Universal Miner Interface
One View.
Different Hardware.
Observe miners without relearning every dashboard.
IIC is developing a universal miner interface intended to discover, identify, observe, and eventually manage different cryptocurrency mining devices through one consistent local environment.
Normalize useful information. Reduce unnecessary complexity.
Naming Status
The application does not have a final product name yet.
Several names have been explored internally, but the project is still revealing what it wants to become.
Publicly, it remains the Universal Miner Interface while development continues.
Why It Exists
Mining hardware speaks too many interface languages.
Different miner manufacturers and models expose information through different interfaces, layouts, terminology, and assumptions.
The Universal Miner Interface is being developed to reduce that unnecessary variation by observing hardware locally and presenting useful operational information through one consistent environment.
Core Question
What does the operator actually need to know?
The objective is not to reproduce every manufacturer's interface. It is to recognize the useful information, normalize it, and present it clearly.
Discover. Identify. Normalize. Observe.
Miner Identification
Identify discovered miners and distinguish individual devices.
Persistent Farm Inventory
Preserve selected miner identities rather than requiring rediscovery on every use.
Multi-Manufacturer Observation
Develop a common observation layer across differing miner hardware.
Normalized Hashrate
Present mining performance consistently despite differences in manufacturer interfaces.
Hashboard Statistics
Present individual board information where supported by the miner.
Temperature & Fans
Surface relevant thermal and cooling observations in a consistent form.
Health & Status
Provide clear state information without requiring the operator to translate manufacturer-specific dashboards.
Expandable Miner Views
Allow farm-level overview with deeper per-miner inspection.
Local Credentials
Keep miner access and authentication within the operator's local environment.
Farm-Level Observation
Observe multiple miners together rather than treating every device as an isolated dashboard.
Node Visibility
Additional operational views, including node visibility, remain an emerging development direction.
Different miners. One developing interface.
The project has already been exercised against multiple ASIC miner types during development.
That testing is being used to learn where manufacturers expose similar information differently, which information is genuinely useful to operators, and what can be normalized without hiding meaningful hardware differences.
More than a skin over miner dashboards.
The objective is not simply to place a new visual layer over manufacturer interfaces.
The developing architecture discovers miners, identifies them, retrieves useful information, normalizes that information where appropriate, and creates a consistent operator-facing environment.
Build tools around what operators actually need.
Relationship to BisonPool
Observe the machines. Observe the networks.
The Universal Miner Interface observes and interacts with mining hardware regardless of manufacturer.
BisonPool observes mining networks, contributed work, share and block evidence, accounting, rewards, and payouts.
The two projects naturally complement one another, but they remain separate systems with different responsibilities.

Active research. No public release yet.
The Universal Miner Interface is active IIC development work and has already been tested against multiple miner types.
Discovery, persistence, normalization, expanded device support, operational tooling, and interface refinement remain under development.
There is no public download, signup, final product name, or announced release date at this time.
