Right. Which is why with DATUM, you run a full node and a miner. Your node broadcasts, your miner hashes. The only thing the pool does (i.e. OCEAN) is the reward splits for valid shares. The guy in the thread seems to think that the flow is your miner finds a block, it sends the block to OCEAN for some reason, then you broadcast from your node, then somehow, OCEAN invalidates the block because of splits? He clearly doesn't understand how it works.

I think it's more nuanced than that. It's the question of whether Ocean would broadcast a block submitted as a share. Assuming that Ocean is following the practice of having a well connected (with other miners) node.

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.
