Maybe don't let Ocean mining gas light you into thinking they're "decentralizing mining" a day after they have some competition from another new pool that aims to make Bitcoin mining better than anything they're doing. Full node requirement to mine on a pool is an actual way to decentralize Bitcoin more with each miner actually having a say in template.
