written into every block this pool mines. Anyone can check it.
Advantages
You keep the keys
Melanin is non-custodial by construction: your share is written into the block’s own coinbase transaction, so Melanin never holds private keys or funds and there is no balance to withdraw. The split is 97% miner / 3% platform, readable by anyone in the block itself, not promised in a terms page.
Your hardware, your wallet address, your keys — all of it stays yours. A phone works. So does an ASIC. One account covers a Raspberry Pi on a solar roof and a rack in a data centre, solo or shared.
Your kit, your power and where you are decide the setup. We work it out with you.
Power you would otherwise sell back can mine instead — solar, hydro, wind, or industrial load going to waste. The connection needs very little bandwidth, so it holds up on patchy and off-grid links worldwide.
Onboarding
Get Started Checklist
Everything needed to open a verified account and configure your workers.
You need three things: a machine you already own, a Bitcoin wallet address you control, and an email you can verify. That is the whole list.
- A machine
- Windows 10 or later, macOS 12 or later, a modern Linux (glibc 2.31+), a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5, or Android 8 and above — all 64-bit. Click detects what you have and configures the right mode for it. What a phone, a Pi or a laptop actually does →
- A wallet address
- Any non-custodial wallet you control — desktop, mobile, lightweight or hardware. Your share is written into the block’s own coinbase, 97% to you and 3% to the platform, so it arrives in that wallet directly. Your wallet holds the record. The wallet-setup walkthrough in Academy →
- An email you can verify
- Onboarding needs a verified address, and nothing is configured until it is confirmed.
Mining holds a processor at sustained load, so check that airflow around the device is unobstructed and that the circuit can carry it — a standard ASIC miner draws around 3250 W. On Android, Click mines only while the device is charging and below 42 °C. Full thermal and electrical guide →
Ecosystem
Our Products
Mine on Your Own Hardware
Set up a Bitcoin mining profile on Windows, macOS, Linux or Android, or register a compatible ASIC — one account covers both. Connection details stay private and appear in your dashboard once access is approved.
Start Bitcoin access →Solar Homes
Turn excess solar energy into Bitcoin. Power you would otherwise export can mine instead — automatic, solar-powered, and you keep your own keys, non-custodial from day one.
Learn More →Data Center Mining
Monetize idle server capacity with fleet-coordinated Bitcoin mining, managed for approved industrial deployments.

View Docs →Non-custodial by construction: your share is written into the block's own coinbase, 97/3 to miner and platform. Bitcoin is the public path and the pool is accepting work. Onboarding needs a verified email, private endpoints stay off public pages, and public code is reviewed before release.
