🚀 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 Follow along and subscribe: electricalgrade.substack.com ⚡️ #Bitcoin #DATUM

🛠️ 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 github.com/electricalgrade/b…

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
Bitcoin Knots 29.1.knots20250903 released! 🎉 Be sure to verify your download(s)! bitcoinknots.org/?29.1?twitt…

This is the beauty of datum You have your own node and gateway ..

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 .

Working with the debian team to make it as simple as "sudo apt install datum-gateway"

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

DATUM SV2 update. built a bridge so that my sv1 miner can connect to my sv2 implementation.. made some baby steps miner(sv1)->Bridge(sv1->sv2)->dummy SV2 Stratum session id: b10cf00c1 {"id": 2, "method": "mining.authorize", "params": ["", ""]} 👇

Now on bridge [sv1] -> ('0.0.0.0', 54730) {"id":null,"method":"mining.set_difficulty","params":[1024]} [sv1] (seed) dummy job_id=e1ad9163 ntime=68a549f7 [sv1] -> ('0.0.0.0', 54730) {"id":null,"method":"mining.notify","params":

Now that my basic setup is ready I can start focusing on the SV2 implementation and adding features.. Without testing its all shooting in dark.. hence wanted to flow flush this..

Finally on dummy sv2 server [sv2-dummy] client ('127.0.0.1', 52379) connected [sv2-dummy] <- ext=0x0000 msg=0x00 pay=17 bytes hex=0000001100000c646174756d2d62726964676500000000... [sv2-dummy] -> SetupConnection.Success used_version=2 flags=0 [sv2-dummy] <- ext=0x0001 msg=0x20 pa

Mining on OCEAN _without_ DATUM is, like CKPool, not solo mining. Mining on OCEAN _with_ DATUM is solo mining and good for Bitcoin. Sharing rewards w/ DATUM is also good for Bitcoin more than lottery solo mining: you enable other miners to solo mine also by reducing their variance, and make your own solo mining operation sustainable.

🧠 Just built a lightweight Heartbeat Dashboard for monitoring Datum Gateway ⛏️ Designed to auto-check active clients from journal logs and optionally restart the gateway. 🖥️ Web dashboard auto backoff warning when no miners connected. github.com/electricalgrade/d…
