Later today, we will release one of our largest updates to date for the MintSolo Dashboard. With Anonymous Miner Tracking, similar to how most pools operate, you can now point your miner to one of our MintSolo pools and track your miner’s stats on the MintSolo Dashboard using just your mining address.
MintSolo-Dashboard v2.2.0
MintSolo’s Bitcoin Solo Mining Dashboard
Presently, to see your miner’s stats, you need to create an account using your email address and then validate your address to gain access to the Miner Statistics section of our MintSolo Dashboard. With this new release, we are providing access to your miner’s statistics simply by entering your crypto address.
So why are we making this change? We have had a lot of friction with users who do not like providing an email address to monitor their miners’ performance on MintSolo. So we listened, and we are providing this access due to our users’ feedback.
However, for “Advanced” Performance, Earnings, and Comparison data, as well as block notifications, we still require users to create an account and verify their email addresses to make these analytics available.
What will the changes be?
Upon release, users will see a new Address input field on the MintSolo Dashboard’s main page. This address input field is available for any cryptocurrency we support.
Although we are reserving the Advanced Miner Stats and Settings for users who establish an account with MintSolo (note the locks on the sidebar), this new anonymous access provides a wealth of information about your Miner Hashrate, Miner Workers, Share Efficiency, and Blocks Found.
We are excited to share this information with miners and hope it helps grow our mining platform and solo-mining pools.

Summary
In this article, we have announced the availability of Anonymous Miner Statistics. Using just your crypto wallet address, you can now view your miners’ stats within the MintSolo Mining Dashboard. Our goal is to be as transparent as possible while we develop the MintSolo-Platform. These are just a few of the enhancements we have on our roadmap. Be sure to watch for our upcoming releases.
NOTE: Our GitHub repository for the MintSolo-Dashboard is still set to private. We did this to ensure we could complete our planned development without distraction. Once we complete development of the MintSolo-Platform design, we will open the repository to the public.
