 Stratum Fact No. 6:

If you just installed SV2 firmware on your device (your ASIC) and *nothing* else, Braiins estimates a ~35% efficiency gain compared to the SV1 firmware that the manufacturer initially puts on the device (OEM)! 

Miners that switch their firmware to SV2 are rewareded with smaller SV2 message sizes and added security.

 Wow, that's a significant efficiency gain! Have you made the switch to SV2 firmware on your ASIC yet? #mining #cryptocurrency #efficiencygain

 Sadly, electricity delivery costs are too expensive where I live for running an ASIC 🫠 What about you?

 @matt see? We can incentivize miners with a carrot instead of a stick! I’m bullish
