Your first rig in 3 steps
A rig is simply a computer you use for mining.
Create your cockpit
Open the cockpit and save its 12 recovery words. You do not need an email address or password.
Connect your computer
Choose Add a rig. Run the line it gives you on the computer that will mine.
Choose what to mine
Create a mining sheet with your coin, wallet address and pool. Apply it to your rig to start mining.
Have your coin's public wallet address and your chosen pool's connection details ready.
These 12 words recover your cockpit. They are separate from your wallet's recovery phrase.

- Give the rig a mining sheet: coin, wallet, pool.
Without the cockpit: one command.
| What | A mining OS | FearMiner |
|---|---|---|
| The machine | Boots the vendor's OS from a USB drive or a disk. | Runs on your existing system. |
| Account | An account on the vendor's site. | Recovery words, with an optional passkey. |
| Who sees your fleet | The vendor's service, which runs the dashboard. | Encrypted between your devices and rigs. |
| Updates | The OS updates its miners. | Cockpit updates for eligible Linux services. Other platforms have their own update steps. |
| The dashboard's price | The vendor's plans, per rig. | Free cockpit, with a mining fee per algorithm. |
1 Counted in the vendors' own guides, read on 2026-09-24, from the account to a rig that mines: Hive OS 11 (its quick installation guide, then a wallet and a flight sheet), mmpOS 11, SimpleMining 9. Each replaces the system installed on the machine.
Choose how you want to run it
Use the cockpit, your mining OS or the command line.
Your computer + cockpit
Install FearMiner on Linux, Windows or macOS on Apple silicon. Manage the rig from your browser.
Set up with the cockpitInstall before connecting a cockpit
This installs FearMiner. To connect it to your cockpit, use the command supplied by Add a rig. Without a wallet or mining sheet, the miner waits for settings.
curl -fsSL https://get.fearminer.com | sh
irm https://get.fearminer.com/win | iex
Command line
Run FearMiner directly in a terminal with your wallet address and pool.
See the commandHiveOS and mmpOS
Keep your mining OS. Add FearMiner as a custom miner and connect it to the same cockpit.
HiveOS
Your flight sheet chooses what the rig mines. The cockpit shows its status and lets you pause, resume or restart it.
Set up on HiveOSmmpOS · Beta
Your miner profile chooses what the rig mines. The cockpit shows its status and lets you pause, resume or restart it.
Built against the published mmpOS guide. Not yet tested on a real mmpOS rig.
Set up on mmpOSExample argument
--enroll YOUR_ENROLLMENT_CODE
HiveOS manages miner updates. On mmpOS, each update needs the new release URL in the miner profile.

The cockpit
See every rig. Act from anywhere.
Open your cockpit on a phone or PC to check mining and control your rigs.
Check each rig
See mining speed, status and history. View temperature, fan and power readings where the hardware supports them.
Set up mining once
Save the coin, wallet address and pools in a mining sheet. Apply it to one rig or several.
On HiveOS and mmpOS, the flight sheet or miner profile controls what the rig mines.
Pause, resume, restart
Control one rig or a selection. Each rig reports whether the command succeeded.
Update 3 rigs to FearMiner 1.24.0?×
What happensEach rig downloads FearMiner 1.24.0, checks its signature against the release key, installs it and restarts: about a minute without mining. If the new version does not come up, the previous one comes back by itself.
2 HiveOS rigs are left as they are: HiveOS updates their miner.
2 rigs need the install line run once more before they can update from here (see each rig).

Update 3 rigsCancel
Update Linux rigs
Update eligible Linux services from the cockpit. Each rig checks the release signature and restores the previous version if the new one fails to start.
Review wallet changes
Set a notice on a rig and a new wallet waits before taking effect. Cancel a pending change from the cockpit or the rig.

Command line
Run it from the command line
Start the miner in a terminal with your wallet address and pool.
Example: Pearl
$ fearminer -a pearl -o stratum+ssl://POOL:PORT -u YOUR_WALLET -w rig1
-a pearl- Algorithm: choose one supported by your hardware.
-o POOL:PORT- Pool: stratum+ssl://POOL:PORT, your pool's host and port.
-u YOUR_WALLET- Wallet: use your public receiving address.
-w rig1- Worker: give this rig a name.

What the relay sees

End-to-end encryption protects messages between your browser and your rigs.

relay.fearminer.compasses sealed messages
sealed end to end
your browserholds the fleet key
The relay can see
Connection metadata, including IP addresses, timing and traffic size.
Rig identifiers, public keys, enrollment records, software versions and last contact.
What the relay cannot read
The rig names, wallet addresses, pools, hashrates and hardware details inside encrypted cockpit messages.
It cannot sign commands or add a valid rig to your fleet.
Mining does not depend on the cockpit
If the relay goes offline, your rigs keep mining while they try to reconnect.
Remote connection interrupted
The remote view and controls wait. Mining continues.
FearMiner servers unavailable
The miner can use verified fee terms and engines already available on the rig.
Your data stays with you
Mining history stays on the rigs. Your device also keeps your cockpit lists.
Mining still needs a connection to your pool.
What it costs
Free cockpit. A mining fee per algorithm.
No subscription and no charge per rig.

Open the calculatorQuestions
Questions before you start
Short answers, with setup details when you need them.
Do I need to reinstall my operating system?
No. FearMiner runs on supported Linux, Windows and Apple silicon Macs. HiveOS and mmpOS use custom-miner packages.
Can I inspect the installer first?
Yes. Read the script before running it, or download and verify the files yourself. The docs explain the checks used on each platform.
Can I mine without the cockpit?
Yes. Run FearMiner in a terminal with your wallet address and pool. You can connect a cockpit later.
Is the cockpit free? Do I need an account?
The cockpit is free. No email or password is required. Save the 12 recovery words when you create it.
What can the relay see?
Connection metadata and the records needed to connect your rigs. It cannot read encrypted cockpit messages or sign your commands.
Can the relay change my wallet?
It cannot create a valid signed wallet change. A rig can also make wallet changes wait a notice you choose, cancellable meanwhile.
What if FearMiner's services go offline?
Your rigs can keep mining using locally available engines and fee terms. They still need a connection to the pool.
What if I lose the 12 recovery words?
FearMiner cannot recover them. An already-open cockpit can keep working, and your rigs keep mining. Save the words when you create the cockpit.
Which rigs can update from the cockpit?
Eligible Linux services. HiveOS manages its own updates. mmpOS needs the new package URL. On Windows and macOS, run the installer again.
Can HiveOS and mmpOS rigs join my cockpit?
Yes. Add the enrollment argument to the custom-miner settings. The mining OS still chooses what to mine. mmpOS support is beta and has not been tested on a real rig.
How is the mining fee taken?
Through separate one-minute fee rounds. The algorithm list shows the rate, and the log shows each round.
What telemetry does the miner send?
Anonymous usage reports include hardware details, a hashrate range, a random installation ID and the first pool's hostname. Inspect them with fearminer telemetry show, or disable them with --no-telemetry.
Will my hardware work?
Support depends on the algorithm, operating system and hardware. Check the requirements before installing.
Why does Windows or macOS warn about the download?
The binaries are not yet signed for those operating systems. Release files have a separate signature you can verify. Follow the platform-specific verification instructions in the docs.
Start with one rig
Create your cockpit, connect your computer and choose what to mine.
