ASIC Mining Made Easy
HandyMiner-CLI Dashboard Running w/ the Goldshell HS1 (50GH, 57 watts)
Project Description: A simple CLI interface (+optional Dashboard) for HSD Mining to enable the Goldshell HS1 to communicate with Handshake HSD via Stratum Mining.
We’re proud to announce the open beta of the HandyMiner-Goldshell-CLI. If you’ve recently purchased a Goldshell HS1 and you’re looking for a CLI/Reporting Dashboard that’s easy to use, that would be us.
Goldshell is a dedicated partner to the Handshake community, and they’ve released this device to help make mining more portable again, like when we all could mine with our GPUs. By introducing low-cost, “headerless” miners, anyone can quick start mining HNS with their personal at-home ASIC. One that is cost efficient, and can still pack a punch.
They reached out to us for assistance in making Handshake mining easier with their new device, and we obliged. The HandyMiner-CLI is compatible for MacOS/Windows/Linux, and the simple bundled configuration tool will get you up and going with your HS1 in just a few minutes mining to the Handshake pool of your choice.

Running HandyMiner with your HS1
First, make sure to plug the AC power into the Goldshell HS1 and connect the USB from the HS1 to your computer.
Non-terminal users: simply double click (windows) dashboard.windows.bat
or (mac) dashboard.mac.command
or (linux) dashboard.sh
files.
Note: The first time you launch will run you thru the miner configurator.
Launch the miner in terminal in a Bash terminal (Windows: git-bash):
cd (into the repo base)npm start (runs the CLI miner)
Most terminals:npm run dashboard //runs the CLI dashboard+minerOR./dashboard.sh //same
Note: many windows terminals dont do text coloring or dashboards right with npm run commands.. So if it's an issue (and you didnt double click) you can launch the proper dashboard like:
node ./miner/dashboard.js

🔥Bonus News🔥: A CLI isn’t for everyone, and is mostly the interface of choice for major pools and mining farms, we recognize that. We also have the HandyMiner-GUI launching in the coming week(ish) to make using your miner even simpler .
