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.

🚀 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 https://tether.io/news/tether-to-deploy-hashrate-on-ocean-advancing-decentralized-bitcoin-mining-infrastructure/

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. https://video.nostr.build/1af1721d637741d4fdc7399ae2c95313ee34fb3fe1474d9a18198df43741e071.mp4
