Stratum protocol discussion

[-ck]

Slush has posted an official page for the stratum protocol now, including new extensions.

http://stratumprotocol.org/stratum-extensions

Of note, the most important extension added is: mining.configure which supports “version-rolling”

The executive summary is that version-rolling means poolside support for asicboost. Asicboost is now under the defensive patent license meaning anyone can add it to their hardware provided they sign the DPL.

Unfortunately this site no longer contains the documentation for stratum.

You'll need to look here:
