floppy doxxed himself. clck link, scroll down, verify yourself.

prayank was his public handle on github and the mailing list. this was before he was banned from the list for sending death threats to other devs.

I'm also banned.

This is not hard fork and there won't be any airdrop with this softfork.

Don't fall for influencers in this war. Majority of the influencers are either sold their soul to gay VCs & fiat mafias or they are just CORECUCKS.

Got a minimal DATUM “pool” talking to datum_gateway (interop demo)

TL;DR: datum_gateway being open source is enough to build your own pool. EGPOOL is a minimal proof — not production.

Datum_gateway is open source and the protocol is right there in the code. My take: if you can read the protocol, you can build your own pool.

Before arguing, I wanted to try it. So I hacked together a tiny Python prototype called EGPOOL. It speaks the DATUM protocol and can handshake, push CONFIG, and round-trip shares with the gateway — no Ocean pool code involved.

What I proved (all from the public datum gateway code):

• Framing: 4-byte XOR’d header + payload

• Handshake:

- proto=1 HELLO: sealed to pool LT X25519, signed by client LT Ed25519

- proto=2 RESP: sealed to client SESSION X25519, signed by pool LT Ed25519

• Channel (cmd=5):

- Box(serverSessSK, clientSessPK) w/ 24-byte nonce from nk + client session pk

- Nonces increment per message (LE 6×u32)

• CONFIG 0x99: signed by pool SESSION key, applied by gateway

• Share submit 0x27 ↔ response 0x8F: round-trip works

My test setup

EGPOOL pool server <-> DATUM GATEWAY -> Bitcoin node

I connected a bitaxe miner to DATUM Gateway.

I saw gateway handshake with pool server and accepting shares from miner.

Datum Gateway logs from my run:

Handshake response received.

quick disclaimer — this is a test rig, not a real pool

This is just an interop demo to show the protocol surface is enough.

A production pool still needs all the boring-but-critical stuff: reliable networking & reconnects, user/worker auth, proper vardiff and duplicate detection, real accept/reject plumbing, accounting backed by a DB, coinbaser v2 with real splits, the 0x50 validation path (stxids → by-id → full set), signature discipline (LT vs session), rate limiting/DoS guards, key management/rotation, metrics/alerts, etc
