Indeed, other miners will want to connect to your miner too. \\ | + | Note: Validator operators can choose whichever port they want (mainly used are 8081 to 8089). If a Hotspot can not connect to a Validator, the Hotspot will drop that Validator and automatically try to connect to a different one.** \\ |
