Since launching in November, OCEAN has mined 28 blocks consisting of 175 newly generated coins and 9.29785518 BTC in transaction fees - a total of 184.29785518 BTC.

Those mining with OCEAN since launch are sitting at around 112% of the rewards they could expect from the well known alternatives.

Prior to OCEAN, almost all block rewards went to the same dozen addresses under the control of just a handful.

OCEAN added 33 more addresses to this as miners started choosing to get paid directly by the Bitcoin network in OCEAN blocks.

OCEAN's overall luck is 101% and 106.5% since the start of the year.🎰

Happy mining everyone💪 
 Wen lightning payouts 
 Lightning payouts sound cool until you realize you need to run a CLN node. 
 Why does it need to be CLN? This is news to me. 
 You need to be able to submit a bolt 12 invoice. 
 Only way to prove we've paid people. It would completely break our design if we didn't use BOLT12 and just said "trust us!"

We've allocated resources to help people get setup with BOLT12 but really LND just need to get on with it. 
 Hey! I am running a CLN node. And i do some small mining in OCEAN. I would very much like to participate and help! 
 none of this is accurate. braiins does it without bolt12. it uses bolt11. which also means lnd can be used. there is nothing inherent about lightning payouts and having to use bolt12.  
 None of this is accurate. Ocean specifically stated two weeks ago that you'll need a bolt 12 invoice and the ability to sign a transaction with your private key.

Please remember that Braiins has accounts and Ocean does not have accounts.

 ahh we're talking specifically about their implementation. 👍 sounds like maybe two people will actually be able to use this feature. so good for those guys.  
 Yes, but then there is no way to prove the money went to right place. 
 I will learn about mining. 
 Do you still censor Samourai TX0 ? 
 Not many people are talking about the potential impact of Ocean on the Bitcoin mining pool landscape. 

It will, over time, make Bitcoin more decentralized and secure. Their entry into the mining game has already created competitors to innovate, I'm thinking of Braiins allowing for LN payouts finally.

 Undisputed best payout system, best transparency and privacy.  Overall just the beat pool.  Stop mining with FPPS cucks and move to ocean

 What's the minimum payout 
 1,000,000 sats  
 Do you have the stats on what those 28 blocks would have yielded, if you optimized them for profit? 
 👀 
 If a miner could generates a burner address to send bitcoin to, would you change the bitcoin code to create more coins that could be minted and distributed out to users that burned the coins? 
 Will be joining you in May. 
 Hello: Is it possible for someone who has never mined anything right now to make any bitcoin?Maybe not the right place to ask, but can you guide a COMPLETE NEWBIE to get started mining with your platform A-Z? What do i need to do? What do I need to buy? What are all costs? If anyone can hep, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
