Built a minimalistic UI for running a Bitcoin ASIC miner as a space heater. Runs locally on Umbrel/StartOS and simple enough that even my wife can use it.

Problem: I named it "hashboard" when I had the idea for the app and kept the name while working on it. Turns out there's another app called Hashboard (hashboardapp.com) by ENKoDED Software, much more advanced.

I'm not interested in fighting over a name I won't defend, and I'd rather avoid confusion and potential conflicts down the road.

Thinking of renaming to Blisspoint. I think it fits the vibe - simple, warm, private mining for anyone who just want heat (and sats) without needing the technical know-how.

Anyone seen "Blisspoint" used anywhere in the bitcoin/mining space? Or got better naming ideas for the controller?

Repo (with current name): github.com/heatpunk/hashboard

Blisspoint is a good name (not heard it used in Bitcoin before), but it doesn't exactly say what it is. Of course, you may not need it to say what it is.

I've always hoped that someone would come out with a home miner space heater project called spaceminer, but that's not exactly much better.

I appreciate how you think. Any cool names (not already taken) for some kind of control for a space ship? Maybe something retro futuristic scifi-ish?

As a Calvin and Hobbes fan, it'd be fun to see something like spiffboard or spiffy

I need to think of other ideas.

Calvin and Hobbes
Had forgot about them!
spiffy
Honestly, that could be a good name for some remote function thingy. It's a catchy name though, not written off as a candidate!

I like the name. A few more ideas, just for fun!

  • Homebase
  • Thermohash
  • bASIC Controller
  • Heatlink
  • AirLoom

Ooo, good names! bASIC is a nice. Might need to sleep on that one for sure.

Nice app!

I haven't seen a Blisspoint used in Bitcoin anywhere.

Thank you =)

I also haven't seen Blisspoint but people will expect it to be sexual

reply

I can't help but to wonder how it would relate to something sexual but I'll take note of that

Good luck with it. I'm not a fan of Blisspoint TBH. How about Toast or Hotsats?

reply

Toast.. yeah you might be on to something.
