Mining without your own gateway? Set one up now, or you risk losing future rewards. The chain's developers have said that updates planned for mid-October may stop paying block rewards to miners who do not build their own blocks with their own node and DATUM gateway. That covers solo mining and pointing rigs at any pool's gateway, including ours. It is a rule of the chain, not a pool decision. Coins mined since block 973440 already wait about 45 days before they can be spent. DATUM in a box sets up your own gateway in minutes. Questions? Ask us on Telegram.
Guides
Step-by-step guides for mining the Bitcoin BLAKE2b chain on your own terms: your own DATUM gateway, your own node policy, your own wallet.
Your node, your policy
With your own gateway, your node decides what goes into your blocks. What the defaults are, and the one command that changes them safely.
How to set up your DATUM gateway
From an empty VPS to your first shares, with screenshots: DATUM in a box, then your own or rented hashrate pointed at it.
Set up a wallet
Hold and spend your coins with Shrike, a fork-aware wallet: download and verify it, create your wallet, connect it to a server.
