A Bitcoin mining script is a software program that automatically automates mining operations such as executing the SHA-256 algorithm, managing hash rates, and connecting to the mining pool. This simplifies the process of validating transactions and adding new blocks to the Bitcoin blockchain.

These scripts also provide features like real-time monitoring, multi-rig control, and automatic payouts. Advanced versions may include smart contract-based escrows for safe and transparent payment handling, making them ideal for cloud mining platforms and mining farms.
