BitDevs Zambia: Solo Mining on Bitcoin Testnet + Running a Stratum V2 Proxy
Get ready to go beyond the basics! As the buzz around mining grows, we're dedicating this month's BitDevs Zambia meetup to the very heart of the Bitcoin network: mining. Whether you're a developer, a curious enthusiast, or someone intrigued by how Bitcoin works under the hood, this is a rare opportunity to get hands-on with the foundational technology.
This month, we'll cover two exciting and technical topics:
Solo Mining on Testnet: The Ultimate Test of a Bitcoiner Have you ever wondered what it's like to find a Bitcoin block all on your own?
We'll roll up our sleeves and attempt to solo mine on the testnet, exploring the thrill, luck, and technical challenges of being an individual miner. This is where you truly appreciate the sheer power and scale of the Bitcoin network.
Stratum V2 Proxy: A Glimpse into the Future of Mining Pools Mining pools are essential for making mining profitable for most participants. We'll explore how a Stratum V2 proxy works, giving miners more control and reducing the risk of censorship.
This meetup is a perfect primer for anyone looking to understand the future of Bitcoin's security model. Come and contribute to the conversation, get your hands on some code, and connect with the local community shaping the future of money.
