Digital mining firm Gomining said it mined the first live Bitcoin block using the Stratum V2 protocol via the DMND mining pool.
Key Takeaways:
Gomining mined the first live Bitcoin block via DMND pool, letting miners pick transactions.Gomining bypassed centralized pool operators for over a decade of tradition by constructing its own template.Advocates expect this production milestone to drive global adoption of Stratum V2 across mining networks.“This block demonstrates that miners can now participate in pooled mining while retaining control over block construction,” said Mark Zalan, CEO of Gomining. “By creating our own block template and including GoBTC Pay transactions, we’re demonstrating one of the practical capabilities that Stratum V2 makes possible.”
“A miner just mined the first Stratum V2 block to power their own product end to end,” said Alejandro De La Torre, CEO and co-founder of DMND. “GoMining declared the template and included their GoBTC Pay payments with no pool in the way. We built DMND for exactly this.”
Industry advocates anticipate that the production milestone will catalyze wider adoption of Stratum V2 across the global mining infrastructure layout.
