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.

⚠️ 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.

The data is in.
On a 12-month rolling basis, corroborated by multiple miners, OCEAN earns you more.
+3.6% more Bitcoin earned on TIDES vs. FPPS
Meaning every 1 Eh/s on OCEAN earned +6.27 BTC more than FPPS.
Real numbers. Real value delivered.
More for the miners. 💪🌊

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. 🫡

🚀 DATUM Hits 100 Blocks 🌊
Miners all over the world are letting the industry know that decentralization matters.
In less than a year, OCEAN’s DATUM Mining Protocol has spread like wildfire. 📈 Over 65% of OCEAN’s miners are using DATUM, and that number is growing every day.
This means block template construction is making its way back into the hands of the miners, which is not only the most profitable for miners on OCEAN but also one of the best things for Bitcoin.

This openness drives profitability for you and innovation for the ecosystem.
For your business, it’s a game-changer. For the first time, miners can track payout performance and hashrate down to the proof of work level, and boost their earnings potential with unparalleled clarity and optionality. The data from our miners shows that this level of transparency and freedom can mean substantially more monthly mining revenue.

Transparency into everything surrounding how pools calculate payouts is the only way to ensure maximum profits for miners. Every share, every reward, every payout should be completely verifiable with zero guesswork. Eliminating any and all “fuzzy math”—intentional or otherwise––and ensuring miners like you can independently verify their earnings, no blind trust required.
But, does any pool provide this level of transparency?

2025-03-06 00:36:25 GMT

- reply

Wrong. In reality, miners often earn far less than expected. Why? FPPS pools need massive reserves to guarantee daily payouts, especially during stretches of bad luck. To build and maintain these reserves, pools introduce hidden fees, murky spreads, “lost” shares, and opaque calculations. Meaning miners are left guessing the true value of their accepted shares and often left earning much less than they’d expect.
So, how do you fix this?

2025-03-06 00:35:59 GMT

- reply

Without transparency, miners can’t verify they’re being paid fairly for their hashrate contribution. Take FPPS (Full Pay Per Share) pools, for example. Many assume that contributing 10% of the pool’s hashpower means they’ll get 10% of the block rewards, minus a simple 2% fee (or whatever the pool advertises). Sounds straightforward, right?

@nprofile…xtw4 The current system does. When you have a reward to be paid, it is generated to you.
Doing away with the threshold entirely would not make sense, as it would then cost you more bitcoins to spend your reward than the reward itself is.
When you opt into LN payouts, you are no longer getting generated coins. It's an alternative, not part of DATUM itself. However, DATUM still does the job of letting you create your own blocks, and generating rewards to other miners who choose not to use LN

2025-01-16 23:47:23 GMT

- reply

@nprofile…xtw4
The Lightning option is an alternative to receiving generated rewards. If you set that up, we will attempt to send mining rewards over Lightning after each block. There is no threshold for this, as long as the LN transaction fees (which we pay) are a reasonable percent.

2025-01-16 23:47:12 GMT

- reply

@nprofile…xtw4 Until you meet the threshold, nothing is due under the TIDES reward system. Once you meet it, you will receive your payout either generated or (when a buggy miner finds the block) in a followup transaction 100 blocks later (the minimum allowed by Bitcoin's consensus rules).
You can also change to a different address to trigger the "timeout" criteria if your earnings exceed 0.00065535 BTC.
