A Stratum V2 subprotocol allowing miners to propose their own transaction sets instead of accepting only pool-selected templates.

A Stratum V2 subprotocol allowing miners to propose their own transaction sets instead of accepting only pool-selected templates.

Job negotiation is best understood as part of a system rather than as an isolated definition. Its related coordinates show the mechanisms, incentives and historical records that give the term practical meaning.

Job negotiation sits between protocol rules, economic incentives and software operated by independent participants. In Bitcoin, no component is authoritative by itself: miners propose history, fully validating nodes enforce validity, and users decide which rules and software they accept.

Understanding Job negotiation helps distinguish a verifiable Bitcoin mechanism or historical record from slogans, products and market narratives.
