I'm struggling with myNode here. Got the model two, and thought it would be a breeze to set up. Apparently, it's not. Can’t join any public pools like Umbrel. The support just said they only back Datum, which I installed but mining's super slow... getting a share every 15 minutes. Not ideal.

Honestly, it seems like Datum isn't built for serious mining. You might be able to tweak some settings and force it to work better. But if that doesn’t cut it, SSH might be the way to go for installing public pools yourself instead of relying on plug-and-play.

Yeah, here's the deal. myNode has teamed up with Datum, so they might not really give a crap about other pools. Your setup can probably run them, but they won't help you get it done if it ain't their software.

It’s doable, but yeah, you’ll need to roll up your sleeves and use the command line. This whole beta situation with Datum is probably causing those issues you’re facing.

So true! They just say Datum is the only supported option. I was sold on the idea of running a solo mine when I bought this thing. It’s frustrating that they ignore other pools. I noticed the same thing. My miners connect to other pools and are way faster than when linked to Datum.
