I see A LOT of #Bitcoiners asking for help to build your own #Bitcoin templates using #DATUM from
@ocean_mining on @umbrel with your #Bitaxe
If you want to solo mine #Bitcoin & create your own templates, here is how to do it: 👇
First steps: Ensure your #Umbrel is set to a StaticIP. To do that:
STEP 1:
===========================
UmbrelOS menu
Settings - scroll down to the bottom
Advanced settings - click open
Terminal - click open
umbrelOS - click "Run custom commands in umbrelOS
sudo nmtui
enter your password
STEP 2
===========================
Edit a connection
Under Ethernet select: Wired connection 1 (if using a wired connection).
Tab to Edit
Change IPv4 to "Manual"
Address: change to your desired IP i.e. 192.168.1.21/24
Gateway: add your local network gateway IP
DNS servers: add your DNS servers
add an "X" in "Require IPv4 addressing for this connection
Tab to save & exit
STEP 3:
===========================
In settings select "Restart" & click on the button.
STEP 4:
===========================
Download & sync Bitcoin Knots 100% first (might take a day or two
STEP 5:
===========================
Download DATUM
DATUM will not start until Knots is synced 100%
STEP 6:
==============================
UmbrelOS menu
Settings - scroll down to the bottom
Advanced settings - click open
Terminal - click open
umbrelOS - click "Run custom commands in umbrelOS
STEP 7: Edit the .json
==============================
# From terminal do the following
cd ./umbrel/app-data/datum/data/settings/
nano datum_gateway_config.json
# add your bitcoin wallet in "pool_address" (do not remove the "" marks)
# modify your tags as desired - your name, pool, handle or anything you want
# under datum "pool_host" (do not remove the "" marks)
# under "pooled_mining_only": change this to false
save the file CTRL O (hit enter)
exit CTRL X (hit enter)
close the Terminal screen
STEP 8: Restart DATUM
==============================
At UmbrelOS menu, right click on the DATUM icon & choose Restart
Once DATUM has restarted, it will load the DATUM gateway.
STEP 9:
==============================
Then just point your ASIC to stratum+tcp://your_datum_node_ip:23334
Done! You're solo mining & building your own templates the way #SatoshiNakamoto envisioned.
