OCEAN doesn't broadcast the block... That's the point. The miner submits the block with the shares to OCEAN for pay splits. There are the same number of "hops" because there's no central node hub. A miner can connect to any number of nodes they wish. They propagate the block the same way transaction pools propagate. There isn't some cabal of special nodes that need to be connected to.

There is a cabal of special nodes. They are the mining nodes and as a miner, you want them to build on blocks you broadcast before anyone else's. How do you become well connected from your home node?

I can't tell if you are trolling. If a mining node is sent a valid block, do you really think they don't start mining with the new merkle hash just incase they could hit two blocks faster than every other miner? Is that really how you think it works? If you can broadcast a transaction to a miner to be included in a block, why as a miner do you think they would disregard a valid block, and by what mechanism? Is this a real theory you have?
