One line, any platform
Pasiv is non-custodial: the pool pays your own wallet directly, and Pasiv never holds funds or asks for your keys. Mining is one button, and nothing starts until you press it.
macOS Apple Silicon
Signed and notarized by Apple, with a signed auto-updater. Prefer a direct download? Grab the latest .dmg.
Linux desktop · x64
Download the .deb or .AppImage. On Linux the .deb is strongly preferred — the AppImage bundles libraries that can shadow your system's and break the app's networking.
Headless node servers · homelab
No desktop, no browser, no wallet on the box. Installs pasivd plus a hardened systemd unit that yields to real work (Nice=19), verifies its own checksum, and mines nothing until you claim it from the Pasiv app. Then:
sudo systemctl enable --now pasivd
What you should check before installing a miner
You should be suspicious of software like this — most of the category deserves it. So:
- Payouts are non-custodial: the pool pays the address you enter. Pasiv can't hold or move your funds.
- The 4% fee address is published and auditable on the pool — see the live network page. The fee accrues only while you're actually mining.
- macOS builds are signed and notarized by Apple; the headless installer verifies a SHA-256 before it installs anything.
- Nothing is sent anywhere unless you turn it on: cloud monitoring is opt-in and off by default.
