Yes, I think it'd be an attack because Ocean would be crediting the attacker's shares to receive payouts from other honest miners, while they'd get to keep the full reward when they find a block.

However the protocol doesn't assume that miners behave honestly because they share their templates with the pool for inspection: https://github.com/OCEAN-xyz/datum_gateway/issues/1

Sharing the full template is not strictly necessary, though. I believe the datum_gateway could just send the block header, the coinbase transaction and a Merkle proof of inclusion of that transaction. But I don't know if that's what they have in mind for future versions of DATUM.

It is my understanding that whatever is submitted to nostr:nprofile1qywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctv9uqsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dshsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme0qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj7qg7waehxw309ahx7um5wgkhqatz9emk2mrvdaexgetj9ehx2ap0qqsq9k04vahllseell55m74n3047y88pzlr0z5yany32st29fapqmgsfjjhpk in order to get credit for reward splits would make it obvious if you were mining a template that only paid out to your own Bitcoin address, excluding the rest of the pool from any rewards you, such that OCEAN would no longer include you in those reward splits sent to other miners.

Am I incorrect in that assumption nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tcpremhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet59uq3zamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qyfhwumn8ghj7mmxve3ksctfdch8qatz9uqzqa8lc5wvxq2seaumdje3d5aptnen92ef5w87e845sj4325wk6xzkewmej5 ?
