I have my bitcoin core synced up and datum gateway… when I try to point my miners to the stratum port they just fall back onto my secondary. I tried setting both to my start9 machine ip and still no go.. I am trying to get mining first then worry about setting up my own local wallet… I have a wallet somewhere else so that is what i am using now…what am i doing wrong?

I don’t think its advisable to setup a local wallet; best have it separate to your node i.e. cold wallet accessed via sparrow

Are your miners on exactly the same local subnet (e.g. 192.168.0.0/24 or whatever) as your start9 server? There’s an issue with current pre-0.4.0.2 versions that won’t allow traffic from other local routed subnets. Apparently fixed in the (hopefully!) imminent 0.4.0.2 version. My bitaxes on the same subnet work just fine

any relevant bitaxe logs from when the bitaxe boots up? you might want to mask out your BTC address if it’s in there before posting
