⚠️ Security Alert: Active Impersonation Scams on Telegram We’ve received multiple reports of scammers actively impersonating OCEAN staff on various platforms, including Telegram, in an attempt to defraud users. While Telegram may be the most visible problem today, scammers exist on all platforms. Remain vigilant, and always question anything remotely suspicious. Always confirm critical info by multiple contact methods. [ ⚠️ Full Alert Below 👇 ] Telegram users have been reporting an increased number of impersonation attempts lately. Due to fundamental security weaknesses in Telegram's design specifically, these impersonators can appear indistinguishable from legitimate accounts, including using realistic names, handles, profile photos, and operating inside expected groups. Important: • OCEAN staff will not initiate meetings using Zoom • We will never ask you to install meeting software• We will never ask you to run commands (unless you've specifically asked for support) • We will never ask for Bitcoin or any form of payment Do not engage with anyone making these requests, even if they appear legitimate. For your safety, we strongly recommend contacting OCEAN only through more secure channels, such as Signal, IRC, or Discord. Our official channels are listed on the website.

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 @Léo. 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.

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.

🚀 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.
