Terahash for terahash, OCEAN is the best pool for miners.

It's time for Lightning⚡️ and it's time for BOLT12🔩


As of today, OCEAN miners can attach a BOLT12 offer to their #Bitcoin address and get paid out over Lightning!

BOLT12 offers allow us to request multiple invoices for any amount while only requiring the miner to set things up once.

Miners simply sign a message containing the offer using the private key associated with their Bitcoin address.

Using BOLT12 also allows us to prove to the world that a payment was made, the size of the payment, the node to which it was paid, and that it was paid by us.

This means we can continue to offer fully transparent and verifiable pooled mining while no longer being restricted by the base layer!

Using the Bitcoin stack to its fullest is how we eliminate the need for trust and bring sovereignty to mining.

Happy halving!

We've added a template to our existing lineup which only includes transactions free of any known arbitrary data.

We're proud to be the only pool offering miners these choices as we work towards our goal of full decentralization.

⛏️~~Stats~~⛏️

Since launching in November, OCEAN has mined 28 blocks consisting of 175 newly generated coins and 9.29785518 BTC in transaction fees - a total of 184.29785518 BTC.

Those mining with OCEAN since launch are sitting at around 112% of the rewards they could expect from the well known alternatives.

Prior to OCEAN, almost all block rewards went to the same dozen addresses under the control of just a handful.

OCEAN added 33 more addresses to this as miners started choosing to get paid directly by the Bitcoin network in OCEAN blocks.

OCEAN's overall luck is 101% and 106.5% since the start of the year.🎰

Happy mining everyone💪

We are happy to announce testing of Bitcoin Knots v25.1 has completed successfully, and is now deployed to production. Among other improvements, this upgrade fixes this long-standing vulnerability exploited by modern spammers. As a result, our blocks will now include many more real transactions and help to bring an end to the DoS attack being performed on the #Bitcoin network.

So, in addition to our already-established benefits (transparency, non-custodial, and permissionless), we now also offer honest miners the first easy option to contribute toward blocks full of real transactions, effectively a several times larger block size in terms of transaction confirmations, without actually making the blocks any larger.

@nevent1qqs...

We....found another block.

We found a block already.

The generation TX wasn't correct - all the btc will go where they're supposed to of course after ~100 block cooldown. Website confused/will be updated asap.

This is insanely lucky and all the early OCEAN adopters just made a fortune.

On November 28th, #Bitcoin mining will change forever.

Join @npub1sg6pl... Dorsey, @npub1lh273... , Giacomo Zucco, Bob Burnett, and other prominent Bitcoiners live to discuss the Future of Bitcoin Mining.
