⚠️ Security Alert: Active Impersonation Scams on Telegram

We’ve received multiple reports of scammers actively impersonating OCEAN staff on various platforms, including Telegram, in an attempt to defraud users.

While Telegram may be the most visible problem today, scammers exist on all platforms. Remain vigilant, and always question anything remotely suspicious. Always confirm critical info by multiple contact methods.

[ ⚠️ Full Alert Below 👇 ]

Telegram users have been reporting an increased number of impersonation attempts lately.

Due to fundamental security weaknesses in Telegram's design specifically, these impersonators can appear indistinguishable from legitimate accounts, including using realistic names, handles, profile photos, and operating inside expected groups.

Important:
• OCEAN staff will not initiate meetings using Zoom
• We will never ask you to install meeting software• We will never ask you to run commands (unless you've specifically asked for support)
• We will never ask for Bitcoin or any form of payment

Do not engage with anyone making these requests, even if they appear legitimate.

For your safety, we strongly recommend contacting OCEAN only through more secure channels, such as Signal, IRC, or Discord. Our official channels are listed on the website.

Block 913272 was found yesterday by a small miner: @Muninn revealed that it was him, using a QAxe++, a @Start9 and DATUM on OCEAN.

Seeing miners of all sizes have their voices heard by mining their own blocks and seeing decentralization happen in real time is why we do this.

Keep hashing, have a great weekend and congratulations, pleb miner. 🫡
