Today, we released a new version of SV2 Reference Implementation (SRI).

Starting today miners no longer need a custom BTC Core fork to build block templates with SV2. The bitcoin_core_sv2 crate is integrated into JDC and Pool, enabling direct communication with Bitcoin Core v30. This improves the UX and keeps SRI implementation-agnostic going forward.

With this release, we’re rolling out Docker support for SV2 Apps, making cross-platform deployments easier and shipping binaries for all major platforms. This is the first step toward a smoother UX. In the next release, we plan to ship UI for our miner-side apps: JDC and tProxy.

We’ve split the project into two repositories:

/stratum containing low-level protocol crates and /Sv2-Apps for end-user applications.

This makes the ecosystem easier to understand, contribute, and build on.

Want to test all the new improvements yourself?

Use our Web Deployment Wizard to spin up the full SV2 stack (Including your own pool) and share your feedback with the community.

Too much text. Just give us a step by step short explanation how our nerdaxes etc can be attached to it.

Running Core v30 already after i dumped all of Lukes censorship enabling software and pool.. including Datum so looking for a usable alternative.

Nice but activate the god damn pool for mainnet. Also it should explain changes to bitcoin.conf instead of cmd line flags. Also how to do connect core node on umbrel, start9, raspiblitz etc. And explain if core bitcoin node can run remotely from sv2 apps.

Censorship is forcing node runners to relay everything regardless of what their beliefs are.. knots allows you to speak your beliefs without being forced to conform to the corrupt Core developer's goal of turning BTC into a garbage can.

You got it backwards and are a victim om the knots propaganda.

But i’m talking more about this coins confiscating censorship BIP they seem to be endorsing and totally destroyed their credibility.

ThymeKeeper 1mo ago

Which coin confiscating BIP? The only BIP I'm aware of is the one that sets reasonable limits on fields designed to hold short text, not blob data.

So, one way or the other, you still have to run Core? Kind of defeats the point of building your own blocks if you're forced into building them Core's way.

Pavlenex 1mo ago

Quite the opposite, this makes us implementation agnostic even more it's just mining IPC that other implementations would have to port over so we can communicate with them out of the box.

szarka 1mo ago

So we don't have to use the bundled Core and can just configure any node via RPC?

szarka 1mo ago

If so, the page you linked needs an update:

Pavlenex 1mo ago

When there’s an implementation with an ipc interface we will, so far Core is the only one.

szarka 1mo ago

Ah.

What's the advantage of the IPC interface vs. good old RPC?

Is the SRI project good ng to host its own pool?

Se7enZ 1mo ago

going*

Pavlenex 1mo ago

Doesn’t make sense for us, it’s a commercial activity and we as a community are focused on building FOSS mining infrastructure. We can host demo pool with no payouts for testing but our mission would be defeated if we had to commercialize it.

Running Core to allow large op_returns is like writing a novel in the "delivery instructions" section of a pizza delivery order, and then saying "don't get mad, bro" when the kitchen receipt runs out of printer paper.

Are you a bot?

techjunkie 1mo ago

seems so

ThymeKeeper 1mo ago

No, I'm just annoyed by all the ignorant people who want BTC to turn into ETH
