OverMiner Nano

Pocket-sized Kaspa lottery miner with a touchscreen

Price: ~$15 hardware (DIY firmware flash)

Available • v1.0.0
Important: OverMiner Nano and Lite are ultra-low hashrate devices. Mining will only produce valid shares on the OverBuild Labs Solo Mining Pool, which is specifically modified to accept fractional difficulty. Do not expect other pools to support the low difficulty required by these devices. Hardware terms & disclaimers.

Bring your own hardware

OverMiner Nano is open-source firmware for the ESP32-2432S028R, commonly sold as the "Cheap Yellow Display" (CYD). Source the board from your preferred retailer, flash our firmware, and you're mining.

  4. 4

    First-boot setup

    Power the board via USB-Micro, then connect to the "OverMiner-Nano-XXXX" WiFi network it advertises. The captive portal opens automatically — pick your home WiFi, enter the credentials, and the device joins your LAN.

  5. 5

    Configure mining

    Open the device's web UI (mDNS name or IP shown on the screen). Enter pool URL stratum+tcp://pool.overbuildlabs.com:5558, your Kaspa wallet address, and a worker name. Save and start mining.

  6. 6

    Track shares

    Lifetime share and block counters live on-device. Pool-side stats appear on our pool dashboard.

Default web UI password: kaspa123 — change it from the device's web UI on first login.

Plays well with OverManager

OverMiner Nano announces itself via mDNS so OverManager can auto-discover it on your LAN. Monitor hashrate, restart, configure pool — same interface as your ASICs.
