The achievement marks the first known use of Stratum V2's Job Declaration feature in Bitcoin mining, a protocol upgrade designed to redistribute control over transaction selection. Traditionally, mining pools determine which transactions are included in a block and construct the block template, concentrating influence over the network. Working together, the DMND mining pool and GoMining demonstrated that an individual miner—rather than the pool—could choose transactions and build its own block template. Supporters view this as a meaningful step toward decentralizing transaction control in Bitcoin mining, reducing the power that large pools hold over censorship and ordering decisions. Stratum V2 has been promoted as a successor to the original Stratum protocol, offering improvements in security, efficiency, and miner autonomy. The milestone, reported by Bitcoin Magazine, signals growing real-world adoption of the upgrade among mining participants seeking greater independence.
