Where we're headed

Build it right.
Then keep building.

Mini Miners is being developed step by step, with reliability and accessibility ahead of arbitrary launch dates. This roadmap shows the direction of the project — not promises tied to a calendar.

This is a direction, not a deadline.

Plans will evolve as we test the network, learn from miners, and discover better ways to build things. Completed work stays visible so progress can be measured by what actually works.

01
WORKING NOW

Build the foundation

Get the core network dependable before adding complexity.

  • Mini Miners server and MiniPOW protocol
  • PC miner for fast development and testing
  • Accounts, share validation and reward accounting
  • Basic network infrastructure and diagnostics
  • Long-running reliability and failure testing
02
NEXT UP

Make mining solid

Turn the development network into something miners can rely on.

  • Reliable PC mining and reconnect behavior
  • Network statistics and miner status
  • Security and abuse testing
  • Reward and difficulty tuning from real measurements
  • Clear logs and troubleshooting tools
03
PLANNED

Bring in the ESP32s

Move from PC development to the tiny hardware Mini Miners is built around.

  • Reference ESP32 miner firmware
  • DIY flashing and build instructions
  • Supported-board testing and real benchmarks
  • Local miner status and configuration interface
  • Power and efficiency measurements
04
PLANNED

Make the first miner easy

Create the plug-and-play experience without locking out advanced users.

  • Captive-portal Wi-Fi setup from phone or computer
  • No-code account and miner configuration
  • Friendly local hostname and dashboard
  • Safe update, reboot, reset and recovery tools
  • Polished ready-to-go Mini Miner hardware
05
PLANNED

Open the network wider

Give beginners, DIY miners and makers the tools to participate on their own terms.

  • Public miner software and firmware
  • Complete beginner and advanced documentation
  • Network status/explorer tools
  • Community testing and hardware experiments
  • Developer and protocol documentation
06
FUTURE

Solar, hardware & decentralization

Grow beyond the first devices and reduce dependence on infrastructure controlled by one operator.

  • Tested solar configurations and optional solar products
  • More low-power boards and community builds
  • Additional pool/server operators
  • Self-hosting documentation and distributed infrastructure
  • Redundancy and failover across the network
07
FUTURE

Grow the MINI ecosystem

Let useful features follow a working network instead of getting ahead of it.

  • MINI utility inside the Mini Miners ecosystem
  • Hardware redemption and other practical uses
  • Transfers and broader market access when appropriate
  • APIs, integrations and developer tools
  • New ideas shaped by the people actually using the network

No fake countdowns. No arbitrary quarters. When it works, it moves forward.
