Cryptocurrency Mining Log Generator - Hashrate & Pool Simulator | Fakeact

Simulate cryptocurrency mining logs with hashrate stats, stratum protocol, and pool submissions. Generate realistic miner output for monitoring dashboards and educational content.

Terminal preview

Press Ctrl + C to exit. Output is simulated for demo purposes only.

Overview

This module simulates hashrate stats, gpu workers, and stratum jobs log events with realistic pacing.

It is designed for demos, log pipeline testing, and documentation where the real stack is unavailable.

All output is generated locally in the browser and is safe to run.

Use cases

  • Demo cryptomining workflows without running the real stack.
  • Test log ingestion rules around hashrate stats and stratum jobs events.
  • Create screenshots, recordings, or training material on demand.

Notes

  • All output is simulated text; no system changes are made.
  • Refresh the page to restart the log stream.
  • Use the CLI for longer sessions or offline demos.

Sample output

INFO 12:00:01|stratum Received new job #1a2b3c4d seed: #abcd1234
m 12:00:02|cryptominer Speed 52.34 Mh/s gpu/0 52.34 [A1+0:R0+0:F0]
INFO 12:00:05|CUDA0 Solution found; submitted to pool
INFO 12:00:05|CUDA0 Nonce: 0x12ab34cd56ef7890
INFO 12:00:06|stratum Accepted

FAQ

Is cryptomining output real?

No. It is a simulator that prints log text only.

Can I control the speed of cryptomining?

Yes. The CLI supports speed and repeat options, and the web page can be refreshed.

Does cryptomining change my system?

No. It does not install, update, or modify anything.

What's more about cryptomining?

Cryptocurrency mining software logs hashrate, stratum jobs, and share submission results. Pool operators and miners rely on these logs.

This simulator produces similar-looking lines for testing monitoring and dashboards without connecting to any mining pool.

Stack Overflow Questions

Popular questions and answers from Stack Overflow related to cryptomining.

How to detect cryptocurrency mining malware?
Accepted Answer

Monitor for high CPU/GPU usage, check for unknown processes, watch for connections to mining pools, and use security tools. Common indicators: system slowdown, increased electricity usage, and fan noise.

What is stratum protocol in mining?
Accepted Answer

Stratum is a mining pool protocol that reduces bandwidth by sending only necessary data. Miners receive job notifications, submit shares, and the pool tracks contributions. It replaced the older getwork protocol.

What is hashrate and how is it measured?
Accepted Answer

Hashrate measures computational power - hashes per second (H/s). KH/s = 1,000 H/s, MH/s = million, GH/s = billion, TH/s = trillion. Higher hashrate means more mining power and potential rewards.

What is the difference between solo mining and pool mining?
Accepted Answer

Solo mining: you keep full block reward but may wait months/years for a block. Pool mining: combined hashpower, frequent smaller payouts based on contribution. Pools charge 1-3% fee typically.

What are mining shares and difficulty?
Accepted Answer

Shares are proof-of-work submissions to the pool at lower difficulty. Pool tracks shares to distribute rewards fairly. Difficulty adjusts how hard it is to find a valid hash - higher difficulty = harder.

How does GPU mining compare to ASIC mining?
Accepted Answer

ASICs are specialized hardware, vastly more efficient for specific algorithms (SHA-256, Scrypt). GPUs are versatile, can mine various algorithms. ASICs dominate Bitcoin; GPUs used for Ethereum (before PoS), altcoins.

What causes stale/rejected shares in mining?
Accepted Answer

Stale: network found block before your share submitted. Rejected: invalid share (wrong nonce, bad hash). Causes: slow network, pool latency, overclocking instability. Normal rate: <2% stale, <0.5% rejected.

How to calculate mining profitability?
Accepted Answer

Factors: hashrate, power consumption (watts), electricity cost ($/kWh), pool fees, coin price, network difficulty. Use calculators like WhatToMine. Profitability changes with market conditions.

What is proof of work in cryptocurrency?
Accepted Answer

PoW requires miners to solve computational puzzles (find hash below target). First to solve gets block reward. Secures network by making attacks expensive. Uses significant energy. Alternative: Proof of Stake.

How to monitor mining rig temperature?
Accepted Answer

Use nvidia-smi for NVIDIA GPUs, amd-smi for AMD. Mining software often shows temps. Tools: HWiNFO (Windows), lm-sensors (Linux). Safe range: GPU 60-75°C, VRAM under 95°C. Use thermal throttling limits.
