The Hashcore team has released version 1.7.1 of its ASIC miner management software. The update covers virtually all key areas of the software’s functionality: firmware installation, hardware monitoring, device management, network operations, data import and export, as well as support for new miner models. The developers have simultaneously expanded farm administration capabilities, improved compatibility with modern Bitmain devices, added tools, and implemented a range of solutions that are equally useful for both home mining and industrial mining sites.

A new way to install firmware on modern Bitmain devices
One of the most significant changes is the introduction of a new mechanism for installing firmware on Bitmain miners running official software versions released after September 2025. In recent years, the manufacturer has been gradually strengthening the protection of its devices against third-party software. As a result, each new generation of official firmware creates additional difficulties for users who wish to use alternative solutions for advanced hardware configuration. Hashcore Toolkit 1.7.1 implements a new approach to working with such devices, significantly simplifying the process of installing VNISH on modern Bitmain models. At the same time, the detection of installed firmware on CVITEK control boards has been improved. This ensures better compatibility not only with current models but also with future hardware updates.
Device notes: a small feature with great practical value
Now every miner can create their own note directly within the Hashcore Toolkit interface. Notes can be viewed, edited and applied in bulk to groups of devices. For example, a miner owner can mark miners as repaired, record diagnostic results, note specific operational characteristics of a particular device, or leave service information. A separate column has been added to the device table for quick access to this data.
New diagnostic capabilities
Users now have a tool that allows them to export diagnostic reports even from locked devices running Vnish firmware. This means that technical information for fault analysis can now be obtained even in cases where access to the miner is restricted. This approach reduces the time spent identifying the causes of faults and speeds up interaction between users and technical support.
DNS instead of IP addresses
Another important change concerns device addressing. Hashcore Toolkit now supports the use of DNS names as miner addresses. For many corporate networks, this significantly simplifies equipment administration and reduces reliance on static IP addresses. The import of network groups from files containing DNS records has also been implemented. This allows you to quickly transfer a ready-made network structure between different workstations.
Advanced search and filtering capabilities
In large farms, the speed of finding the required devices is often just as important as the monitoring itself.
Release 1.7.1 introduces new filters:
- ► By power consumption limit;
- ► By the Find Miner function.
These tools allow you to quickly find devices with specific parameters, check the results of bulk configuration changes, or quickly locate the required miner among a large number of devices.
Support for Antminer S21e XP Hydro
The developers continue to expand the list of compatible models. The new version adds support for the Antminer S21e XP Hydro, as well as its variants with AML control boards. This allows owners of new devices to utilise all the capabilities of the Hashcore Toolkit for monitoring, managing, and maintaining their equipment. In addition, support for WhatsMiner API version 2.2.2 has been implemented, ensuring correct operation with the latest WhatsMiner models.
Importing and exporting application data
Another important area of development has been data handling. Hashcore Toolkit 1.7.1 allows you to import and export application data to transfer settings between computers. This feature is particularly useful for users who work on multiple workstations or regularly back up their configuration. The hashrate export mechanism has been updated separately. Values and units of measurement are now exported into separate columns, simplifying further data processing in spreadsheets and reports.
New settings cloning capabilities
Cloning settings has long been one of the most popular tools for managing large farms. Version 1.7.1 adds support for the Power Limit disable option when cloning configurations. The display of presets in the relevant dialogue box has also been updated, and a unit of measurement field is automatically added for the Power Delta parameter. These changes make bulk device configuration more predictable and convenient.
Interface and stability improvements
The update has affected virtually all key interface elements. The system now displays active sorting and grouping fields, allowing you to navigate data display settings more quickly. Previously missing fields have been added to the sorting menu. Hotkey handling has also been updated, the filter clearing combination in Windows has been updated, the positioning of elements in the centre of templates has been corrected, and the behaviour of the scroll bar has been adjusted. A significant part of this release is dedicated to bug fixes and improving reliability.
Issues have been resolved with:
- ► Detecting Bitmain devices;
- ► Detection of devices with Luxor firmware;
- ► DNS resolution;
- ► Firmware installation timeouts;
- ► Retrieving Bitmain Hydro temperatures;
- ► Retrieving WhatsMiner data;
- ► Display of negative power consumption values;
- ► Duplicating devices when grouping;
- ► Scaling the device list;
- ► Saving network groups.
Individual improvements have been made to the Android, iOS and macOS versions of the app. For Android, the file system handling mechanism has been updated to meet the current requirements of the operating system, and for macOS, the principle of data saving between Sandbox and Non-Sandbox environments has been changed. For users wishing to learn more about the app’s capabilities, a Documentation section has been prepared with instructions on installing firmware, managing miners, configuring network groups, working with pools and other platform features.
Why you should upgrade to Hashcore Toolkit 1.7.1
Hashcore Toolkit 1.7.1 is one of the most significant updates in recent times. A new mechanism for installing firmware on modern Bitmain devices, support for the Antminer S21e XP Hydro, a note-taking system for miners, data import and export, enhanced diagnostic capabilities and dozens of bug fixes make the Toolkit an even more functional tool for managing ASIC equipment. A distinctive feature of this release is that it does not focus on a single area of development. The update covers the entire miner management cycle: from detecting devices on the network and installing firmware to monitoring, administration, cloning settings and technical diagnostics. As a result, users receive not just individual new features, but a comprehensive improvement to their daily work with the equipment. Support for new Bitmain models and improvements to the mechanisms for working with the latest official firmware deserve special mention. Against the backdrop of constant changes by hardware manufacturers, this allows for maintaining compatibility and ensuring stable device management via a single interface. For owners of multiple miners, the new version means greater convenience and fewer routine operations. For professional mining farms, it provides additional monitoring tools, faster execution of routine tasks, and improved efficiency when managing large numbers of devices. That is why Hashcore Toolkit 1.7.1 can be considered one of the most significant platform updates in recent months.
