🚀 Hi X Bitcoin community ! , sharing my DIY Bitcoin home‑mining journey using Bitaxe and DATUM on the OCEAN pool. I cover setup tips, pool insights, hashrate benchmarks, and my solo‑mining path

#Bitcoin#DATUM
@GrassFedBitcoin@adam3us My take is that node shud runners get the freedom to choose
Bigger problem is mining decentralization
Mining pools could easily use datum_gateway but will not as it hits their pvt mempool & control over miners (hashers)
Noise protocol is used in stratum v2 for connection handshake and further communication
First prototyped this in python.
Datum gateway is C
So started with noise-c.
Got the basic handshake with NX working between server and client
I will post more details on Nostr
@_DavidSFreeman It’s mining interface for stratum v2 template providers not full implementation of sv2
DATUM does not need this interface as it does not need template providers
@wk057 He just proved 2 things
1)without mempool policy it’s a disaster(libre)
2)without decentralized mining even mempool policy falls short (f2pool)
My ML detected this as malware as soon as block was mined
Today AV don’t look at db but if this continuous cloud AV will scan btc db

@stolsvik@adam3us@mkuegi@SledgeTheTV@peterktodd@GrassFedBitcoin@BitcoinKnobs@r0ckstardev No. Pruning is only for uTXO set so that your RAM usage is lower but OP-RETURN can never be pruned from a block on disk
You can prune blocks (pruned node) but not just op return
So if opreturn is spam you will store it in disk
It’s needed for initial block validation
@LukeDashjr Yes full node is a must
I have also built a small utility. It subscribes to zmq and publishes on zenoh. Subscribers can get these even if they have flaky connection
🛠️ Spin up Bitcoin Knots + DATUM Gateway in Docker Compose.
No more juggling configs — just docker-compose up and you're live with a proper Bitcoin node + Datum Gateway.
Built this for myself, but figured someone else might want it.
Run infra, not drama

My Bitcoin knots node is updated , datum pointing to new node and small miners are back into business
I don’t download exe, I build from sources
I also have docker support and can launch knots and datum using
docker compose
@skot9000 Akshually... when the workers are behind DATUM, I actually don't have that information. They're solo mining the block on their own. The UA doesn't need reporting to the pool.
I this case the miner came forward and said it was a QAxe++.
@adam3us @bigshiny90 Sv2 today adds a bunch of complexity in pool side & need translator if miner does not update FW
I like datum architecture. Its simple for both pool & miner
sv2 mining protocol can be supported in datum
But any move away from sv1 is a win
