NerdScan Desktop App

NerdScan v1.0.0 is a free desktop tool for Windows and macOS that scans your local network and monitors AxeOS-based solo miners, including Bitaxe, NerdAxe, NerdQAxe, NerdOCTAXE, and compatible NerdMiner-style devices.

It helps you quickly find miners on your LAN, review live operating data, spot warning signs, and export basic diagnostics before contacting repair support. We built NerdScan because we were tired of opening 15 different browser tabs just to check the temperature of 15 Bitaxes. Now you can see them all in one window.

No cloud dashboard, no account system, no unnecessary circus. Just a local scanner that shows what your miners are doing.

Developed by the technical team at Antminer Repair LLC.

NerdScan was built from real repair and diagnostics workflow, not as a generic mining dashboard. We use tools like this to quickly review solo miner behavior before deeper inspection.

What NerdScan Does

NerdScan scans a local network range and automatically detects AxeOS-based solo miners through their local API. Once devices are found, the tool displays key performance and diagnostic values in one table, so you do not have to open every miner web interface manually.

  • Fast multithreaded scan of your local network
  • Automatic detection of AxeOS-compatible devices
  • Live table with hashrate, temperature, power, voltage, pool, shares, uptime, and best share
  • Auto refresh mode for ongoing monitoring
  • CSV export for saving or sending diagnostic data
  • Clickable IP addresses to open each miner web interface
  • Search field to filter the full table

Supported Devices

NerdScan is designed for local diagnostics of AxeOS-based solo miners and compatible devices that expose the expected local API data.

What You Can See in NerdScan

The main NerdScan table gives you a quick snapshot of each detected miner. This is especially useful when you have multiple solo miners on the same network and need to see which one is healthy, unstable, overheated, misconfigured, or simply not performing as expected.

Column What It Shows
IP The local IP address of the miner. Click it to open the miner web UI.
MAC The network MAC address of the detected device.
Host The device hostname reported by the miner.
Model The detected miner model, such as Bitaxe, NerdQAxe++, or NerdOCTAXE.
Ver The AxeOS firmware version reported by the device.
GH/s Current hashrate reported by the miner.
1h GH/s Average hashrate over approximately one hour, where available.
Temp Miner temperature. Yellow or red values should be treated as warning signs.
W Reported power consumption in watts.
W/TH Calculated efficiency. Lower is usually better, assuming the miner is stable.
V Reported input voltage or board voltage, depending on the device data.
Core mV Core voltage reported by the miner. Large deviation may point to unstable tuning or hardware issues.
Fan Fan speed reported by the miner.
RSSI Wi-Fi signal strength, where available. Poor signal can cause pool drops and unstable reporting.
Pool The mining pool currently configured or connected.
Acc/Rej Accepted and rejected share count.
BestShare Best share value, automatically scaled in K, M, G, or T for easier reading.
Uptime How long the miner has been running since the last restart.

Color Warnings: Green, Yellow, and Red

NerdScan uses color highlighting to make obvious problems easier to spot. The idea is simple: if everything looks normal, you keep monitoring. If something turns yellow or red, that miner deserves attention.

  • Green: the value appears to be within a normal operating range.
  • Yellow: the value may be outside the preferred range or deserves attention.
  • Red: the value may indicate overheating, low performance, voltage deviation, unstable hashrate, or another serious issue.

A yellow or red value does not automatically prove that the miner is physically damaged. It means the miner should be checked before the problem gets worse.

Common Problems NerdScan Can Help Spot

NerdScan is not a replacement for hardware diagnostics, but it can help identify symptoms that often point to cooling, tuning, power, network, or hardware problems.

  • Low hashrate: the miner is running below expected performance for its model. This may be caused by unstable tuning, overheating, weak power delivery, or hardware faults.
  • High temperature: cooling may be insufficient, airflow may be blocked, or the miner may need cleaning, fan inspection, or thermal maintenance.
  • Voltage deviation: core voltage is outside the expected range, which may cause instability or point to a power-related issue.
  • Poor efficiency: W/TH is higher than expected for the miner and settings. This can happen when the miner is unstable, overheated, or incorrectly tuned.
  • High rejected shares: the miner may have tuning, pool, network, or stability issues.
  • Weak RSSI: Wi-Fi signal may be causing connection drops or inconsistent pool communication.
  • Short uptime: repeated restarts may point to firmware, power, heat, or hardware faults. If the issue continues, check our solo miner repair services.

Local Network Only

NerdScan is built for local diagnostics. It scans the network range you enter and reads available data from miners on your LAN. It is not a cloud mining dashboard and does not require an online account.

The tool is designed to help owners, repair shops, and technicians quickly check AxeOS-based solo miners before deeper troubleshooting or repair.

When to Use NerdScan

  • Before sending a Bitaxe, NerdAxe, NerdQAxe, or NerdOCTAXE miner for repair
  • When you have several solo miners and need one table instead of multiple browser tabs
  • After changing frequency, voltage, cooling, or pool settings
  • When a miner shows unstable hashrate or repeated restarts
  • When you need to export diagnostic data before contacting support

CSV Export for Repair Support

NerdScan can export detected miner data to CSV. This makes it easier to save a snapshot of the current state or send basic diagnostic information when asking for repair help.

The CSV report can include useful fields such as model, firmware version, current hashrate, 1-hour hashrate, temperature, power, efficiency, voltage, pool, shares, best share, and uptime. That gives our repair team a better starting point before the miner is shipped or opened.

Simple workflow: scan your network, export the CSV, attach it when you contact us, and we can review the miner’s reported behavior before deeper diagnostics.

If you contact our repair team about a solo miner, attaching a NerdScan CSV export can help us understand what the miner was reporting before it was shipped or opened.

Technical FAQ

Q: What is NerdScan?
A: NerdScan is a free desktop scanner for AxeOS-based solo miners. It scans your local network, detects compatible miners, and shows key operating data in one table.
Q: Does NerdScan support Bitaxe miners?
A: Yes. NerdScan is designed to detect and monitor Bitaxe miners running AxeOS or compatible firmware with the expected local API.
Q: Does NerdScan support NerdAxe and NerdQAxe miners?
A: Yes. NerdScan supports AxeOS-based NerdAxe, NerdQAxe, NerdOCTAXE, and similar solo miner devices when they expose compatible API data.
Q: Does NerdScan work over the internet?
A: No. NerdScan is designed for local network scanning. It checks devices available on your LAN, such as miners connected to the same router or subnet.
Q: Can NerdScan tell me if my miner is broken?
A: NerdScan can show warning signs such as low hashrate, high temperature, voltage deviation, poor efficiency, weak Wi-Fi signal, or repeated restarts. It cannot replace hardware diagnostics, but it can help identify which miner needs attention.
Q: What does it mean if a value is yellow or red?
A: Yellow usually means the value deserves attention. Red usually means the value may indicate a more serious issue, such as overheating, voltage deviation, unstable performance, or another condition that should be checked.
Q: Can NerdScan change miner settings?
A: NerdScan v1.0.0 is designed as a scanner and monitoring tool. It reads data, opens miner web interfaces, filters results, and exports CSV files. It is not intended to change miner settings.
Q: Why does NerdScan show BestShare in K, M, G, or T?
A: Best share values can become large and hard to read. NerdScan automatically scales them into K, M, G, or T so the table stays readable.
Q: Can I send a NerdScan CSV file for repair support?
A: Yes. If you are contacting us about a solo miner problem, exporting a CSV from NerdScan can help show the miner model, firmware, hashrate, temperature, voltage, pool status, shares, and uptime at the time of testing.
Q: How do I find my Bitaxe IP address if it is not showing up on the network?
A: If you cannot find your Bitaxe IP address through the router, DHCP client list, or web dashboard, NerdScan can scan your local network range and look for AxeOS API responses. When the miner is powered on, connected to the same LAN, and responding correctly, NerdScan can display its current IP address in the results table.
Q: Why is my NerdMiner web interface not loading?
A: A NerdMiner or AxeOS-based miner web interface may stop loading because the device IP address changed, the browser cached an old session, the miner restarted, or the network connection became unstable. NerdScan helps by locating the active IP address on your LAN and letting you click the IP directly to open the miner web UI.
Q: What should I do if my Bitaxe is not detected by standard IP scanners?
A: Generic IP scanners usually show devices that respond on the network, but they do not always tell you which device is an AxeOS miner. NerdScan looks for AxeOS-style API responses, so it can help identify compatible miners by model, firmware, hashrate, temperature, and other reported fields instead of only showing a raw IP address.
Q: Can NerdScan help if I cannot connect to my NerdQAxe++ dashboard?
A: Yes. NerdScan can help confirm whether your NerdQAxe++ is reachable on the local network and whether it is still reporting AxeOS data. If the device appears in NerdScan but the dashboard does not open in your browser, the issue may be related to browser cache, firmware behavior, network delay, or the miner web interface rather than complete network failure.
Q: Why does NerdScan not find my miner?
A: If NerdScan does not find your miner, check that the miner is powered on, connected to the same local network, and using the same subnet range you entered in the scanner. Some routers, guest Wi-Fi networks, VPNs, firewall rules, or isolated access points can block local device discovery. If the miner is in another subnet or its API is not responding, NerdScan may not be able to detect it.
