Gomining Mines First Live Bitcoin Block Using Stratum V2 on June 25

According to Bitcoin.com News, Gomining mined the first live Bitcoin block utilizing the Stratum V2 protocol on June 25, using the DMND bitcoin mining pool. The block was produced in a live production environment and included transactions processed through GoBTC Pay, an open-source instant payment protocol designed by Gomining.

The achievement demonstrates that miners can now control block construction while participating in pooled mining. By leveraging Stratum V2's job declaration functionality, Gomining locally constructed and declared its own block template rather than relying on pool operators to select transactions. "This block demonstrates that miners can now participate in pooled mining while retaining control over block construction," said Mark Zalan, CEO of Gomining.
