nicehash-calculator-web

A website that automatically estimates the profitability of buying hashing power on NiceHash. If you're just looking for the calculations, then please visit the website: https://nicehash.garbomuffin.com

My nicehash-calculator project is responsible for doing the calculations; this project is effectively just a web frontend for its data.

Cloning

$ git clone https://github.com/GarboMuffin/nicehash-calculator-web

Installing and building

# install the dependencies for the website
npm install

Development setup

You may want to download the latest data.json and save it as data.json in the root of the repository to skip waiting a few minutes for a data update to finish, but this is not required.

Data will not be automatically updated by default. For most development purposes the age of the data doesn't matter; there just has to be something to render. This can be changed by enabling production mode (see "Production Setup" below) or by setting module.exports.ALLOW_UPDATES to true in src/config.js.

Running it

node index

(If you get a TypeError: util.promisify is not a function or similar, make sure you're running Node 8 or higher.)

By default this listens on port 8080, and you can visit http://localhost:8080 in your browser to visit the site. You can change the this with the PORT environment variable or by changing module.exports.PORT in src/config.js.

Production Setup

Enable production mode by setting the NODE_ENV environment variable to production (recommended, many services do this for you) or by setting module.exports.IN_PRODUCTION to true in src/config.js. This should also enable automatic data updates unless you made further changes to the configuration.

You can edit module.exports.REFRESH_TIME to change the time between each data update in milliseconds. You can also edit module.exports.DISABLED_COINS to restrict or increase the amount of coins to be displayed. (hint: use coin or algorithm names and tickers) You'll probably want to change some of the templates in src/views such as GitHub links (index.pug), donation addresses (layout.pug), data licensing (history/list.pug), etc.
