It's not about BIP process, it's possibly about content of particular proposals. > The stratum mining mess seems to be a direct result There's no mess with stratum mining, except in your head. There's no requirement to have BIP for everything what people do. Stratum is NOT related to bitcoin protocol or bitcoin implementation, it is just custom, pooled-mining extension and bitcoin network doesn't need to know about Stratum existence at all. > and lack of any peer review/contribution toward the stratum protocol. There have been peer review of the protocol. You wanted to say "I was not invited to do peer review", right? Please don't start it AGAIN and stop bashing Stratum in your posts, at least in bitcoin-dev mailing list. I promised to write BIP draft for Stratum, I proposed and implemented get_transactions method to allow Stratum jobs inspection. What more do you want, seriously? I'm soo tired by you, Luke. slush P.S. I'm sorry that other developers had to read such posts. I'll try to sit on my hands next time.
