Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

First-install notes

  • Have a Honeygain account ready The API needs your Honeygain email and password to create an access token (a proof of login) that every other request needs, and without it the app cannot check devices or stats. source
  • Check your account is confirmed After logging in, check the account details to make sure your email is confirmed and the account is active; if either is missing, Honeygain may not work as expected. source
  • Enter credentials Enter your Honeygain email and password in the container's post-arguments to authenticate the agent. source

Common questions

What network side effects can Honeygain have on a home or lab connection?

Users report that running Honeygain can increase CAPTCHA prompts or cause IP flags. This is useful to consider when evaluating network-side effects in a homelab.

What income-crediting issue have users reported?

Users report that daily income credits and referrals did not add to their total credits. They say only lucky pot credits appeared.

Why might Honeygain stop crediting after a Windows upgrade?

A user reports that Honeygain may fail to credit if it refuses to connect to the device. In one case, the dashboard still showed Windows 8.1 after the system was using Windows 10.

Where can I find official Honeygain troubleshooting help?

You can search official guides or browse topics in the Honeygain support center.
