Trouble with DATUM and Bitaxes

Services Support

I’ve been trying to setup DATUM for a few days now, even going as far as restarting my node, however, I cannot get DATUM to update the settings to Bitcoin Core. It states the following:

The following modifications have been made to Bitcoin Core to satisfy Datum Gateway:

My problem is that it never updates this in Bitcoin Core. Currently, I’m running Bitcoin Core v27.1.0 on a fully updated StartOS x86 system with DATUM’s initial release of v0.1.0.

Bitcoin Core… or Bitcoin Knots ?? If you’re trying this with Bitcoin Core, it won’t work, and you’ll have to refer to and re-read the DATUM instructions.

So I’ve downloaded Bitcoin Knots as well, but it isn’t showing up in services. Should I uninstall Bitcoin Core while keeping Knots installed? Would I have to resync?

Hi mab!

Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Knots share the same ID, so StartOS recognizes them as the same service. In the “Updates” tab, you would have seen an update for Core in the Start9 Registry and an update for Knots in the Community Registry. This issue will be resolved in StartOS 0.3.6, which is currently in testing.

For now, it’s simple to switch back to Knots. Follow these steps:

  1. Go to the System tab and click the “Manage” heading 5+ times to enable developer mode.
  2. Navigate to the Marketplace and find Bitcoin Knots in the Community Registry.
  3. Click Reinstall.

This should allow you to switch back to Bitcoin Knots, and then Datum should function properly.

Okay, excellent, @h0mer! That’s what the issue was for me. Originally, I was running Public Pool as a solo mining pool. It took some restarts and fiddling with my Bitaxes, but this is what I did:

  1. System → Clicked “Manage” text five times → Developer Mode Activated
  2. Reinstalled Bitcoin Knots to have it running instead of Bitcoin Core
  3. Turned off Public Pool
  4. SSH’d into my node to re-setup DATUM per the instructions
  5. Reboot my system
  6. Config Knots per DATUM dependencies
  7. Restart (and I had to Dev Mode reinstall) DATUM
  8. Point my miners to my LAN IP plus port
  9. Started mining
  10. Profit

Thanks for the help and I hope that my thorough explanation of my steps helps out anyone else that is running into the same issues I’m having. @StuPleb, thanks for your help as well!
