9am Central Time - we'll be making our biggest announcement yet!

Sorry for the delayed posting. At 9am: Due to the hurricane, our main servers and several redundancies were adversely affected by the storms. This is causing a widespread, but expectedly short-lived outage on OCEAN. While this is our first outage on the pool of any kind, outages, however small or short, are unacceptable. Without revealing the details of our security profile, the chances of this happening were astronomically low, but non-zero. Even that is too high, so we will work to ensure that this doesn’t happen again. Please ensure your own backups and redundancies are in place accordingly. We’ll have further updates when we have more information.

BREAKING: Bitcoin mining centralization. OCEAN reaches 56% of unique miners receiving newly generated coins. Our latest block paid out 50 unique Bitcoin addresses from the coinbase, meaning 50 people received bitcoins directly from Bitcoin itself, not from a middle man. Over the past six months, 174 addresses have received bitcoin payouts direct from the blockchain. 97 of these were miners mining on OCEAN. This is the way. Join the revolution. https://image.nostr.build/ d92872452c388990787660e1ff890c9e30df6e615506d020fd83df189819e93e.png

You're only as lucky as your last block

Sorry for the extremely slow response to DMs on here. Wasn't using the right client apparently, switched to Amethyst and seeing a lot of messages from Dec/Jan. We're listening!

There's a better way!

Terahash for terahash, OCEAN is the best pool for miners. See Bob Burnett's numbers for yourself here:
