I would say say ocean is not the best choice for the #plebminer with intermittent hash. Lightning payouts cool but payouts a couple hops from the coinbase are cooler. The biggest issue with ocean is the dilution of shares over time when hashing intermittently and the in ability to take advantage of high fee environments. With an fpps pool I can fire up hash when the conditions are favorable and get paid. I think custodians are very useful tools, no kyc of course. The other issue with ocean is the privacy. All hashers are open to public analysis.

I have not heard the privacy argument before. Do you have specific concerns about your ocean account getting doxxed or surveilled?

You can just say yes if you don't want to elaborate. 😅

First off, there is an incentive to reuse addresses rather than rebuild shares on new address after each payout. If you make a mistake and link your identity to one utxo, you dox them all. For lightning payouts I guess that's not as much of a concern. Also, because the address is linked to your exact hashrate it would be easy for someone to determine what kind of equipment you have. It's just a lot of information out in the public that can cause trouble in the future. Takes some consideration. The pool I use has automatic paynym payouts, so I get low transaction history utxos, kyc free, to new addresses every payout and they don't have my xpub.
