 About how often does ocean hit a block in your experience?

 ocean has mined 8 blocks the past month, i have only been pooling with them for the last two blocks

previously i was pooling with braiins, which has daily lightning payments, but apparently they are an antpool proxy 😞 https://m.primal.net/JDYK.png

 Yeah I was mining on braiins a long time ago but payouts got to be too small with my little home hash and the antpool template news is weak af. I just switched over to ocean to try it out from ck .solo since I was probably never going to hit a block anyway ha. Cheers mate!

 just found out they use BOLT12 which is not supported by LND, and that is what alby uses. i need to get a home server and get a CLN started 😭

 What’s CLN? And is BOLT12 bad for mining blocks?

 CLN is the core lightning network implementation, im using GetAlby which apparently uses the LND implementation. BOLT 12 is an update for lightning but its currently only available on CLN and not LND

this is only for withdrawing on ocean via lightning, this has no effect on the block mining πŸ€”

 Ahh understood. I’m new to all of this so I appreciate it. 

How have you liked mining with the ocean pool though? Do they find a decent amount of blocks?

 well ocean has a very small percentage in the global hashrate, the time in between blocks can be much bigger, they spent over 2 weeks without mining a single block but then mined 3 in the same day
