₿🛠️ Satoshi's 21 #011: Mining Basics + Stratum V2 ⛏️

This time we'll be joined by Daniela Brozzoni for a session about Bitcoin mining. There'll be two parts: First we'll learn about or recap some mining basics, with the opportunity for some discussions. After a little break we'll take a more detailed look into the Stratum V2 protocol which is hoped to achieve better decentralization.

About Satoshi's 21:

This is our in-depth, no-nonsense seminar series Satoshi's 21, which will take place every 21st of a month in various different locations (hackspace, co-working space, conference room, or similar), or online if circumstances so require.

We'll have one or more selected topics concerning Bitcoin's technology, security, ongoing software development, business opportunities and challenges, economics, monetary theory, or its societal and political impact. Some preparation work might be required from participants in order to make the most out of the seminar.

Satoshi's 21 stands for:

• Every 21st of a month so that weekdays rotate
• 21 participants is the targeted and ideal working group size, but we could be more, we could be fewer
• And of course: honoring Bitcoin's monetary supply of 21 hundred trillion sats!
