Summary
SRI 1.0.0 has been released by the Stratum Reference Implementation team, enabling miners to connect to SV2 pools without upgrading existing SV1 firmware. The new version includes pool fallback functionality to ensure continuous mining activities and incentivize pools to prioritize miners’ interests. This release is the result of collaborative efforts and rigorous testing to enhance the Stratum V2 specification. Miners can now connect to an SV2 Pool directly or through a translation proxy, construct block templates, and declare them to the pool. The project welcomes contributions to further accelerate development and innovation in bitcoin mining technology.
Key Points
– Miners can connect to SV2 pools without upgrading existing SV1 firmware through Translation Proxy or directly using an SV2 firmware device like BraiinsOS.
– Miners have the flexibility to run their bitcoin nodes, construct templates, and declare them to the SV2 Pool.
– The implementation of pool fallback functionality ensures continuity in mining activities even if a pool decides to censor transactions, thereby incentivizing pools to prioritize miners’ interests.
