This quick guides covers how to install and configure Pickaxe, our agent.

1. Sign Up

First, you’ll need to sign up here (enjoy a free, full-featured 30 day trial). When you create a password, it needs to be minimum of 8 characters. It can't be all numbers or contain certain attributes about the user, or be on a list of common passwords. Once you’re done, you’ll be directed to your private dashboard:

Your private, custom dashboard.

2. Install Our Agent

Pickaxe is our agent that feeds real-time metrics to your private dashboard. It needs to be installed, and how you do that depends on your mining setup. You can find detailed information for this here. If you’re a Linux user, it’s short, sweet, and looks something like this:

3. Add a Miner

Once you have Pickaxe running, you can add your miners to Foreman. Once they’re added, the sync process can take ~2 minutes:

Have an ASIC farm? Add them all in one swoop:

4. Grab a 🍺!

After a few minutes, you should start seeing real-time data on your dashboard. Assuming your miners are healthy, things will go green:

An updating, populated dashboard.

Now you can play around and see what Foreman has to offer. Customize your dashboard, view your real-time earnings, configure alerting, and remotely change your ASIC pools.
