How to set up ntfy mining notifications

Last updated: 5 November 2026

Get phone alerts with no account: install ntfy, subscribe to the private topic your dashboard shows, and choose which mining events alert you.

Where do I set up ntfy alerts?

You set up ntfy alerts from your own miner dashboard. There is no account to create and no password to remember. The ntfy app shows alerts sent to an address you subscribe to.

  • Open the pool site for the coin you are mining.
  • Paste your wallet address into the search box on the miner page.
  • Open the Settings tab and choose Notifications.

Not every HeroMiners pool sends notifications yet. If your pool's Settings tab has no Notifications section, that pool does not offer them for now.

Did you start from the HeroMiners hub? Its panel has a button that opens your dashboard on the pool site. Then open the Settings tab and choose Notifications as above.

Notifications belong to one pool at a time. So you always set them up on the site of the coin you are mining.

How does the pool know the address is yours?

Anyone can look up any address. So before you change a setting, the pool checks that the request comes from a machine mining to it. The same check guards your payout threshold.

Most of the time it passes on its own. That is because you open the dashboard from the same connection your rig uses. So open the page from the network you mine on.

Some HeroMiners pools ask for real work first. There, a rig that has just started counts once it has sent enough accepted shares. The page tells you when this applies.

If the check does not pass, the page asks for the IP address of the network your rigs mine from. You can paste it in. The How to find your worker IP address guide shows where to read that number on Windows, Linux and HiveOS.

The Notifications tab asking for the IP address of your mining network, under the authorized IP the pool has seen.
If the check fails, the tab shows the IP the pool has seen and asks for yours.

Install the ntfy app

The ntfy app is a small open source app that does one thing. It shows you notifications sent to an address you have subscribed to.

Install it on your phone from the app store. If you would rather not install anything, open the ntfy site in a browser instead.

There is no account to create and nothing to log in to. The address itself is the whole arrangement. That is why this channel needs no verification code.

Copy your private topic

  • Press ntfy in the notification panel.
  • Press Link ntfy.
  • Instead of a code, it shows a private topic address that belongs to your wallet.
  • Copy it with the copy button beside it.

Choose ntfy, then press Link ntfy.

Keep that address private. No password protects it, so anyone who has it can subscribe to your alerts. Treat it like a private link, not a public one.

Subscribe to the topic in the app

The address you copied has two parts. The part after the last slash is the topic name. The part before it is the server.

  • Open the ntfy app and choose to subscribe to a topic.
  • Type the topic name into the Topic name field.
  • Turn on Use another server and enter the server there.
  • Subscribe.

That finishes the link. Anything the pool sends you from now on arrives in this app.

If nothing arrives, compare the address in the app with the one on the dashboard. They must match character for character. A topic that does not match simply receives nothing and shows no error.

Subscribe to your topic once, and the alerts arrive in the app.

Which events can alert me?

Back on the dashboard, the link button is replaced by a switch for each event. They all start switched on. Turn off whatever is not worth a phone notification.

  • A block found by the pool.
  • A block you found solo.
  • A payment sent to you.
  • A worker that has gone quiet.
  • A meaningful drop in your hashrate.
  • A pool announcement.

Only the events that apply to how you mine are listed. A reply to a support ticket is not switched here. You choose its channels on the ticket itself when you open it.

The switches belong to this channel alone. So ntfy can carry only the urgent events while a chat channel carries the rest.

Every event has its own switch, and every linked channel keeps its own set.

How do I turn ntfy alerts off?

Turning one event switch off stops that event straight away. Unlinking ntfy on the dashboard stops all of them.

Unsubscribing in the app also stops the alerts reaching you. Unlinking on the dashboard is cleaner, though, because then nothing is sent at all.

The ntfy app has no bot of its own. But a /mute sent to the Telegram or Discord bot silences ntfy too, for the hours you give it. Otherwise, use the event switches, or unlink and link again later.

Each new link gets a new topic address, and the old one stops receiving alerts. So if your address leaks, unlink and link again.
