During mining? That compute would be just as much as mining itself. I was under the impression that the merkle root was only validated if the POW was under the diff threshold. I mean trillions of hash...
Sure, only if over the difficulty threshold. But that's what pools count anyway, and would be impractical to fake it. The same principle of mining itself.
But they have to be verified! The novelty here is that until now pools just cared about the coinbase transaction, now they might have to care about all! And I still don't know the answer to my original question of what will OCEAN do about that.
