On a mission to radically decentralize #Bitcoin mining #FutureOfBitcoinMining #MineTheOcean
BREAKING: Bitcoin mining centralization.
OCEAN reaches 56% of unique miners receiving newly generated coins.
Our latest block paid out 50 unique Bitcoin addresses from the coinbase, meaning 50 people received bitcoins directly from Bitcoin itself, not from a middle man.
Over the past six months, 174 addresses have received bitcoin payouts direct from the blockchain.
97 of these were miners mining on OCEAN.
This is the way. Join the revolution. https://image.nostr.build/

You're only as lucky as your last block 
Sorry for the extremely slow response to DMs on here. Wasn't using the right client apparently, switched to Amethyst and seeing a lot of messages from Dec/Jan.
We're listening!
There's a better way!
Terahash for terahash, OCEAN is the best pool for miners.

Starting on Saturday, we'll be doing integration testing of the new @mempool Accelerator on the "OCEAN Recommended" template. Our efforts here will be consistent with our existing work towards maximum transparency and will help ensure decentralized mining has access to the same fee markets as centralized pools.
More info in the coming weeks.
Bitcoin Country, here we come! 🌴
We are thrilled to announce that OCEAN has expanded into El Salvador 🇸🇻. OCEAN MINING S.A. de C.V. will serve as our global hub of business development as we continue to bring features to market that push the envelope of decentralization in #Bitcoin mining.
Thank you Nayib Bukele, Bitcoin Office SV, and Stacy Herbert for creating the blueprint for Bitcoin adoption and for welcoming us into your country.

It's time for Lightning⚡️ and it's time for BOLT12🔩
As of today, OCEAN miners can attach a BOLT12 offer to their #Bitcoin address and get paid out over Lightning!
BOLT12 offers allow us to request multiple invoices for any amount while only requiring the miner to set things up once.
Miners simply sign a message containing the offer using the private key associated with their Bitcoin address.
Using BOLT12 also allows us to prove to the world that a payment was made, the size of the payment, the node to which it was paid, and that it was paid by us.
This means we can continue to offer fully transparent and verifiable pooled mining while no longer being restricted by the base layer!
Using the Bitcoin stack to its fullest is how we eliminate the need for trust and bring sovereignty to mining.

Lightning Payouts
Announcing our merch store! Happy to be collaborating with @ProofofInk
for these awesome designs!
⚡Bitcoin and Lightning accepted ⚡
Happy halving!
We've added a template to our existing lineup which only includes transactions free of any known arbitrary data.
We're proud to be the only pool offering miners these choices as we work towards our goal of full decentralization.
OCEAN - Block Template
In a FPPS pool miners don’t actually interact with #Bitcoin but rather they are treated like employees of the pool. @OCEAN takes a different approach by giving sovereignty back to the miners. #MineWithOCEAN
We're proud to announce our new template - it will consist only of transactions approved by the US government.
⛏️~~Stats~~⛏️
Since launching in November, OCEAN has mined 28 blocks consisting of 175 newly generated coins and 9.29785518 BTC in transaction fees - a total of 184.29785518 BTC.
Those mining with OCEAN since launch are sitting at around 112% of the rewards they could expect from the well known alternatives.
Prior to OCEAN, almost all block rewards went to the same dozen addresses under the control of just a handful.
OCEAN added 33 more addresses to this as miners started choosing to get paid directly by the Bitcoin network in OCEAN blocks.
OCEAN's overall luck is 101% and 106.5% since the start of the year.🎰
Happy mining everyone💪
