Also noticed this... I never digged too much into BTC pools, but recently i was trying to connect an old S9 to MC, i noticed that when using Braiins firmware it connects and get disconnected after a few seconds... (endless loop), then i rollback to bitmain firmware and works fine. I suppose BTC has not been updated recently, but actually... do you think there is any chance for a new pool to run a BTC with the current difficulty?

its not only btc who use asic boost its multiple upand comming coins like mvc (space) who use sha256 and wuld benefit from asic boost.

it happens with all coins when connected with asicboost.
Ive tried tweaking a few things with no lucky.
hopefully there will be a fix soon to stop random disconnects.

any luck guys?

@totom9000 I think the solution is not to send people to mine on your pool, this is an open source community, if you have a solution (and you would like to share) then you're welcome.

@mamafunny seems like Oliver has not take a look yet on this issue, I'm sure he will at some point, in the meantime, i found a working NOMP with asicboost support, i know it's not miningcore, and NOMP API is very old and limited but i have it working for a private pool anyway so it works for me. if it's your case, here is the link for the repo:
https://github.com/meterio/nomp

just adapt it for your coin needs

Sadly Oliver won't be able to have a look on the matter since he officially announced his retirement from future miningcore development: #1687
