now were talking!
Where do you get that specific recieving bitcoin address to point toward the miner?
Is it from electrum server ?
Please kindly elaborate on this
you get your address from whatever wallet you haveā¦ any correct address will work. if its TESTNET you should download sparrow and under ātoolsā restart in testnet 3,4,sig,
Hi
If Iām solo mining to my Bitcoin Core node on Umbrel through the PublicPool app, do I have to connect my wallet to Bitcoin Core (on the +CONNECT blue button) or just putting the wallet address in the minerās worker field is enough for the node to know where to send the block reward?
Just putting the address is enough.

ok, so running umbrel 1.3 with bitcoin core 27.9-28.01 (havenāt had an issue with any) download the blockchain or even a pruned copy 20gig ??? "ive found downloading (just the blockchain as one ātask"I have the fastest best resultsā) then AFTER ājust because of experiences downloading wit both appsā I download Public=Pool fro the App Store. and it works beautifully. it syncs up with bitcoin core and gives you YOUR NODES IP to point your miner atā¦ worker name : bitcoin address or bitcoin address.nothing or worker# x as the password. too easy. beautiful thing.
Hi all - new to umbrel and bitcoinā¦ I understand that itās practically useless to mine bitcoin using a CPU like that which runs my umbral node, but Iām curious to try just to learn the ins-and-outs of miningā¦ is there a way to use Public Pool and the same hardware on which umbrel/apps run to mine bitcoin or does it always require some external miner (asic)? Thanks in advance for any advice.
The Public pool is a tool to let external miners to mine using your node.
You cannot mine with the cpu of your Umbrel node.
Thanks for the reply!
Thank you for explaining that. Does this mean people can join my pool through my node?
only if you expose your pool to the internet
There is a way to do it. however not through the web interface.
If you are using a computer and installed Umbrel, you just aconnect your monitor, and keyboard.
On the OS side (which is Debian12) you log into root then add a user account and compile and load your software. I would use XMRIg since it is decently written to work in a multi task enviroment.
I would add this new user to the sudoers so you can execute sudo so you can download the files needed to compile.
Then you an compile and run XMrig. However, I would mine something like Litecoin or some other alt coin since the hash rate will be very low (like 1 Khash) unless the PC has GPU cards and you set up the video drivers to mine.
Anyone tried to make the umbrel.local:2028 public ?.. Like a āprivate public poolā
For example, so friends can add their miners from outside my local network.
Perhaps some type of port forwarding works ? Dunno
Thank you for the thorough and thoughtful response!
Because of I had heard reports of it reaching out to a botnet operator in Germany I wouldnāt recommend port forwarding this machine.
Are there any plans to update Public Pool to its latest version? It seems that some small bugs fixes were pushed to its original git repo some time ago. Additionally, an option of ckpool+ckstats would be great to have as well.
Umbrel is currently the most straight forward way to setup a self-hosted solo mining pool and a great entry point for anyone starting now, it would be nice to see these apps being still supported.
HelIo,
I am having trouble linking my Electrum wallet through Umbrel using Electrum X.
I First tried with Electrs app and this Umbrel Community chat had instructions mentioning an āOVERVIEW tabā in the Electrum wallet. My wallet has no such tab.
My node is loaded on Umbrel with BitcoinKnots and it is 100% synced with ElectrumX.
I am not a TECH person at all and am relying on forums to try and figure this out.
I have plenty of space on my Umbrel if i need something else, fast WIFI and have been using a SoloSatoshi BITAXE with an Xverse wallet set up to a public pool.
So at least I figured that out.
If someone can please help me get any wallet connected to Electrum X, I would greatly appreciate it.
