UI CodeCommunity Dashboard for the Sigmanauts Ergo Pool

What Is a Mining Pool Dashboard?

A mining pool combines the computing power of many miners so that rewards arrive more regularly than they would for a single machine working alone. Each participant contributes work and is credited according to the share of work submitted. A dashboard sits on top of that process and turns raw pool data into something readable.

Without a dashboard, a miner typically relies on log files, command-line output or a pool website that updates slowly. A well-built interface gathers the key figures in one place: how much work your rig is contributing, whether it is connected, and how those numbers change over time. That makes it easier to notice problems such as a disconnected worker or an unexpected drop in activity.

UI Code belongs to this category. It is a community-built front end for the Sigmanauts pool, so its main job is presentation and monitoring rather than mining itself. Understanding that distinction helps set expectations: the dashboard shows what is happening, while your mining software and hardware still do the actual work.

Key Terms: Hashrate, Shares and Stratum

Hashrate is the number of calculations a mining device performs per second. It is the headline figure most miners watch, but it is only one part of the picture. Higher hashrate generally means more work submitted to the pool, although results also depend on network conditions that change over time.

Shares are the proofs of work a miner sends to the pool. Tracking accepted and rejected shares tells you whether your hardware and connection are healthy. A rising rate of rejected shares often points to latency, a misconfigured miner or an unstable connection.

Stratum is the protocol most mining software uses to communicate with a pool. When a pool interface mentions stratum or TLS settings, it is describing how that conversation is routed and secured. Choosing the right connection option is therefore a matter of both performance and security.

Who Is UI Code For?

UI Code is most useful for people who already mine Ergo on the Sigmanauts pool and want a clearer view of their operation. A home miner running a single rig can use the dashboard to check that the machine is online and contributing. Someone managing several rigs benefits more, because one screen can replace checking each machine separately.

The tool also suits hobbyists who like to tinker. Because the code is open source, technically inclined users can read how the interface works, adapt it or contribute fixes. That openness is an advantage, but it also means the project depends on community effort rather than a dedicated support team.

It is less suited to people who expect a polished commercial product with guaranteed support. Beginners who have never configured mining software may want to learn the basics first, since the dashboard reports on a setup rather than creating one. If you are new to mining, start small and test your connection before scaling up.

Supported coins

The interface is documented for Ergo (ERG) and the Autolykos mining algorithm, which is the pairing it is built around. If you plan to mine other networks, look for a tool designed for those networks rather than assuming this dashboard will adapt to them.
