Block 913272 was found yesterday by a small miner: @Muninn revealed that it was him, using a QAxe++, a @Start9 and DATUM on OCEAN. Seeing miners of all sizes have their voices heard by mining their own blocks and seeing decentralization happen in real time is why we do this. Keep hashing, have a great weekend and congratulations, pleb miner. 🫡

Happy Labor Day. Many Americans have the day off today, but OCEAN keeps working hard finding 4 blocks so far. About 90% of our miners use DATUM. Let’s make it 100% 🚀 Reach out to mining@ocean.xyz and we’ll help show you how.

BTCHEL2025 starts today and @OCEAN is here! Stop by for talks from @Bitcoin Mechanic, @Luke Dashjr and a DATUM workshop with @npub1ywjj...6ejf. And don't forget to catch Lilly at the booth. See you in Finland! 🌊

We’re excited to announce 𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗠 𝗚𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘃𝟬.𝟰.𝟬𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗮 is now available! 🚀 𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗠 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻-𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗼 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲, 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀, 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴. It’s a crucial step toward solving mining centralization. Miners using DATUM have already found 𝟭𝟴𝟬+ 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀. This release adds one of the most requested features: 𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳-𝗼𝗳-𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀, making it easy to support revenue sharing, donations, and other multi-beneficiary setups.

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘃𝟬.𝟰.𝟬𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗮: Auto PoW Splitting allows mining operations with DATUM and multi-wallet setups (revenue sharing, treasury, operations, etc.) to seamlessly receive reward payouts direct from the blockchain to multiple wallet addresses. Set-it-and-forget-it payment splits straight from the Blockchain. High-availability proxy support makes DATUM even better at helping miners scale efficiently, maintain maximum uptime and improve monitoring/security. Docker and FreeBSD means DATUM is even faster to setup and configure, on whatever platforms you choose. Decentralizing the network just got easier. DATUM isn’t just a protocol, it’s running in production, finding blocks, reducing bandwidth requirements for remote mining operations, and decentralizing Bitcoin mining. Questions about DATUM or OCEAN? Don’t hesitate to reach out. 💪🌊🏄

🚀 DATUM Hits 100 Blocks 🌊 Miners all over the world are letting the industry know that decentralization matters. In less than a year, OCEAN’s DATUM Mining Protocol has spread like wildfire. 📈 Over 65% of OCEAN’s miners are using DATUM, and that number is growing every day. This means block template construction is making its way back into the hands of the miners, which is not only the most profitable for miners on OCEAN but also one of the best things for Bitcoin. Decentralization is happening. Bitcoin is becoming censorship resistant again. The future is starting to look bright again. To all of our miners who helped make this possible: Thank you. We’re humbled by your support and trust. To all of our future miners: what are you waiting for? DATUM is ready when you are. 💪

“Deploying hashrate to OCEAN aligns with both our mining investments and our broader mission to fortify Bitcoin against centralizing forces.” Paolo Ardoino

One of the most exciting things happening in Bitcoin is seeing plebs drive the decentralization movement forward. Skot and Bitaxe are playing a major role in this grassroots effort. OCEAN’s Mark Artymko connected with Skot at Mining Disrupt to dive into a key (and often overlooked) piece of decentralization: block template construction.

Thwarting 51% attacks and keeping Bitcoin's hard cap of 21 million rely on decentralization and the network remaining trustless. @Luke Dashjr breaks down the dangers of centralization and the truth about 51% attacks in his sit down with @NICO⚡️ at Mining Disrupt.
