There is a [Detail] button on the right side of the table.
Click on [Detail] to check the detailed information of the assigned miner, including Hashrate Chart, and Pool Configuration.
You can also manage miners by clicking on ‘Setting‘ and ‘Actions‘ menu on [Miner List] page. It supports batch actions for reset, mode, LED, miner giveaway, firmware upgrade, set template, and group up.
Managing a single miner is also supported. Click the ‘Actions‘ on the specific row of the miner to check and do actions.
There Are 5 Points Need to Be Noticed:
- Only offline miners may be deleted. If you accidentally delete the online miner, it will reappear on the list in a short while.
- When connected to a key successfully, your miner will display an offline status if you give it to someone else. The miner on the page needs to be manually deleted in this case.
- Downloading the most recent firmware from GitHub is not necessary. There will show a ‘New’ sign when new firmware has been released, click ‘Update‘ and wait for the miner upgrade process. See as Figure.13
PS: You don’t need to upgrade the firmware if your miner operates normally. - The miners cannot be operated if they are not selected.
- The [Miner List] page provides search function to help you filter out specific miners quickly.

[Operation Log]
Page of [Operation Log] shows the historical actions you did to miners.
To see pertinent mining workers’ actions over time, use the Search feature.
[Benchmark]
When your miner hashrate is zero one day, you can go to the Mining Pool Config page and enter “benchmark” at the URL line, enter whatever you want for user name and password, then the miner will start self-test.
If the benchmark icon is grey, but the dashboard of the miner daily working shows hashrate, it is because of the internet issue that makes the miner hashrate to 0. Otherwise, there might be some issues with miners. Users who are having issues with the miner can use this upcoming feature to troubleshoot.
[Daily Profit Page]
The main page of Goldshell Hub has added a useful tool called Daily Profit. This table allows you to view your daily profit. That included the cryptocurrency and the earnings. You can also see if your miners are online right now by asking them about their current situation.
