Energy That Is Ready for What Comes Next Absorbs Energy. Generates Value.
Proof-of-work is our first principle: a surplus watt can become verifiable value. Melanin runs verified Bitcoin onboarding and a live mining pool; rewards and payouts are operated as separate services.
Access Status
Bitcoin is the public project. Verify an email to open your dashboard, add a wallet and workers, and request mining access.
- Bitcoin dashboard
- Verify an email and your Bitcoin dashboard opens — wallets, workers, and connection details in one place. Access is by review, and your endpoint appears in the dashboard once you are approved.
- Alpha
- The Bitcoin pool is running and accepting work. Access is granted by review.
- Separate services
- Payout records and earnings reports are a separate service and do not exist yet.

How It Works
Energy → Verified Setup → Mining
Melanin helps energy and hardware operators prepare a verified configuration, then bring the mining connection online.
Connect
Verify your account, record compatible hardware, and configure your workers. Connection details are private — they are issued in your dashboard once access is approved.
Mine
Once your secure gateway is enabled, your configured workers mine on the pool — Solo and Collaborative both available.
Save
The fee is published: 97% to the miner, 3% to the platform, written into the block’s own coinbase, so the design is non-custodial by construction. Melanin does not publish payout records.
What you can verify
Checkable, not claimed
The fee is readable in the coinbase of every block Melanin mines — a fact you can check, not a number we assert. Performance and reward claims stay off this site until the records behind them are reconciled and published. Three things have to be true first.
Advantages
You keep the hardware, the address, and the keys
Melanin is non-custodial by construction: your share is written into the block’s own coinbase transaction, so Melanin never holds private keys or funds and there is no balance to withdraw. The split is 97% miner / 3% platform, readable by anyone in the block itself, not promised in a terms page.
A phone works. So does an ASIC. One account covers a Raspberry Pi on a solar roof and a rack in a data centre, solo or shared.
Your kit, your power and where you are decide the setup. We work it out with you.
Power you would otherwise sell back can mine instead — solar, hydro, wind, or industrial load going to waste. The connection needs very little bandwidth, so it holds up on patchy and off-grid links worldwide.
Onboarding
Get Started Checklist
Everything needed to open a verified account and configure your workers.
You need three things: a machine you already own, a Bitcoin wallet address you control, and an email you can verify. That is the whole list.
- A machine
- Windows 10 or later, macOS 12 or later, a modern Linux (glibc 2.31+), a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5, or Android 8 and above — all 64-bit. Click detects what you have and configures the right mode for it. What a phone, a Pi or a laptop actually does →
- A wallet address
- Any non-custodial wallet you control — desktop, mobile, lightweight or hardware. Your share is written into the block’s own coinbase, 97% to you and 3% to the platform, so it arrives in that wallet directly. Your wallet holds the record. The wallet-setup walkthrough in Academy →
- An email you can verify
- Onboarding needs a verified address, and nothing is configured until it is confirmed.
Mining holds a processor at sustained load, so check that airflow around the device is unobstructed and that the circuit can carry it — a standard ASIC miner draws around 3250 W. On Android, Click mines only while the device is charging and below 42 °C. Full thermal and electrical guide →
