- What the Hash?

PLEASE NOTE: This is beta software and may not work as intended. Please file issues if you find something broken!

• This is a new release of software. It will have bugs.
• I mostly mine ETH, so mining other coins may or may not cause problems. Report any you find, please.

What is "What the Hash?"?

WTH is a "consolidator", that gathers data from different APIs, such as those on miners and pools, to bring it all together into one interface (console, web, and/or API).

See: More Feature Screenshots of Modules

WTH was designed with the goal of providing an expandable, quick health status / earnings viewer for cryptocurrency related interests, miners, etc.

It was originally developed to allow me to get a fast view on the health of all my GPU/CPU miners, regardless of miner software or pool software. Mostly, I was frustrated at looking at half a dozen or more web pages just to check in on miners, pools, and portfolios.

It isn't meant to compete with fancy web UIs with charts and graphs (yet), but can easily run alongside those. I have found that I rely less and less on the remote pool web interfaces to give me updates in addition to things like the portfolio not requiring me to share my holdings with external websites.

With very little interaction, you should be able to see the basics of your cryptocurrency world. Adding more mining pools, staking & liquidity pools, crypto portfolios, and more is the plan.

WTH also offers an API for other systems to use the collected data. The primary goal of this is so we can offer a more advanced Web UI in the future, but it also tries to serve as a single API protocol for many different miners and pools out in the wild.

You can help us and add your own modules as well! The coding required can be fairly simplistic, depending on the remote API, and help from us can get your module added quickly. Don't program? You can request the new module, but those who donate get the most attention (see donation addresses below). Requests can go here: Ideas

WTH should be considered beta software. I wrote it as a quick tool for myself, then it proved so helpful, I started to grow it, and then I decided to release it. Contributions to the code base are welcome, but only do so if you understand that this software is beta and things will change.

Installation - OSx

• Same as linux?, unknown mileage

Use

• All modules can be spread across 10 "pages" for display and keys 1-0 bring you to the page.
• "e" key will show available commands in basic web interface and console
• http://localhost:8080/api?module=list provides a list of configured modules that can be queried.
  • http://localhost:8080/api?module=<module_name> will return JSON for that module entry
• With either web interface (basic or API), you can enable a private key to restrict access
  • Enable in config and set your key
  • Add &key=<your_key> to the URL for both interfaces to send it with request.

Other stuff

• wthlab.rb is an interactive shell with a WTH application spun up with your config.
• wthd.rb is an untested daemonized wth for OSs that support fork.
  • Use: ruby ./wthd.rb [start|stop|status|restart]
• To detach from console, you can also set config option "console_out" to false
• When a URL is visible on the console, you may be able to CTRL + Mouse click it to open in browser. Terminal and OS mileage may vary.

Configuration

• The default config file is "wth_config.yml"
• Example config file is "wth_config_example.yml"
• You can run with different config file using arguments to wth: -c or --config
  • Example: ruby wth.rb -c wth_my_other_config.yml

Configuration - Modules

• Modules are interfaces to software installed on your mining machines or remote APIs. You may have to install software yourself on one or more machines to get the features of a module.
• Specific configuration options can be found in the example config.
• Brief documentation for how to enable APIs for a specific module target can be found in docs/modules/<target_name>.

List of supported plugins

• what_to_mine : Enables what to mine revenue calculations on supporting modules
• coin_gecko : Enables value calculations for modules to convert to USD (more currencies supported soon)

Configuration - Global

console_out: [true|false] = Enable console output.

web_server_start: [true|false] = Run web server or not

default_module_frequency: [integer] = Number of seconds between default module check. Override per module with "every:" directive. Some modules have minimums enforced to ensure you don't get yourself banned or overload remote APIs that are generously provided by others for free.

Configuration - Web Server

The following web server config options are:

web_server:

html_out: [true|false] = Enable the console => html conversion. Turning this off will leave the API running, if that is enabled. True default.

port: [integer] = Port number to run basic and API on. Default is 8080

host: [network_addr] = For local machine access, set to 127.0.0.1 or localhost, 0.0.0.0 for all interfaces (default), or specific IP address for a specific interface.

ssl: [true|false] = Enables SSL. Your SSL cert and pkey pem files will be generated for you and stored in "data/ssl/*.pem". You can replace those with your own if you desire.

api: [true|false] = Enable the API interface for the web server. Default false.

key: [string] = User chosen string to act as you private web access string. Append all URL requests with &api_key=<your_key> if you set this.

Configuration - Misc Notes

• Tor SOCKS and Http Proxy is available, but currently is enabled per module with no global mechanism to set it yet and not all modules support it (those who use custom network code: claymore, phoenix, cpuminer, zapper.fi).

Donate!

Donations are very welcome and if you find this program helpful. If you want a miner, pool, or other crypto currency related site/tool integrated, donations also go a long way to convince me to investigate if it is possible and spend the personal time adding something I don't need myself.
