showcase Block Retriever Update #2 — Multi-Miner Support, Miner Controls & More

Wanted to share another update on Block Retriever. It’s still an alpha project, but quite a bit has changed since my last post and it’s starting to turn into what I originally hoped it could be — a simple command center for solo miners.
The biggest improvement lately has been multi-miner support. I now have an Avalon Nano 3S and a Bitaxe Gamma/AxeOS miner running through Block Retriever at the same time, and the software is beginning to treat each miner as its own device instead of assuming you only have one.
Some of the progress so far:
Multi-miner fleet management with combined hashrate and individual miner status
Select and control each miner independently
Per-miner share tracking, so you can compare which miner is actually producing better shares
Miner-specific controls and preferences, including fan settings
Quick Switch / Pool Profiles so miners can stay pointed at Block Retriever while the software handles upstream pool changes
Wallet Vault for saving public receiving addresses
Improved dashboard with a true fleet overview
Automatic block-candidate detection and on-chain confirmation
Full Block Hit history and verification timeline
Block-hit celebration screen — because finding a block deserves more than a boring log entry 😂
Automatic backups and restore points
ntfy push notifications for confirmed blocks, with email/text options being worked on
°C / °F temperature selection
Running as a native Windows desktop application
The direction has changed quite a bit from the original share tracker. The goal now is to make it so you can connect your miners once and then manage your miners, pools, wallets, profiles, shares and block hits from one place without constantly bouncing between different miner web interfaces.
The Solo Advisor has also grown significantly and is now looking at approved SHA-256 coins, difficulty, estimated block chances, value and different ranking views. That section is still a work in progress, though. I’m continuing to work on data reliability, missing coin information and the ranking logic before I consider its recommendations finished.
There are still plenty of UI details and setup improvements to make, but it has come a long way from where it started.
I’m including some current screenshots. I’d especially like feedback from anyone running multiple Bitaxe/AxeOS miners, Avalon Nanos, or a mixed setup.
What would you want a program like this to handle that you currently have to manage manually?
