Interesting! 1. Can we get a side-by-side listing of trade-offs DATUM compared to StratumV2? I’d like to know more about what the differences are in more detail, and what led to the decision to really create something new instead of building off V2. 2. Are there any other specific aspects of mining centralization that DATUM still leaves unresolved? Where are there still decentralization risks theoretically assuming if this is largely adopted over the next 3-5yrs? Curious to know what Ocean thinks looking forward on this. 3. Are there plans for Ocean to push / advocate for knots? Or is that not the scope of the business plan? Knots could use some marketing / documentation help, maybe there’s an opportunity to do this with Ocean’s efforts. If knots has real advantages over core, this has not been well communicated. Convince more people why knots is better, why doe is advance the decentralization ethos over core, broaden the dev resources & interest in the project, etc…Ocean might be able to help. 4. What are the payout changes/fees etc.. that Ocean pool can set expectations for? Assume this will change as you’re still in bootstrap-mode, so it would be good to really be transparent to what those fee/changes may be in the future (if any). Don’t make people think this is a bait-switch tactic! Looking forward to seeing how this plays out in the market, exciting stuff! It’s great that Ocean is really taking this mining pool centralization seriously and taking steps to deliver real alternatives with real incentives. And thank you to Jack and others with the funding support to make this a reality. Great work by the team!

Can’t wait for the acronym name critique. I like this one pretty well.

Love to see it.

Keep up the amazing work!

I don't know much about mining but it looks like this could ( is ) be a huge breakthrough for miners

video won't load :(

That acronym will trigger a lot of ppl who use maps 😂

@Tatum Turn Up wen DatumTurnUp?

It means JACK LUKE JASON CONFIRMS ASIC HASHING is CENTRALIZED NOW With large pools now controlling more than 50% of Bitcoin’s hash rate- NOPE MORE THAN that 7% left to mine not big thing - "HASHING CONTROL" BY THE CARTEL OF HW-MAKERS+INDUSTIALMINERS+5-POOLS

#DATUM trying to ...

Mark my words: - @npub1qtvl...7dze will be one of the major #bitcoin mining pools very soon. There is only one player in the whole #bitcoin ecosystem who is truly fighting for decentralization. @npub1qtvl...7dze = #Bitcoin Decentralization 🫡🫡🫡

GO!! @npub1qtvl...7dze

Cool! Speaking about mining: IMHO today's press release by @npub1qtvl...7dze pool is promising to get more decentralization.

How the payout split works in practice?

When @Stephan Livera

Core actively denies miners control of their block creation, and tries to impose a centrally dictated policy. So Knots is de facto required for decentralized mining.

👀

Valid points. It's about time to act.
