<p>I am writing my own mining pool server for Bitcoin and would like to work with a detailed and complete specification document for the Stratum protocol.  There are documents on the web that casually outline the protocol (<a href="https://braiins.com/stratum-v1/docs" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://braiins.com/stratum-v1/docs</a> and <a href="https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Stratum_mining_protocol" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Stratum_mining_protocol</a>) but I am looking for something rigorous and complete and wasn't able to find it.  The reference documentation of BIP 41 and 40 doesn't exist (see <a href="https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/114168/where-is-bip-40-and-41/114169#114169">Where is BIP 40 and 41?</a>).

(Asked by: username_0 on 2022-06-21)

I am writing my own mining pool server for Bitcoin and would like to work with a detailed and complete specification document for the Stratum protocol. There are documents on the web that casually outline the protocol (<https://braiins.com/stratum-v1/docs> and <https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Stratum_mining_protocol>) but I am looking for something rigorous and complete and wasn't able to find it. The reference documentation of BIP 41 and 40 doesn't exist (see [Where is BIP 40 and 41?](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/114168/where-is-bip-40-and-41/114169#114169)). Something like this is good: <https://github.com/aeternity/protocol/blob/master/STRATUM.md>

The team at Braiins is working on [Stratum v2](https://braiins.com/stratum-v2) in collaboration with others. There have been a number of [changes](https://braiins.com/upgrade/compare-mining-protocols#compare) made since Stratum v1 was first specified.

There is a work in progress specification for Stratum v2 [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FadCWj-57dvhxsnFM_7X806qyvhR0u3i85607bGHxvg/edit).
