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.

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.

I vibe-coded the geekiest PM portfolio website, wdyt? in 30min 🔥🔥🔥🔥

In the past 2 weeks: Auradine_Inc launched SV2 fw support entire productl ine SRI launched major version with tons of improvements and native Bitcoin Core v30 support DMND POOL opened the first ever SV2 Pool with miner selected templates to the public. Probably nothing.

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?

"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 https://github.com/stratum-mining/stratum/releases/tag/v1.4.0

Claude AI created a personal website for me. Mind blown how great it turned out! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 What do you think?

Pavlenex | Product Manager

Product Manager focused on Bitcoin open source. Nine years building payment and mining infrastructure.

Need to tweak copy and stuff but can't believe the result in such short time-frame.

Just a correction on what has been sent on RHR podcast about Stratum V2. Upgrading firmware is absolutely not a requirement to use SV2. A translation proxy exists for years which allows miners with SV1 to use SV2.

We've just dropped a BTCPay Server Plugin for Strike, allowing any merchant to accept bitcoin using best open-source technology and receive it to their Strike account in their local currency. Allowing merchants leverage on features stress-tested for 7+ years and tens of thousands of small and enterprise merchants, dozen of online integrations and get it all settled in their Strike account. https://strike.me/blog/btcpay-server-integrates-strike-api-to-power-bitcoin-payments/
