They chose not to, but that's common sense.

Keeping the entire reward is 100% irrelevant to decentralization and not something to celebrate.

This is true, but we need more precise language for this. I am once again proposing "sovereign" as the opposite of "hashes someone else's template" while leaving "solo" to mean "doesn't share the block reward".

So:

- self-hosted Public Pool, CKPool, or datum_gateway without pool split = sovereign solo mining

- DATUM on Ocean = sovereign pool mining

- using the Public Pool or CKPool servers = centralized solo mining

- Antpool Borg = centralized pool mining

Except that's not what solo means now either

99% of hashers mean "didn't split the block reward" when they say "solo". Continuing to use the word in an idiosyncratic way is just a barrier to communication at this point.

I do think there's hope still for "hashers" vs. "miners", though.
