Here's a real block to celebrate: Brent & Allie (whoever they are) solo mined block 876020 with a mere 10 Ph/s, empowered by DATUM to share rewards with other miners using @OCEAN. Unlike fake "solo pools", Brent & Allie made this block themselves, using their own full node

La descentralización de la minería es posible gracias a OCEAN/DATUM. Al minar con otros pools, estás apoyando tácitamente la censura a través de la centralización en corporaciones controladas por el gobierno.

its a weird way to phrase it, but he is referring to using DATUM which means they constructed their own block template using their own node and also happened to submit their mining work to Ocean as they are a pool that accepts work via DATUM. i think thats what Luke means by solo mined ( i think)

he conveniently redefines solo mining while shilling his own stuff

Any solo pool that doesn’t allow you to construct your own template is a LARP and a fake. That’s like all of them, if I’m not mistaken.

Pretending to mine “solo” while depending on someone else to construct your blocks and validate them is the very definition of LARP, but I get that some people like to live in a fantasy, so it’s ok.

i get that but apart from you two nobody means that by solo mining even you in your reply used the same term for two distinct things

My point is just to state that solo mining via pool is not really solo mining. Mining via Ocean with Datum is much closer to solo mining by yourself instead of “solo” mining with a pool. I get that it’s mostly semantics in the end but people need to be aware of the gains and tradeoffs to make an educated decision.
