WhatsMiner Tool for ASIC fleet setup and maintenance
Latest manufacturer release: WhatsMiner Tool 9.2.5 (EXE version 9.2.5.0721), checked October 4, 2026. The hosted ZIP still contains the earlier WhatsMinerTool-9.2.1.exe file.
Use WhatsMiner Tool on Windows to discover MicroBT WhatsMiner devices on your LAN, change pools and passwords, enable API access, export logs and apply compatible firmware updates.
This is an operator guide. The local EXE is packaged as ZIP for convenience; recheck the WhatsMiner tools page before replacing it with a newer file.
Operator guideUse this site as an operator checklist, then verify current files on vendor support pages.
LAN-first workflowUse the tool on the same subnet or over a private VPN, not through exposed public ASIC ports.
Firmware-dependentSome remote control and API functions require newer WhatsMiner firmware.
Operator cautionBatch firmware and power actions should be tested on a small group before farm-wide changes.
Download and verification
Download the ZIP, then verify the file before use
The local ZIP contains the supplied EXE; see the download page for its identifiers. Compare the file identity with the vendor source and review compatibility before opening it.
PackageZIP (EXE)
Download ZIP A filename or download label does not prove that a file is safe. Check the source, package size, release notes and security scan results before running it; grant administrator access only when a documented operation requires it.
1. Confirm the source
This page serves a locally packaged EXE in ZIP format. Keep the WhatsMiner tools page as the source of truth before replacing the file.
2. Review file details
Match the version, file extension and release notes to your miner series and control board before using upgrade functions.
3. Run from a trusted PC
Use a clean Windows workstation on the same LAN. If remote, connect by VPN rather than opening miner ports to the internet.
4. Test in a small batch
Apply password, API, pool or firmware changes to a limited group first, then expand after the miners report stable status.
Setup workflow
Four steps for first-run WhatsMiner Tool setup
This flow matches the main operational intent: find miners, secure the admin account, enable API where needed and only then run pool or firmware operations.
Add the IP range
Open Miner IP management, enter the start and end address for the miner subnet, save the range and start scanning for online devices.
Update credentials
Change the default admin password through WhatsMiner Tool when API operations or third-party monitoring tools require authenticated access.
Enable needed actions
Use Remote Ctrl for supported actions such as API Switch, reboot, LED flash, log export, power mode or mining control after confirming firmware support.
Operational functions
What WhatsMiner Tool helps operators do
Start with one miner: discover its address, confirm its model and firmware, and check its current settings before applying a change to a group. Use the setup guide for the first connection and troubleshooting steps if discovery fails.
IP discovery
Scan LAN ranges and build a working list of WhatsMiner ASICs before setup, troubleshooting or bulk operations.
Pool configuration
Apply pool URLs, workers and credentials across selected miners when the network and authentication settings are ready.
Password updates
Set admin credentials needed for API-enabled monitoring and remote commands in tools such as ASIC Hub or Awesome Miner.
API switch
Enable or disable API access on supported firmware so third-party monitoring tools can read status and run allowed commands.
Firmware updates
Upload compatible .bin firmware files for the correct miner series. Read release notes before upgrading or downgrading.
Logs and remote control
Export diagnostic logs, reboot selected miners, flash LEDs for location and adjust supported power or mining modes.
Interface evidence
Screens used during setup and maintenance
Use the examples below to identify the IP-range controls and plan the order of your checks. The interface and available actions can differ by tool and firmware version.
Miner IP range setup
Add the subnet range first so the tool can discover devices before pool, password or firmware actions.
M-series hardware
Function availability depends on miner generation, control board and the firmware installed on that device.
Farm maintenance workflow
Use a predictable order: scan, authenticate, confirm compatibility, test selected miners, then roll out changes.
Compatibility notes
Firmware and model support should be checked before each action
Read the exact model and control-board information from the miner before choosing a firmware file. Follow the firmware checklist and the relevant M30, M50 or M60 guide; a family name alone does not establish compatibility.
| Miner family | Typical use with WhatsMiner Tool | Operator check | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| M60 / M50 / M30 series | IP scan, monitoring, pool settings, logs, supported remote control and firmware workflow. | Confirm current firmware release notes, control board type and whether the desired function requires newer firmware. | Common target |
| M2x series | Legacy firmware updates and basic management tasks may require specific tool/firmware combinations. | Read the exact firmware note before upgrade. Older releases may prohibit rollback to earlier versions. | Legacy caution |
| M10 / D1 / M3 families | Older maintenance and upgrade workflows can differ from newer M-series miners. | Use model-specific instructions and avoid applying new-family assumptions to older control boards. | Model-specific |
| Third-party dashboards | Hiveon ASIC Hub, Awesome Miner, minerstat and Foreman may require API access, credentials or local hub setup. | Use WhatsMiner Tool only for the initial vendor-side configuration the dashboard requires. | Integration setup |
Security and safety
Keep miner management private and reversible
Review the security checklist before enabling remote access or changing miner settings. Keep a record of the original configuration and test changes on one device first.
- Do not expose miner web, API or SSH ports to the public internet. Use a VPN for off-site administration.
- Change default credentials before enabling API operations or connecting to third-party monitoring systems.
- Keep old settings documented so you can restore pools, worker names and passwords after a failed batch change.
- Review firmware release notes for rollback limits, supported control boards and model-specific warnings.
- Power, overclocking and profitability outcomes depend on firmware, hardware condition, electricity cost, uptime and network difficulty.
Monitoring integrations
Where WhatsMiner Tool fits beside ASIC management platforms
When connecting a miner to a monitoring platform, confirm the API permissions and credentials it requires. The WhatsMiner API setup guide explains the checks to complete before allowing access.
Awesome Miner
Windows-based management platform with broad ASIC support, automation and remote actions after vendor-side setup.
minerstat ASIC Hub
Cloud dashboard and hub workflow for monitoring, alerts and management across many manufacturers.
Hiveon ASIC Hub
Local hub plus Hive OS account workflow for monitoring, pool management and notifications.
Foreman
Operations platform for larger mining facilities with remote command, troubleshooting and fleet workflows.

Where should I download WhatsMiner Tool?
Use the download page to check the hosted ZIP and release notes. Verify current releases against the vendor downloads link in the sources section below. This is an independent guide; a locally hosted file is not proof of publisher approval.
Why can the tool fail to find miners?
Check that your Windows PC and miners are on the same subnet or reachable through a VPN. Confirm the IP range, Windows Firewall rules, antivirus network scanning blocks and whether the miners are still booting.
How do I enable WhatsMiner API access?
Add the miners, update the admin password through WhatsMiner Tool where required, then use Remote Ctrl and Miner API Switch to enable API access on supported firmware.
Which firmware file should I upload?
Use the .bin firmware file for the exact model family and control board. Do not upload random archives directly, and do not downgrade if release notes prohibit rollback.
Can I manage miners remotely over the internet?
Avoid exposing ASIC management ports publicly. Use a VPN such as WireGuard or OpenVPN to reach the farm LAN, then run WhatsMiner Tool as if you were on-site.
Why can antivirus software flag mining tools?
Network scanners and mining utilities can trigger heuristic warnings. Do not bypass warnings blindly; verify the source, scan the archive and use a dedicated admin workstation when possible.
