😱 BREAKING: @DEMAND POOL, THE FIRST EVER STRATUM V2 POOL WITH MINER-SELECTED TEMPLATES IS NOW OPEN FOR PUBLIC!

DMND Onboarding

Yesterday we launched a full stack @StratumV2 web deployer for developers who want to spin up Pool and miner side apps locally. https://stratumprotocol.org/developers Would love feedback from devs and anyone comfortable with CLI. Anything unclear? What sucks, what can be better?

Today, we released a new version of SV2 Reference Implementation (SRI). Starting today miners no longer need a custom BTC Core fork to build block templates with SV2. The bitcoin_core_sv2 crate is integrated into JDC and Pool, enabling direct communication with Bitcoin Core v30. This improves the UX and keeps SRI implementation-agnostic going forward. With this release, we’re rolling out Docker support for SV2 Apps, making cross-platform deployments easier and shipping binaries for all major platforms. This is the first step toward a smoother UX. In the next release, we plan to ship UI for our miner-side apps: JDC and tProxy. We’ve split the project into two repositories: /stratum containing low-level protocol crates and /Sv2-Apps for end-user applications. This makes the ecosystem easier to understand, contribute, and build on. Want to test all the new improvements yourself? Use our Web Deployment Wizard to spin up the full SV2 stack (Including your own pool) and share your feedback with the community. https://stratumprotocol.org/get-started (for miners) https://stratumprotocol.org/developers (for devs and full stack deployments)

📢 Auradine just launched Bitcoin miners with native Stratum V2 firmware support, built directly into their FluxOS™🔥

I urge FOSS maintainers and entities giving grants to do better due diligence when onboarding brand new devs and giving grants. People are faking GitHub activity, portfolios, and entire projects. It's still easy to spot if you take the time instead of just throwing money. FOSS is easier target than a company, because in a desperation to have contributors, barriers of entry are lower, but it has long-term consequences to the project, so be aware!

Why Stratum V2?

"In a world where verifying data gets harder every day, FOSS remains an essential tool for truth and freedom." New Stratum V2 SRI 1.4.0 release is out 🎉 Change log is too massive to fit into an image, check it out

We launched Skibidi.cash a $8000 bounty to bring builders together and design a Bitcoin wallet for the next generation. We talk about making Bitcoin easy for grandmas but what about kids raised on tap, swipe, and memes? Today, we’re announcing the winners.🥇🥈🥉

and it’s turning out to be much tougher than I expected there are just so many cool apps! I expect to announce the winners next week. 🚽🧠🐊

Thanks for the gift @Djuri!
