 Stratum V2??? 
 Doesn’t ocean run stratum V2? Wasn’t that the whole pitch? 
 Yeh that also said they would fixed bitcoin’s censorship resistance problem.

They ended up censoring samurai whirlpool transactions. 
 Censorship is targeted, filtering is not.  They did not target Samurai specifically or even all coinjoin transactions more generally. 
 There seems to be a fud going around about coin join and op_return

 What did I get wrong?  There are other coinjoin services whose transactions don't use OP_RETURN at all and get mined just fine.  You cannot say that the filter is targeted specifically at coinjoins, because it clearly isn't. 
 Not yet but they're working towards it, which will make this entire debate moot as miners will then be able to construct their own block template regardless of the pool's transaction filtering parameters. 
 Ahh this fills in a few more puzzle pieces for me. I had THOUGHT that Stratum v2 meant that miners build their own blocks, but was confused by reports that OCEAN took orders from Luke's nodes.

 Currently, OCEAN pool contributors have to use OCEAN'S block template because they haven't implemented that part of Stratum v.2 yet.  Once they do, contributors will be able to build their own block templates. 
 So this is even less of an issue and there are even fewer reasons for everyone to react like shit-flinging monkes.
