Package check before running Toolbox
Before opening the Windows archive on a workstation that can reach miner subnets, make these checks.
Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 .\braiins-toolbox.zip
This hash identifies this site's preserved archive only. It is not the publisher checksum for the current official Toolbox 26.06 Windows asset.
- Download the package for the operating system that will manage the miners.
- Confirm the version matches the release you plan to use.
- Keep working copies and extracted credentials out of public deploy folders and shared directories.
- Run the first scan as a read-only discovery step before applying pool, reboot, or firmware actions.
Source and workstation checks
- Use the official Braiins release page for the latest package and publisher checksum.
- Avoid mirrors, reuploads, renamed archives, and chat-file drops.
- Use a workstation with a clear operations role, not a random personal browser session.
- Keep miner credentials and API keys outside public folders.
Team workflow
For fleet work, record the package version, download date, operator, workstation OS, target miner list, and rollout notes.
