Hi. Can I create a Bitcoin Node and a BCH Node in the same Umbrel box?
If my miner registered to my BCH Node in Umbrel, hit a BCH block, will it automatically deposit it to my BCH wallet configured in the BCH Node?
Sure, you can install and run whatever you want and have the Horsepower to run at the same time.
You just need to make sure that there are Port Conflicts or it will cause the app to, Fail to Install and/or Fail to start because the Port is already in use.
My Umbrel has a lot installed …
It is trying to complete a Blockchain sync for Bitcoin SV (BSV) right now. That Blockchain is a Beast and requires a TON of IO and RAM. So, much so, that I had to write my own Monitor to monitor the overheating of my Mini PC:
Only about 8+ hours to go … The Blockchain blocksize are much bigger as I get closer in time.

Wow, your node is busy. 
The BCH node(running ckpool) I have says point the miner to port 4567 so there is no port conflict with Bitcoin node. Now, when I was configuring ckpool and pasted my BCH CASHADDR wallet, it says it requires BASE 58 type of address format and it automatically converted my BCH wallet starting with p to Base58 starting with 3HY. My question now is in those Bitcoin repositories like Coinbase, does it know that the payout needs to go to the wallet starting in letter p ?
Rob, during this time about, 42 mins ago. My BCH Node is syncing and I noticed that 2x now, my Bitcoin node stopped running unexpectedly. Before 42 mins ago, my BTC node has fully synced and has a public pool… About 42 mins ago, I installed this BCH node and Ckpool. Around 30% of BCH node sync, Bitcoin node crashed. Before that at around 20% it crashed too. Attached is the log

Oh crap, I found out whats the problem with Bitcoin Node crashing. Lack of Disk space. Its a 1 TB SSD. It was only running Bitcoin Node and BCH Node. Now, my question is I have 2 options which is buy a bigger SSD and start all over again like install Umbre/Bitcoin Node/ BCH Node etc (or is there a better way?) OR, it has a second slot for SSD, if I add another SSD how do I make Umbrel recognize or use the second disk for additional storage? THANKS
