Energy That Pays For Itself Absorbs Energy. Generates Value.
Convert your spare energy into Bitcoin — non-custodially, 97% to your wallet. GPUs or ASICs mine BTC, any CPU mines Whive.
Or route by role: Solar homeowner Data center Developer Just curious
Energy → Bitcoin → Savings
Your energy mines Bitcoin. Melanin's AI optimizes mining for your specific setup — not just the pool's.
Connect
Install Click on Windows, macOS, Linux, or Android — or plug in an MSBX. Under 90 seconds to first hash.
Mine
AI-assisted managed mining for your hardware. GPU or ASIC mines BTC. CPU mines Whive simultaneously. Solo or pool — your choice.
Save
97% goes directly to your wallet. 3% platform fee visible in every coinbase. Non-custodial — we never touch your coins.
Solutions by Segment
Solar-first. Households lead. Data centers and vendors scale the network.
For Households
Bundle MSBX with your solar system. Excess energy becomes Bitcoin instead of wasted grid exports. Your surplus kilowatt-hours become digital savings.
Learn more →For Data Centers
Data centers run at <50% utilization. Melanin's fleet integration mines with idle capacity and excess renewable power — turning cost centers into profit centers.
Learn more →For Solar Vendors
Bundle MSBX with your solar products. Give customers built-in Bitcoin payback — turn commodity hardware into a revenue stream.
Partner inquiry →The Melanin Proof
We don't just claim better mining. We prove it on-chain — 60 days, two pools, real blocks, public data.
Built Like Engineering, Not Crypto
Three layers, encrypted end-to-end, non-custodial throughout. The domain says engineering for a reason.
User Devices
Click, MSBX, ASICs — Stratum V2 client by default
Edge / Network
Managed proxy and pool access for approved miners
Blockchain
Direct non-custodial payouts. We never touch your keys.
What We're Building
Now
Live BTC + Whive solo and pool. Click for desktop + Android. 99.9% uptime targets. Status page.
Next
MSBX hardware pilot batch. Public RFC index. Reliability notes. Solar-vendor partner program rollout.
Later
Chaos-test summaries. Audit artifacts. Mobile monitoring app general release. Multi-coin (BCH, more) per playbook.
Why Melanin
AI-assisted orchestration
AI optimized for your specific hardware, energy profile, and location. Continuously learns to maximize your mining performance.
Dual Mining
Bitcoin on your GPU or ASIC. Bonus Whive on your CPU. Mode auto-detects. Solo or pool — your choice.
Energy Subsidy
Solar feed-in rates pay ~$0.03/kWh. Mining the same excess energy often returns more. Energy that pays for itself.
97% Yours
97% of every block reward goes directly to you. Verifiable on the blockchain — same rate for every miner, no hidden fees.
Non-Custodial
Payouts go straight to your wallet. We never touch your keys or funds — your coins, your custody, always.
Stratum V2
Encrypted connections by default. Miner-controlled block composition — less pool centralization, more miner control.
Global
Asia, Middle East, Africa, Americas, Europe. Lightweight protocol designed for off-grid and intermittent connectivity — mining works wherever you are.
Open Source
Core components open source on GitHub. Verifiable, auditable, forkable. Join the community building distributed energy mining.
Get Started Checklist
Everything you need to start mining in under 90 seconds.
Operating System
Windows 10+, macOS 12+, Linux, or ARM (Raspberry Pi, Android)
Operating System
Windows 10+, macOS 12+, Linux, or ARM (Raspberry Pi, Android)
- Windows: 10 or later, 64-bit. Administrator access for first install.
- macOS: Monterey (12) or later. Intel or Apple Silicon.
- Linux: any modern distro with glibc 2.31+ (Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+, Fedora 35+).
- Raspberry Pi: Pi 4 (4 GB+) or Pi 5 with the Melanin OS image.

Bitcoin Wallet
Any non-custodial wallet (Sparrow, BlueWallet, Electrum, etc.)
Bitcoin Wallet
Any non-custodial wallet (Sparrow, BlueWallet, Electrum, etc.)
Your payouts land directly in your wallet via the coinbase transaction. Pick whichever fits your setup:
- Sparrow (desktop, recommended) — sparrowwallet.com. Great for solo-mining signatures.
- BlueWallet (mobile) — bluewallet.io. Simple iOS/Android.
- Electrum — electrum.org. Veteran choice, lightweight.
- Hardware — Ledger, Trezor, Coldcard. Store your mined coins cold.
Whive Wallet (Optional)
For dual mining rewards (Whive core wallet available at whive.io)
Whive Wallet (Optional)
For dual mining rewards (Whive core wallet available at whive.io)
If you plan to dual-mine (BTC on GPU/ASIC + Whive on CPU), grab a Whive wallet to receive the CPU rewards:
- Whive Core — whive.io. Official reference wallet.
- Skip if you only care about Bitcoin — Click will just park the Whive address empty.
Device
Desktop PC, laptop, smartphone, Raspberry Pi, or USB-ASIC miner (BitAxe, etc.)

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, BitAxe / Compac F USB miners.
- ASIC — S19 / S21, MSBX + external ASIC. High-performance.
Bring your own — any desktop, phone, or USB-ASIC works. Click auto-detects and configures the right mode.

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 mobile, Click only mines while the device is charging and below 42 °C — no runaway heat.
- Power: a standard S19 draws ~3250 W. Check your circuit capacity before plugging in.
