confirmed.. “Michelle” is who found this EASY way to mine testnet 3 OR 4 with what your umbrel has on board. this is GREAT she found that this DOES IN FACT WORK. ive mined a few blocks using it and you can name the coinbase tag whatever you want.
what I had to do from the login screen on the umbrel itself. I believe I did it with SSH and Thru my Mac but this was easier"kinda" if you need yo ssh into your umbrel its ssh umbrel@yournNodeIp mine was " ssh umbrel@192.168.1.200. yes or no type in YES then needs password you setup originally. .. this might be necessary I forgot.
I also had to start with “sudo nano” actually get to the file and change it once your there.. SO… sudo nano /home/umbrel/umbrel/app-data/public-pool/docker-compose.yml using arrows". edit NETWORK=testnet instead of main net. / also. “public pool by umbrel” you can change also… “yourumbrelpool”. control X restart your node and if you chose testnet 4 its “way faster” to see if this works 6 gig chain" and I will continue to mess around I am downloading KNOTS now and only for its testnet 3. then STOP running core “I used for it testnet 4” ““DONT give public pool an option to choose a chain”” provide it.. core for T4 and KNOTS for 3 then open the app. and I just found this. and am going to change these setting also BUT it DID work by just changing those 2 "I will be back with results..

so you are mining with your node?
yes this is how you get to the config file and just edit network to “testnet” that is really ALL that has to be done “AND “control x to exit the “editing” Y for yes save the change , ENTER …
**and what ive done is “restart” it from the web, “might not matter but it worked”
AND DONT CHANGE THE proxy_auth_whitelist” im messing with it RN and that pic it was changed from default” leave it default… you might have to actually power off/ on your miner when switching networks im pretty sure… have fun I am still trying to get the testnet config above to work still… if anyone knows/tried to mess with this config? its from PP GitHub ?
Cheers, always been interested if my set up is actually working so left my Bitaxe mining testnet4 for a day and hit a block. All went smoothly.

yes you can download everything you “need” on a 16GB sd card.. "umbrel, bitcoin core with ONLY “testnet4 “chain it is only 6gb” (when you start the IBD “advanced settings in umbrel bitcoin core. (change it to T4 before it starts downloading mainchain”) it has no other chain to “deal with… and dosent fill the SD card..””
