Sure, but why do the pools centralize? Because no one wants to float the capital required to sustain an FPPS payout structure, which the vast majority of hashers demand. This is a problem of incentives not protocols. A potential solution to the problem: spin up an FPPS pool that sells Bitcoin bonds to raise capital to float the variance risk then pay your bonds out with a fraction of the puny margins that mining pools operate on. Until then Ocean et al are just LARPing. I support their ability to LARPing, but there should be no illusions that they’re attacking pool centralization.
