Today I want to share how I built a complete cryptocurrency mining monitoring app in just one day, from initial concept to Google Play Store submission, using Cursor as my IDE.

## The App: Public Pool Android

[Public Pool Android](https://repo.codeskraps.com/codeskraps/PublicPoolAndroid) is a mobile application that lets cryptocurrency miners monitor their mining activities directly from their Android devices. The app provides real-time tracking of hash rates, worker status, and wallet details while on the go.

## Key Features

- **Dashboard:** View comprehensive mining statistics including best difficulty, network difficulty, network hash rate, and block height
- **Workers Monitoring:** Keep track of individual mining workers with details on hash rate, difficulty, and last seen time
- **Wallet Management:** Access wallet balance and transaction history with current price information
- **Real-time Updates:** Receive timely notifications about your mining operations

## From Concept to Store in One Day

The entire development process took just one workday (9 AM to 6 PM), during which I:

- Created the initial project structure and repository
- Built the network communication layer
- Implemented data models, repositories, and use cases
- Developed the UI components including dashboard, workers, and wallet screens
- Added theming, localization support, and settings
- Performed testing and submitted to Google Play Store for review

## Bitaxe and LottoMining

One of the most interesting features of the app is its support for Bitaxe miners using the LottoMining approach. LottoMining is essentially a solo mining strategy where:

- Miners work independently to find blocks rather than contributing to a pool
- Each miner receives the full block reward when they successfully mine a block
- The reward frequency is less consistent but potentially more profitable
- Perfect for Bitaxe devices which are optimized for efficient solo mining

The app provides specialized monitoring for Bitaxe solo miners, displaying:
- Current network difficulty and your hashrate
- Estimated time to find a block
- Block discovery notifications
- Complete mining statistics to optimize your setup

## The Power of Cursor

I couldn't have completed this project so quickly without [Cursor](https://cursor.sh/), an AI-powered IDE that supercharged my development workflow:

- AI-assisted code generation saved hours of boilerplate writing
- Intelligent refactoring suggestions helped maintain clean architecture
- Context-aware completion significantly reduced development time
- Built-in code review capabilities caught potential issues early
