First Stratum V2 Block Mined as GoMining Builds Its Own Bitcoin Block Template

DMND mining pool and GoMining mined block 955,318 using Stratum V2's Job Declaration feature, letting the miner -- not the pool -- choose which transactions go into the block for the first time in a live production environment.

• Block 955,318 is the first known Bitcoin block mined using Stratum V2's Job Declaration in production
• GoMining selected its own transactions and built its own block template, bypassing pool control
• The miner included transactions from GoBTC Pay, a non-custodial Bitcoin instant payments protocol
• Stratum V2 shifts transaction selection power from mining pools to individual miners, improving censorship resistance
• DMND describes itself as a pool built for the Stratum V2 era, with Job Declaration now running in production
