Luke doesn’t decide for Ocean miners. Even if he plans for something like this (which I don’t think he actually is), no one is going to follow him. Can’t say I have the same level of confidence if Foundry or F2pool decided to fork bitcoin tho. Seeing how many Bitcoiners believe big miners are the ultimate authority on what goes or doesn’t go in Bitcoin, they might even go along with something similar in the future.

They can certainly just come back and mine on Bitcoin. But a split 110 with the hashrate it has now would rake ~3 years til its first difficulty adjustment.
A PoW change is pretty much the one option unless they're just going to abandon it.
