Re: [ANN] Stratum mining protocol

Few questions as I'm doing some heavy work with a custom stratum pool.

First off, is mining.set_extranonce being officially supported? If so, is cgminer going to be officially implementing this? I know bfgminer does currently support it.

cgminer doesn't support most things, just the minimum necessity for specific use cases.
Generally, you shouldn't need mining.set_extranonce, though.

I do, however, require support for set_extranonce. I'll do my own build of cgminer then. Just a pain to get users to use it rather than what they already have. Thanks for the reply.

Could just tell them to upgrade to BFGMiner...

Likely will, do you plan on supporting the new titans and vaultbreakers? Not sure how mining software goes about supporting new hardware. I will need support for very high mhs scrypt machines as soon as they ship.

That's mostly up to the manufacturers to provide documentation and sample units to work with (obviously if this is needed *at* shipping time, the docs at least would be needed *prior* to shipping).
cgminer certainly won't - it doesn't support scrypt at all (which the brands you mention are for).

Ah, yea forgot cgminer dropped scrypt support. Haven't done mining myself in a while. Doing some research on a large scale project I'm doing. I expect that they will provide you with enough information to give you support. Otherwise they lose business :p Haven't decided between stratum or gbt yet. Very large scale mining operation, have to be able to switch coins on the go. set extranonce lets me do this in stratum. Havent looked too much into gbt yet however.

GBT is pretty tightly related to Bitcoin specifically.
I don't know if any altcoins have put the effort into properly porting it.
