Today, 7 new mining companies joined the Stratum V2 working group. The Working Group is a technical coordination forum focused on advancing adoption through specification alignment, interoperability testing, and real-world implementation feedback. Many of the participating companies are already working on Stratum V2 integrations. Importantly, this is not mining activity coordination. It is coordination of the technical standard so miners, pools, manufacturers, and software developers can build on a common, open protocol.

Finally hopped on a pod after a while, with one and only @Stephan Livera to discuss Open Source funding, and why companies should look at it as a strategic move and not philanthropy.

Got tired of this narrative that funding open-source is philanthropy. There's that angle but it's dumb and likely harmful. More independent, economically rational sources of support, and more participants acting in their own self interest fixes it. Sorry for X link, dunno how to do Nostr articles

Why Companies Throw Money at Open Source??????

Rented hashrate a bit too hard to solo mine, now selling kidney

Running Stratum V2 UI! To try it out go to stratumprotocol.org click start mining (you can mine with your own node solo, no need for a pool)

Meet the SV2 UI - monitoring dashboard for your mining fleet. ⛏️Solo mine with your node, no pool 👷Solo mine through a pool 🧠Mine with Braiins 💻Mine with SRI Pool + your node 🛜SV1 firmware compatible

I’m looking for people to help test something cool we’ve been working on for StratumV2 I’m forming a small tester group, all you need to have is miner (can be a home miner like bitaxe). Let me know if you want to join!

Running Stratum V2

One of the hardest parts of FOSS is understanding users and communicating technical jargon clearly. In mining, that’s harder than usual: there’s a big knowledge, language and cultural gap. On top of that, miners are busy ensuring uptime and chasing cheap energy, not reading protocol jargon. We did our best to close that gap with the new StratumV2 website update. I hope it makes the case that software upgrades can meaningfully improve mining operations, and explains how on a single page. If we missed the mark, throw tomatoes and tell us what to improve! Website is available in 🇺🇸🇷🇺🇨🇳🇦🇪🇪🇸.

New StratumV2 deployment wizard lets you spin up a full mining stack locally, Pool included. Here I’m mining with 3 CPU miners constructing their own templates, connected to the SV2 apps in Docker sending shares to my Pavlenex Mega Inc Pool. Fun little setup if you’re a dev.
