NHASH - Bitcoin Miner

/

    Tools Used

  • NHASH
  • Adobe XD
  • Vanilla HTML

Project Overview

During my Internship i was tasked with building something intuitive and helpful and the CEO asked for me to build some BitCoin Miners. He also requested a way that he could have a web app open on his monitor so we can see live feedback of what the miners are doing.
This is how I built a prototype for the App.

Discovery Phase


Quantitative Research

I interviewed the CEO on what he wanted the final product to look like and since this was a service only one person was going to use i only need input from one person.

✅ Positives

  • CEO left lots of creative freedom
  • Gave me a good understanding of features
  • CEO wanted to possibly turn it into a mobile tool

    • ❌ Negatives

  • Lots of information
  • Organization is sporadic 

    • Recommendations

  • Clearly display the 4 miners
  • Show Money made 
  • Show a key of what the data is that you are looking

    • Solution Phase

    Ideation


    After going through all the information and recommendations i have received i went along and made some rough sketches about how i think it should look and run:


    Sketches & Paper Prototypes

    Keeping it all on one single view page with no needs to scroll was key in what the CEO wanted so that it can sit on a TV/Monitor and require no intervention to have relevant and updated information.

    Wireframes & User Flows

    UserFlow

    Prototype

    I built a clickable prototype, with Figma and started testing out features and with some of the team. (Had to remove the information in the boxes)


    Iteration Phase

    Testing


  • Reduce how long it takes to update the information
  • Display everything in one page and still be readable​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    • Iterations

    Simplifying to allow consistent and smooth use process.


    Summary


    👎 Limitations


    There are limitations when it comes to building a single page app. Here I discuss why these solutions have its trade-offs:


  • User needs to have a smartphone or device laptop with an internet connection otherwise this solution will not solve their organization and task management will only save to device till connection is reestablished.
  • You have to pick and choose what information you want to include so that theres no information overload
  • Making it easy to read without getting too technical​​​​​​​

    • 👍 Value


  • Making a very simplistic way to view complex data to make it easy to read for non-technical eyes.
  • Also makes it easy to view information from the rig without being directly next to it.
