Miners, take a look at this first case study, your profits might increase while using @StratumV2. Provide your feedback, and join us in the mission of innovating the Bitcoin mining space. We are a FOSS project, and we cannot make it without your help and support ⛏

⛏️ Un bel segnale da parte delle più grandi mining pool! Il gruppo di lavoro @StratumV2 annuncia l'adesione di 7 aziende per lavorare all'adozione del protocollo che protegge Bitcoin da uno dei suoi grandi problemi: la centralizzazione del mining. 🎙️ Nell'ultimo episodio! 👇

@oomahq @LukeDashjr @MarkOfBitcoin @GrassFedBitcoin @wk057 This description is about our (SRI) current JDC (Job Declarator Client). As I told you in the other comment, in theory you can do JD even without using TD (Template Distribution) at all, if you want. In that case you'd lose the benefits of TD, but it's technically doable.

@oomahq @LukeDashjr @MarkOfBitcoin @GrassFedBitcoin @wk057 Basically if you want to use the IPC mining interface, you need to run Bitcoin Core v30+, because it has been introduced there. Otherwise you can have any TDP server which gives you templates (and the other TDP messages) over TCP.

This is good news, isn't it @GrassFedBitcoin , @LukeDashjr ?

@LukeDashjr @MarkOfBitcoin @GrassFedBitcoin @wk057 Our JDC (Job Declarator Client) supports both direct IPC connection with the node (that's why you need v30+ of Bitcoin Core) and TDP (Template Distribution Protocol) over TCP. To make it work with Knots, for example, you could both add IPC mining interface or TDP in Knots.

Sv2 is touted as essentially the same thing DATUM is: letting miners make their own blocks (minor nuance not relevant to this). Yet it's overcomplicated, and in practice only used or supported in ways that denies miners the ability to make their own blocks. Even if you found a pool that allowed "job declaration", Sv2 has changed the software so that it requires Core30+ malware that denies you any freedom over policy.

@oomahq @LukeDashjr @MarkOfBitcoin @GrassFedBitcoin @wk057 Of course it is, the Sv2 protocol specification has always been modular in order to allow for multiple combinations, based on the specific needs of a specific implementation. You can use JD protocol without having to use TD (Template Distribution) if you really want.

@LukeDashjr @MarkOfBitcoin @GrassFedBitcoin @wk057 So it's not possible to run Job Declaration software and GetBlockTemplate instead of Sv2 Template Distribution?

@pavlenex @isabelfoxenduke @Marafoundation @MARA Super excited to participate in the SV2 working group 💪

JUST IN: Stratum v2 support has landed in NerdQ firmware, adding support for the open source protocol to the NerdQaxe line of home miners

@pavlenex @dyegolara @StratumV2 @MattSoloSatoshi @skot9000 You can help testing with the Early Access firmware version. SV2 should be added soon to the firmware. github.com/bitaxeorg/ESP-…

🤓Stratum V2 firmware support has landed in NerdQ firmware, adding SV2 support to: NerdQaxe NerdQaxe+ NerdQaxe++ NerdOctAxe NerdAxeGamma Shout out to Wario_is_here, and Shufps for their work on making this possible.

💙 Siamo entusiasti di questa prima edizione della Bitcoin Design Challenge! Ecco i team e i progetti saliti sul podio: 🥇 Andrea Anchora Mirco Zancone con Mwobit — Wallet Bitcoin che sblocca le sue funzioni man mano che il nuovo utente impara la self custody. 🥈 @Un1c0_the_one, Mo Harchegani e @lsinxl con STAMP — Sistema per negozianti basato su carte fedeltà digitali che utilizzano la tecnologia Bitcoin per evitarne la contraffazione. 🥉 Nicolò Spada, Alessio Spada e Stefano Lapalermo con Taskly — App per annunci di piccoli lavori pagati in bitcoin. Ringraziamo @Breez_Tech, @zbdpay e @BitBoxSwiss per aver sponsorizzato l’evento e @PoliTOnews, @ied_europe, IAAD e Accademia Albertina per la collaborazione.

⛏️ Stratum V2: Antpool, Foundry, F2Pool e altri sette grandi attori del mining Bitcoin entrano nel Working Group Il Stratum V2 Working Group ha annunciato il 7 maggio 2025 l'ingresso di sette nuovi membri: Antpool, Block Inc, F2Pool, Foundry, Spiderpool, MARA Foundation e DMND. Il gruppo, fondato nel 2022 da Braiins e Spiral, sviluppa Stratum V2 come standard aperto e vendor-neutral per il mining Bitcoin. Il protocollo introduce miglioramenti su efficienza, sicurezza, crittografia end-to-end e — aspetto ritenuto centrale — consente ai singoli miner di costruire autonomamente i propri block template, riducendo la centralizzazione nella costruzione dei blocchi. Secondo Andy Zhou, CEO di Antpool: "Allinearsi attorno a uno standard aperto e interoperabile consente all'industria di collaborare in modo più efficace e di promuovere miglioramenti in termini di efficienza, sicurezza e decentralizzazione." atlas21.com/it/stratum-v2-…

Big update📣: ANTPOOL has officially joined the Stratum V2 Working Group. We’re excited to support the evolution of a more secure, efficient, and decentralized mining protocol for the industry.@StratumV2

Excited to see the strong industry momentum behind the formation of the Stratum V2 Working Group! SpiderPool is proud to stand alongside our ecosystem partners to advance a more secure, efficient, and open mining protocol standard.#Bitcoin #spiderpool

We're excited to be part of the @StratumV2 working group alongside @AntPoolofficial, @blocks, @f2pool, @FoundryServices, @SpiderPool_com, and @DMND_Sv2! 🤝⛏️ This working group will help accelerate the adoption of the Stratum V2 protocol (thanks to @Braiins, @spiralbtc, and core dev @TheBlueMatt) an open standard that brings efficiency gains, end-to-end encrypted security, and enhanced privacy to the ecosystem. Ultimately, this is a huge win for Bitcoin: it enables individual miners to construct their own block templates, taking a massive step forward in improving overall mining decentralization.
