 This is the way.

Lots of folks weighing in on pros/cons of @OCEAN and I'll avoid that conversation, but am glad to see a non-KYC pleb mining pool. It is like paying your utility to buy non-KYC sats and maybe getting home heating or some other side benefit out of it. I don't know if the non-KYC pools track IP addresses, which could be a footprint. Extra credit would be to run miners and any computer/phone mining pool dashboard browsing through a VPN. A fren uses a pfsense firewall with a load-balancing VPN gateway set up through Mullvad VPN (I hear IVPN always works, but ProtonVPN is problematic as their VPN configs use the same endpoint, as I recall). Fren says you gotta use good VPN servers to avoid excess latency which would increase rejection rate.  Prob not perfect but any step towards privacy is a good.  Good tutorial here if you are interested in going this route.  Not sure if Econoalchemist is on Nostr but kudos for the great tutorial.
