Bitaxe Monitor
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
This skill appears limited to checking a configured Bitaxe miner over HTTP and saving its IP address locally, with no evidence of hidden exfiltration or destructive behavior.
This looks safe for its stated purpose. Before installing, confirm you trust the publisher enough for a small self-contained script, configure only your intended Bitaxe miner IP, and remember that --set-ip saves that IP locally for future use.
Findings (3)
Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
You have less provenance information about who maintains the skill, but the provided artifact set is small and self-contained.
The registry metadata does not provide upstream provenance, although the supplied artifacts include the full script and no external install step.
Source: unknown; Homepage: none
Review the included script before installing and prefer a known upstream source if one becomes available.
If an incorrect or untrusted IP is configured, the skill may contact the wrong network device.
The script performs an HTTP request to whichever IP or host is supplied by argument, config file, or BITAXE_IP, which is expected for a miner monitor but still grants local network access.
url = f"http://{ip}/api/system/info"Configure only the intended Bitaxe miner IP and check the saved config if results look unexpected.
A stale or edited config file could cause future checks to query a different device than intended.
The script stores and later reuses the miner IP from a local config file, creating persistent configuration state across runs.
config['bitaxe_ip'] = ip save_config(config)
Review or remove ~/.config/bitaxe-monitor/config.json if you change devices or no longer want the IP saved.
