Mine Bitcoin. Win Big. All while watching your favorite show.
Las Vegas — the city of bright lights and jackpots — was the perfect backdrop for Hashpot. I was inspired by the idea of turning idle devices and entertainment time into a shot at winning, combining the thrill of the lottery with the steady pulse of Bitcoin mining.
Imagine watching your favorite TV show while your screen quietly mines in the background — and suddenly, you hit a lucky block. That’s Hashpot.
Hashpot transforms your Android TV or old tablet into a fun, passive Bitcoin miner — with a twist of luck:
- ⛏️ Performs lightweight Bitcoin mining tasks
- 📺 Runs in the background while you stream shows or display useful data
- 📊 Shows real-time stats, hash performance, and lottery probabilities in a beautiful, interactive UI
It’s where crypto meets entertainment.
Hashpot is built natively for Android with a focus on performance and usability:
- Kotlin for clean, modern Android development
- Jetpack Compose for a responsive, scalable UI
- Background workers to manage mining tasks seamlessly without interrupting media playback
- ⚙️ Balancing mining intensity and device performance — ensuring mining runs smoothly without overheating or draining the system
- 📱 Designing for Android TV and tablets — adapting UI/UX for large screens and non-touch input
- 🎉 Made mining and lottery mechanics fun and approachable
- 🖥️ Gave new purpose to old tablets and TVs
- 🔄 Achieved seamless background mining with real-time visual stats
- TV-friendly UX design requires a different mindset than mobile
- Lightweight Bitcoin mining can introduce new users to blockchain in a friendly way
- ⛓️ Stratum V2 Integration — for more efficient, secure mining
- 🌍 Expanding device support and optimizing for lower-power hardware
