Title: How (and why) pools (and all miners) should use the Relay Network Post by: Matt Corallo on September 02, 2014, 08:52:00 AM UPDATE: The relay network has been updated to use Bitcoin FIBRE - you can find th enew instructions to peer with it at http://bitcoinfibre.org/public-network.html (http://bitcoinfibre.org/public-network.html).
Many of you have likely seen the recent discussions on the P2Pool thread and the post on the foundation blog (https://bitcoinfoundation.org/2014/08/a-bitcoin-backbone/) about the relay network. It exists as a way for pool operators (and all miners, though not hashers) to get their blocks relayed quickly across a separate network both as a backup to the P2P network and as a quicker way to get the latest blocks as it skips relaying transactions which have already been seen. Thus, if you're a miner anywhere from a small p2pool miner to a large pool, you should be running one of the relay network clients. You can see more information about its original goals and its original announcement here (http://sourceforge.net/p/bitcoin/mailman/message/32676543/) You can find the latest information at http://bitcoinrelaynetwork.org/ (http://bitcoinrelaynetwork.org/) Title: Re: How (and why) pools (and all miners) should use the Relay Network Post by: kano on November 06, 2018, 01:51:15 AM US-West/Seattle fibre node is down due to a provider reboot at Nov-6 01:00 UTC
