Recently, renting hashrate from Braiins Hashpower using your own local BIP110 node + DATUM setup has been getting pretty popular. If you’re a bit lost on where to start, here’s a simple walkthrough.

Step 1: Get the basics running

Before you even think about external hashrate, make sure your local setup is solid:

  1. Install Bitcoin Knots + BIP110
  2. Install DATUM Gateway
  3. Wait for your node to fully sync

Step 2: Check local mining first

Don’t expose anything yet.

  • Connect to your DATUM Stratum port locally
  • If you’ve got a Bitaxe or similar ASIC, point it at your node

Make sure local mining works perfectly before moving on.

Step 3: Expose your Stratum port

To use Braiins Hashpower, your node needs to be reachable from the outside.

Problem is, most ISPs make this annoying (CGNAT, blocked ports, etc.).

The easiest fix is Localtonet.

  • It gives you a random localtonet.com subdomain
  • You can optionally map your own domain to it using a CNAME

Cloudflare note: If you’re using Cloudflare DNS, turn OFF proxy mode on that record. Stratum isn’t HTTP, and Localtonet already handles the tunneling.

Step 4: Test the public endpoint

Before you spend anything on hashrate:

  • Point your miner (Bitaxe, etc.) to your public address instead of 192.x.x.x:23334
  • Confirm it connects and mines through the tunnel

Step 5: Connect Braiins Hashpower

Once that works, you’re ready.

Go to Braiins Hashpower and set your mining endpoint to your exposed Stratum URL.

Example: stratum+tcp://mine.nomadshiba.me:23334

Step 6: Set up Lightning payouts via Ocean

If you want faster payouts instead of waiting for the Ocean's payouts threshold, you can use Ocean’s Lightning payout option:

This will require a BOLT12-compatible Lightning address.

Easiest option: Coinos web app (quick setup)

Or, if you want the full sovereign route, run your own Lightning node and route payouts there.
