Bitcoin Mining Pool Protocol Stratum V2 Is Making Progress

2022-3-19 04:30

If widely adopted, this mining pool protocol could help Bitcoin become more robust and decentralized.

The below is a direct excerpt of Marty's Bent Issue #1179: "Stratum V2 progress spotted in the wild." Sign up for the newsletter here.

Here's something very encouraging to see; a working demo of Stratum V2 in the wild. Even better, a working demo dropping on the same day as a thorough report on Stratum V2 from the mining team at Galaxy Digital.

For those of you freaks who are unaware of or have forgotten what Stratum V2 is and why it's important; it is a new mining pool protocol that, if widely adopted, would help to make the mining pool layer of bitcoin more robust and decentralized by allowing individual miners to construct their own blocks. On top of the decentralization benefits it will provide privacy and efficiency benefits for miners as well.

As Galaxy points out in their research report, the time for a mining pool protocol is way overdue. Especially when one considers the amount of hashrate that has come and will continue to be added to the network moving forward. The stakes are high and rising and the protection Stratum V2 provides against man-in-the-middle attacks is something that every miner needs as scrutiny of the bitcoin network increases.

It is incredible to see that there is material progress being made to bring Stratum V2 to market beyond what the team at Braiins has already done via their firmware. This is important work that cannot be overstated.

Speaking of Braiins, they wrote a quick summary of the Galaxy report here if you don't feel like reading the whole things.

Onward!

Bitcoin Mining Pool Stirs Controversy by Promoting Censoring BTC Transactions

Blockchain analyst firm, BlockSeer has launched a private mining pool, currently, in beta, that will censor certain Bitcoin transactions. Given that the Bitcoin community emphasizes censorship-resistance, an essential feature of cryptocurrency that makes it differentiating from the central bank digital currencies, it’s pretty obvious that the company would come under fire for its move.

To fight the talent shortage, train your current employees

How many people can program a driverless car? How many can program an artificial intelligence? How many can get their head around blockchain (and no, it doesn’t count if you invested €100 in Bitcoin)? And yet, how many times have you read about driverless cars being on the cusp of adoption, or traditional currencies being on the verge of becoming obsolete? The truth is, the pool of individuals who actually know how to build these technologies is very small.

PR: ExCraft Launches DAO, User-Governed Cryptocurrency Exchange

Hong Kong, 10 August 2018 – ExCraft, a cloud-native cryptocurrency exchange based in Hong Kong that implements a DAO governance ran by the users and pools, was launched today.

Notes on Blockchain Governance

In which I argue that “tightly coupled” on-chain voting is overrated, the status quo of “informal governance” as practiced by Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Zcash and similar systems is much less bad than commonly thought, that people who think that the purpose of blockchains is to completely expunge soft mushy human intuitions and feelings in favor of completely algorithmic governance (emphasis on “completely”) are absolutely crazy, and loosely coupled voting as done by Carbonvotes and similar systems is underrated, as well as describe what framework should be used when thinking about blockchain governance in the first place.

‘Miners Are Miners Again’: Bitcoin Core Dev Launches Alternative Mining Protocol

Bitcoin core developer Matt Corallo has launched a mining pool which aims to increase decentralization as Bitcoin mining becomes increasingly monopolized. Corallo: Miners ‘Have No Control’ Beginning June 25 but still with what Corallo describes as “vulnerabilities,” the pool uses BetterHash, a protocol which seeks to offer mining pool users the option to use their own block templates rather than those prescribed by pool owners.
