I break things in public so you don't have to. Homelab builds, self-hosted game servers, and the tools I write along the way. Proxmox, Docker, and every gotcha I hit getting there.
Open source. No dev fee. Now with a window.
v0.2.18 has a graphical miner, for Linux and Windows, with the miner binaries inside it. Pick a coin, pick a pool, paste your address, click Mine.
No archive to unpack. No config file to edit. No toolkit to install.
It finds every card you have and runs one miner per card, with a row each and one total. There is a gaming mode too: one button drops every card to 30% of full speed so you can play, and press it again to go back.
The command line has not gone anywhere. The scripts are unchanged.
SRBMiner takes 1% on Autolykos. lolMiner takes 1.5%. Their own tables say so. This one takes nothing, and you can read the source.
Ergo is the mature coin here. Bitcoin III is still testing. Pearl is NVIDIA and CUDA only, and it will not pay for your electricity.
BE WARNED: it is not code signed, so Windows warns about an unknown publisher, and Defender flags every GPU miner as a coin miner. Both are expected. The guide explains what to click and what the installer's optional Defender exclusion actually covers.
| GPU | Backend | Ergo MH/s |
|---|---|---|
| RTX 5080 | Vulkan | 267.6 |
| RTX 4090 | CUDA | 235.5 |
| RX 7900 XT | Vulkan | 151.9 |
| RTX 4080 | CUDA | 140.0 |
| RTX 4070 SUPER | CUDA | 117.6 |
| RX 6700 XT | Vulkan | 82.9 |
| RTX 4060 Ti | CUDA | 76.9 |
Measured here at the 7.27GB dataset, on cards I own.
Your number drops as the dataset grows. Old figures online are about double what any miner gets today. Compare like with like.
BE WARNED: a hashrate on screen is not proof you are getting paid. Confirm it on the pool site.
Game servers you can actually join, the homelab that runs them, the miner, measured hashrates, gear reviews, and 115 how-to guides pulled from real projects.
Connection info for every self-hosted game server. Minecraft, Palworld, Enshrouded, Dune Awakening and more. Voice and text chat live in Outpost.
See servers →What runs the whole operation. A Proxmox hypervisor, a NAS fleet, monitoring, backups, an internal CA, and a pile of self-hosted apps replacing cloud services.
Tour the rack →115 guides, scrubbed of anything private and written for anyone to follow. Most of them are a named failure mode and the fix, because that is what I actually hit.
Browse guides →577 measured results across 50 cards and 51 coins, stock and overclocked, with the miner version and the wall watts for each one.
Compare cards →Ten verdicts on hardware and software after running them for real. Includes what I walked away from and why, which is usually the more useful half.
Read reviews →A self-hosted Discord alternative built from scratch. Real WebRTC voice and video, text channels, roles, invites. Free, open source, MIT licensed.
Homelab builds, gaming and streaming. Across a couple different channels.
