FAQ & Tips

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this violate Twitch ToS?

Using automation tools for drop mining is a gray area. This tool mimics normal watch behavior without botting streams or faking engagement beyond what Twitch's own drop system requires. Use at your own discretion.

Why aren't my drops progressing?

  1. Game account not linked — go to twitch.tv/drops/campaigns and link the required game account
  2. Campaign not eligible — some campaigns require a linked game account or subscription
  3. No live channels — the game may have no live channels eligible for drops right now
  4. Drop already claimed — check the Inventory tab to see if you already have it

The miner shows "Waiting for drops..." constantly

  • All drops for your priority games may already be claimed
  • The campaigns may not be live right now (check Twitch campaigns page)
  • Add more games to the priority queue in Settings

Can I watch streams on the same account while mining?

Not recommended. Watching a stream on the same account can conflict with the miner's watch signals and may reset your drop progress timer.

The auto-followed channels idle watch shows 0 channels

This is normal if:

  • None of your followed channels are currently live
  • Or the followed channels don't support channel points

The miner logs this as "Idle (followed): 0 live followed channels" — it's not an error, just no one is online right now.

How do I rename my account in the bot footer?

Go to System → Accounts → click ✏️ next to your account → enter a name → save. This name appears in all Discord notifications and embeds.

The pairing code expired before I could use it

Generate a new one: Settings → Discord Bot → Generate Code. Each code is valid for 10 minutes.

Tips & Tricks

Reload vs Restart

  • Reload Campaigns (System tab) — refreshes the drop campaign list without restarting the miner process. Use this when new campaigns become available.
  • Restart Miner — fully restarts the Python process. Use this if something seems stuck.

Skip Game

Use Skip Game when a game has drops but you're not interested in them this session. The game isn't excluded permanently — it comes back after a miner restart.

Priority Queue Power Tips

  • Put games with time-limited or rare drops at the top
  • Games with "all access" drops (no sub required) are generally easier to get

Check for Drops Shortcut

The Check for Drops button in the Main tab manually triggers a campaign refresh — same as pressing F5 but without reloading the page.

Mobile Dashboard

The dashboard is mobile-optimized. All 7 tabs are accessible without horizontal scrolling. Bookmark the URL to your home screen for quick access.
