 Q: What is stratum and how do I use it?
-A: Stratum is a protocol designed for pooled mining in such a way as to
-minimise the amount of network communications, yet scale to hardware of any
-speed. With versions of cgminer 2.8.0+, if a pool has stratum support, cgminer
+A: Stratum is a protocol designed to reduce resources for mining pools at the
+cost of keeping the miner in the dark and blindly transferring his mining
+authority to the pool. It is a return to the problems of the old centralized
+"getwork" protocol, but capable of scaling to hardware of any speed like the
+standard GBT protocol. If a pool uses stratum instead of GBT, BFGMiner
 will automatically detect it and switch to the support as advertised if it can.
 Stratum uses direct TCP connections to the pool and thus it will NOT currently
 work through a http proxy but will work via a socks proxy if you need to use
 one. If you input the stratum port directly into your configuration, or use the
-special prefix "stratum+tcp://" instead of "http://", cgminer will ONLY try to
-use stratum protocol mining. The advantages of stratum to the miner are no
-delays in getting more work for the miner, less rejects across block changes,
-and far less network communications for the same amount of mining hashrate.
