Ok, next #Datum question: how in the world do you create a custom block template? My coinbaser page just shows my mining address #asknostr

I believe datum pulls transactions directly from your mempool. Your mempool is your template.

Thank you nostr:nprofile1qqsqvfcgxslup024gjkf0p402upfgczxcavqn22d2fkw84k86ds4lwcprfmhxue69uhhqun0ve5kcetn9ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5hs0wwsp7. So do I configure it somehow with the mempool app? I was under the impression that the block templates were customizable. But I'm not seeing any option to do so in the datum app or the mempool app.

I made a few assumptions in my response. If you are running knots and datum, your mempool settings are in knots

I am running Knots and Datum in Umbrel. Is there something specific I should be looking for in settings? I see max mempool size, persist mempool and mempool expiry but nothing specific about the block template

There are no templates, that's more of a pool thing. However you config your knots mempool determines what you mine. There are some good videos on YouTube on how to configure your mempool and what the various options do.

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Good looking out

Question now is, if the block templates are handled by knots is there an advantage to using datum over public pool? I like that I can see more detailed share info on datum but public pool gives me best difficulty measurements. I've noticed public pool has had server outages several times. Not sure if datum is fully hosted on my node or relies on third party servers as well?

Datum runs on your node and broadcasts directly to the Bitcoin network. Idk much about public pool tbh

That in and of itself makes it worth running over public pool imo

I wasn't sure how well that would translate to an umbrella node, but that's the exact video I was thinking of.

As she was discussing the settings, I was able to find them in Umbrel through the search function. Bad ass video
