Disclaimer: I've never dealt with inscriptions or ordinals and I'm not a fan tbh. I am also not a fan of the current fees.

But I'm not a fan of censorship either.

Let's be real, profit is what's it about for miners, home space heaters excluded maybe. Then there is choice. Why would a miner choose a pool that yields less returns than another one? This is what a meant with winning strategy.

I generally like the approach and ideas of Ocean, but saying you are decentralising mining and being heavily opinionated at the same time doesn't fit. For me at least.

P.S. I had a transaction sitting in the pool for 4 months this year because of fee spike. I know how it feels 🤣

The opinion is only consequential as long as OCEAN does not have full Stratum v2 protocol implemeted and deployed. Once v2 is in place, individual miners can make their own block templates, independent of what the pool coordinator wants. That is the decentralisation potential of OCEAN

That sounds good and is what I would like to see 👍 Ping me when it's there and I'll try. Until then I'll stick to another pool with my little warm making device
