Stratum
The protocol miners use to talk to a pool.
Stratum is the protocol a miner uses to connect to a pool: the pool hands out work and the miner submits shares back over it. It is the standard language of pool mining.
You connect your Pearl miner to the pool over stratum on port 1200, in either plain (stratum+tcp) or encrypted (stratum+ssl) form.
