 Serious question, why did Swan mining stop pointing their hashrate at Ocean mining pool? https://image.nostr.build/fb3dbb4711d7953d90195f44a11d8b9421a6b5768cc47bcb63ca9dc4fc5ddfc3.jpg

 Was it around the time of the halving?  Maybe they were trying to solo mine the juicy fees

 Corey wanted to increase the chances that Ocean mined block 840,000 but the rewards are still too unpredictable for the amount of capital they have invested.

 The way ocean pays out, the miner with most hash would receive the first sats of the block. Was the best way to increase your shot at mining a “rare sat” to sell to an idiot.
