How to Read Your Hosting Dashboard Like a Pro

For anyone serious about crypto mining, knowing how to interpret your hosting dashboard is key to maximizing performance and payouts. Whether you're running a KS5L for Kaspa or an AE2 for Aleo, your IceRiver EU hosting dashboard offers all the critical metrics you need. In this guide, we’ll break down the most important data points — and how to use them to stay ahead.

📈 Uptime Percentage: Your First Line of Defense

What it is: Uptime shows how often your miner is online and hashing. A 99.9% uptime means your machine was running nearly 24/7.

Why it matters: Even a 1% drop in uptime can result in noticeable revenue loss. Frequent downtimes may signal power issues, poor internet connection at the site, or configuration problems.

Pro Tip: If you see irregular uptime patterns, contact support or explore IceRiver’s AI Smart Mining feature — designed to auto-optimize and stabilize your uptime.

⚙️ Hashrate Trends: The Pulse of Your Miner

What it is: Hashrate shows your miner’s computing power. For example, an AE1 Lite might run around 280 MH/s on Aleo.

Why it matters: Sudden dips or spikes in hashrate could point to overheating, hardware throttling, or pool connectivity issues. A stable hashrate means your miner is healthy.

How to interpret:

Compare real-time hashrate vs. average hashrate
Watch for consistent drops that align with network difficulty changes
Set alerts if your hashrate falls below 90% of expected levels

💸 Payout Logs: Track What You’ve Earned

What it is: Payout logs show your mining rewards over time. This includes the date, amount, and coin (Kaspa, Aleo, etc.).

Why it matters: It helps you verify your ROI, monitor consistency, and flag any missing or delayed payouts.

How to read it:

Check if payouts are daily or every X shares
Track if you're receiving correct amounts vs. network reward trends
Identify payout delays caused by wallet misconfigurations or pool issues

Bonus: Using Dashboard Insights for Smarter Decisions

Your hosting dashboard doesn’t just display metrics—it helps you plan your long-term mining strategy. Here’s how:

1. Scale at the right time

If uptime and hashrate remain consistent for weeks, it may be a good signal to invest in an additional machine or upgrade to a more powerful model.

2. Switch hosting regions

Not all hosting sites are equal. IceRiver EU offers multiple global hosting centers with competitive energy rates:

🇪🇹 Ethiopia: $0.0549/kWh
🇵🇾 Paraguay: $0.047/kWh
🇦🇪 Dubai: $0.0665/kWh
🇺🇸 USA (South Carolina): $0.065/kWh

Switching to a region with lower energy prices or higher uptime can increase your ROI substantially.

3. Upgrade when necessary

If your AE1 Lite struggles to maintain expected hashrate, it might be time to upgrade to the AE2 or a higher-end model. The dashboard helps you spot inefficiencies before they eat into profits.
