Marathon Digital Holdings, the largest publicly traded Bitcoin miner, has launched Slipstream, a service that allows individuals to easily submit complex and non-standard transactions to the Bitcoin network. Marathon operates its own dedicated mining pool, Mara pool.
According to a press release sent to Bitcoin Magazine, non-standard Bitcoin transactions are typically excluded from member pools submitted to Bitcoin nodes, even though they comply with consensus parameters. These transactions, such as those related to sequence and script, have been possible, but Slipstream aims to facilitate this process through a user-friendly and formal direct submission process.
Fred Thiel, CEO of Marathon, stated: "While direct transaction submission services exist, most are rudimentary. Slipstream provides a simple, transparent, and trustworthy way for seasoned users to add complex Bitcoin transactions to the blockchain, provided they adhere to Bitcoin's protocol."
Thiel also emphasized the importance of the company's support for Bitcoin innovation and experimentation: "We believe Slipstream is mutually beneficial for the industry and our organization, and we look forward to further assisting those developing on Bitcoin based on this announcement." |
