Introduction to Hashman

Hashman is the ultimate mining companion tool for managing and optimizing your bitcoin mining operations. It supports various miner firmware types and provides advanced features for automating, monitoring, controlling, and optimizing your mining operation.

Hashman's philosophy: intelligent mining automation

Hashman approaches Bitcoin mining automation through clear separation of concerns and precise economic modeling:

Core architecture

1. Agent Layer - Hardware & Location

• Manages physical ASICs in specific locations

• Handles network discovery and connectivity

• Enforces location-specific constraints

• Provides real-time monitoring and control

1. Profile Layer - Economic Logic

• Defines price-based operating rules

• Location-independent behavior patterns

• Calculates profitability thresholds

• Optimizes for market conditions

Economic model

The system continuously optimizes operations by evaluating:

• Marginal electricity costs (from profile definitions)

• Current Bitcoin mining revenue

• Individual ASIC efficiency curves

• Network difficulty projections

These variables create a dynamic schedule that maximizes profitability under normal conditions.

Grid services integration (coming soon..)

The standard economic model can be overridden by grid service commitments:

• Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR)

• Manual Frequency Restoration Reserve (mFRR)

• Demand Response programs

• Emergency grid support

These grid services take absolute priority over regular mining operations, allowing miners to participate in critical power grid stability functions while maintaining profitable operations during normal conditions.
