 Use #Ocean Pool as a miner and support a honest #bitcoin blockchain! 
 I'm sympathetic to this viewpoint now. 
 What is special about ocean? 
 Are you a miner? 

You know much about mining, block template creation, reward calculation, custodial ... 
 I have a miner running in a pool since a few months -lincoin-, but I‘m just getting into it and learning 
 Ahh ok! 

Check, how they payout, FPPS is standard now. 
But you don't get the freshly mined bitcoin

Blocktemplate creation is opaque
Here's a pretty good overview

 great! Thanks for the input 🤝🏽 
 If miners would deprive themselves intentionally of the spam fees, that's really not a good solution to the problem. It also doesn"t make logical sense - why not take their sats? 
 That's the problem, why not make profits and push people who desperately need bitcoin to survive out of the base chain. 
It's not contributing anything to the Satoshi vision of a peer to peer electronic payment network. 
Take your time and listen to Bitcoin Mechanic, it's worth to spend the time!

 Scam ordinals: 
"It's an insult to the seriousness of the project!" Bitcoin Mechanic from the Ocean Pool 
 The ordinals spam seems to have come and gone - haven't seen a series of full blocks for a good while now.

Bitcoin is uninsultable. It's also for enemies. If there's something wrong with the code, the problem should be addressed there instead of convincing already pwnd home miners to further decrease their gains.
