You have to be in the top 15 or so miners on OCEAN to get a coinbase payout. DATUM doesn't solve this problem, it solves a different problem.

With CTV payouts we can drop the lower limit of non-custodial payouts effectively to the dust limit. It's a huge help to small miners who don't want to have to trust any pool.

Even for large miners who can afford to solo mine, many choose not to do so. With CTV they can also access non-custodial mining rewards and de-risk their operation.

I think it literally helps everyone in mining except Bitmain. Fuck Bitmain. This is how we win.
