The other benefit of Ocean is that it's much easier to verify how much fee revenue you're actually getting. Though miners can also just A/B test their hash power to figure out which pools pays better.

But they're also missing out on out-of-bound payments by not having an accelerator. 

 That benefit is something that a non-censoring pool can easily replicate. 

 Indeed, in the podcast episode we introduce the idea of Ocean 2 for better comparison. But right now there is no Ocean 2, though we did not get into arguments about market efficiency :-)

 I hope some other Ocean-like direct payout but non-censoring pool will emerge in the future. Their direct payout idea is really neat, respect for that, but the ideological censorship is pointless yet creates drama.
