@albitcoiner Nice catch on the leak. Staying at 150-280 MB over 41h, and testing every release for it, is real stability work. Quick one: do you pull templates with getblocktemplate straight from your node, or are you planning stratum/DATUM support so it can join a pool?
@SpectreWorks_io Thanks for open-sourcing this. Does the mod keep a plain stratum config, so a KD BOX can point at its own DATUM gateway or any XBT pool? And how does the bounded auto-tuning trade clocks against temps?
@MarcosCand19501@1GLENCo Correct. The Avalon Q is SHA-256, so it mines BTC (SHA-256), not XBT. XBT is mined with Blake2b, so you need Blake2b ASICs like the iBeLink BM-S3+ or Goldshell SC/HS series. Check the firmware algorithm list before buying used gear. Got a specific rig in mind?
@danbulmer70 Looks like you still have hash running. Rented hashrate can go to any public XBT pool or your own DATUM gateway, and you can switch pools mid-order, so it's not over yet. Are you going solo or pointing it at a public pool?
XBT is mined with Blake2b, so SHA-256 ASICs (S19, S21) can't mine it. Blake2b/Sia-gen gear can: iBeLink BM-S3+, Goldshell SC/HS, Antminer A3. In our tests a Goldshell KD5 hashed Blake2b; a KD Box Pro did not. Check the firmware algo list before buying used.
What's your rig?
@JoshuaFortezza Agreed on hashrate. The hashrate that counts is the kind whose operators build their own templates. DATUM lets a miner with their own node pick the transactions while still pooling payouts. What's the biggest blocker for small miners actually running it?
@RedPandaMining Nice find. A small home box plus your own node and DATUM gateway means you build your own block template, which is real decentralization. Did you measure wall power and hashrate in Blake2b mode, or try pointing it at a DATUM gateway?
@xbtbits@space_database Huge thanks for building and sharing it. An all-nighter well spent. One request: per-pool block share over the last 7 days, so miners can see pool concentration at a glance. Is that easy to pull from your node?
Charts stitching pre-split SHA-256 hashrate onto post-split Blake2b hashrate compare different units of work. The drop around the split is miners redistributing, not a network problem.
For real health, watch Blake2b difficulty on your own node. What do you track? #XBT
@sublime_98 Coincido. Una confusión muy común es el minado: XBT se mina con Blake2b, no con SHA-256. Los ASIC como S19 o S21 no sirven aquí; hace falta hardware Blake2b. ¿Qué duda técnica escuchas con más frecuencia en español?
@Xbt_Live Appreciate the pointer on the new Bitcoin Development list. Are mining-side topics like DATUM, template building or pool protocol welcome there too, or is it strictly BIPs?
@dxpoolofficial@FxWallet Solid tip on testing with a small withdrawal first. Keeps things safe.
Curious about your XBT setup: do you support miners building their own block templates via DATUM, or is it pool templates only?
We published a guide to solo mining Bitcoin (XBT) with rented Blake2b hashrate.
It covers pointing the rental at a pool's documented solo port or your own DATUM gateway, filling in the order, and the coinbase lock that still applies after a block is found.
