Everything you need to get started with Lucky Jade Mining Corp products
New to Bitcoin Mining?
Before installing your Twin Jade miner, make sure you understand the basics:
- You'll need a desktop computer with an available PCIe slot (the same kind used for graphics cards)
- A mining pool account (we'll show you how to connect)
- A Bitcoin wallet to receive your earnings
- About 30 minutes for installation and setup
Don't worry - our step-by-step guide below walks you through everything!
Understanding the Software
What is jaded?
jaded is the mining software (or "daemon") that runs in the background like antivirus software. It automatically detects your Twin Jade cards, connects to mining pools, and handles all the complex work of Bitcoin mining. Once started, it runs 24/7 without requiring your attention.
What is jade?
jade is the control tool (or "CLI") that lets you interact with jaded. Think of it like Task Manager on Windows—it shows what's happening and lets you make changes. Use simple commands like jade status to check your miner anytime.
How do they work together?
jaded does the heavy lifting (manages hardware, talks to pools, tracks statistics), while jade gives you a simple way to control and monitor it. You start jaded once when you set up your miner, then use jade commands whenever you want to check status or change settings.
HiveOS Integration
What is HiveOS?
HiveOS is a Linux-based operating system designed specifically for cryptocurrency mining farms. It provides centralized dashboard management, flight sheets for easy configuration, and remote monitoring capabilities.
Best for: Managing 5+ rigs, mixed hardware fleets (GPUs + ASICs), team operations
Why Use HiveOS with Lucky Jade?
- Centralized Management: Manage all your miners from one dashboard—perfect for farms with multiple rigs
- Flight Sheets: Quick pool changes with pre-configured templates—switch pools across all rigs instantly
- Mobile App: Monitor and control your mining operation from iOS or Android devices
- Mixed Fleet: Combine Twin Jade cards with GPUs and other ASICs in one unified dashboard
Installation Steps
- 1Install HiveOS
Follow standard HiveOS installation with Twin Jade cards installed in PCIe slots
- 2Install JX888 Drivers
sudo dpkg -i jx888-kmod_*.deb - 3Install jaded Mining Software
sudo dpkg -i jaded_*.debsudo systemctl enable jaded && sudo systemctl start jaded - 4Configure Flight Sheet in HiveOS Dashboard
Create a Custom Miner flight sheet with these settings:
Miner: Custom - jadedAlgorithm: SHA-256Pool: solo.ckpool.org:3333Wallet: bc1q... (your Bitcoin address)Password: xExtra Config: freq=525 voltage=1200 - 5Monitor via HiveOS Dashboard
Your Twin Jade miners will appear in the HiveOS dashboard with hashrate, temperature, and share statistics
Use HiveOS if you:
- ✓ Manage 5+ mining rigs
- ✓ Need team access and collaboration
- ✓ Use mixed hardware (GPUs + ASICs)
- ✓ Want centralized cloud management
- ✓ Prefer mobile app monitoring
Use jade standalone if you:
- ✓ Have 1-4 miners (small setup)
- ✓ Prefer local-only operation
- ✓ Want maximum privacy (no cloud)
- ✓ Don't need team features
- ✓ Avoid monthly fees
Quick Start Guide
Install Drivers
Download and install the JX888 drivers for your operating system.
Drivers are small programs that let your computer talk to the mining hardware - just like printer drivers let your computer print.
Install Hardware
Power off your system, install the Twin Jade card in a PCIe x1 (or larger) slot, and connect the 6-pin GPU power connector.
Not sure if you have a PCIe slot? It's the same type of slot used for graphics cards - usually located near the bottom of your motherboard. Check your computer manual or search "[your computer model] PCIe slot" online.
Important: Ensure the 6-pin power connector is properly seated. The card requires up to 50W of power.
Install Mining Software
Install the mining software (jaded) and control program (jade CLI).
Option A: Install Everything (Recommended)
The luckyjade meta-package installs all components: drivers, daemon, CLI, and web dashboard.
Option B: Install Individually
Configure Mining Pool
Configure your mining pool connection and wallet address.
Start Mining
Start the mining daemon and monitor your hash rate.
Use jade top for an interactive dashboard view.
