Install

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

brew install --cask hash-rate/pasiv/pasiv

Signed and notarized by Apple, with a signed auto-updater. Prefer a direct download? Grab the latest .dmg.

Windows x64

scoop bucket add pasiv https://github.com/hash-rate/scoop-pasiv
scoop install pasiv

Or download the signed installer directly. (Pasiv is not in winget yet.)

Linux desktop · x64

sudo apt install ./Pasiv_*_amd64.deb

Download the .deb or .AppImage. Use the .deb — it's the recommended build and uses your system's libraries cleanly. The tradeoff is that a root-owned package can't replace itself, so you update it by hand (the app tells you when there's a new version). The .AppImage self-updates, but it bundles its own libraries that can shadow your system's and break the app's networking — which stops sign-in, even on a plain connection (we've seen it on real hardware). Only pick the AppImage if you specifically need hands-off self-updating and have confirmed sign-in works on your machine; otherwise use the .deb.

Headless node servers · homelab

curl -fsSL https://pasiv.network/pasivd.sh | sh

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 pasivd claim
sudo systemctl enable --now pasivd

Phone companion iOS · Android

Monitor and control every rig from your phone: live hashrate and earnings, start/stop, one-tap updates, and approving headless nodes. Signs in with the same wallet as the desktop app — non-custodial, never your keys.

iPhone — TestFlight beta. Free, no invite needed; the App Store listing is in review.

Install TestFlight from the App Store.
On the phone, open testflight.apple.com/join/CxAf4K5h — or scan the code.
Tap Install. Sign in with the same wallet as your desktop, or tap See a demo.

macOS via Homebrew: brew tap hash-rate/pasiv && brew install --cask pasiv

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 home page. It accrues only while you're actually mining Monero; every other coin carries no Pasiv fee.
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.

Coming from the command line? Pasiv as an XMRig GUI. Running servers? Mine on a homelab.
