It’s happening.

9am Central Time - we'll be making our biggest announcement yet! https://video.nostr.build/231b56fa13f4c912c3caa8f0a715485c029711821fa9fa902336b93a07f2e65f.mp4

Mechanic was flying all day, that's who usually deals with twitter/nostr stuff.

No, we're operational now.

At 2pm:

Thank you for your continued patience. We are working diligently to recover connectivity. In the meantime, we can confirm that all our servers, including backups are intact—no data loss has occurred, the entire share log is secure, and no payments from the network were affected.

This was caused by a series of calamities, all Acts of God, interfering with several redundencies of fiber and satellite communications at multiple locations—not malicious actors or sabotage. It bears reminding, however, that any time communications to the Bitcoin network are lost, then the pool is not mining and we are not finding blocks. Please ensure your own backups and redundancies are in place accordingly.

We will continue to provide updates when available.

Sorry for the delayed posting.

At 9am:

Due to the hurricane, our main servers and several redundancies were adversely affected by the storms. This is causing a widespread, but expectedly short-lived outage on OCEAN.

While this is our first outage on the pool of any kind, outages, however small or short, are unacceptable. Without revealing the details of our security profile, the chances of this happening were astronomically low, but non-zero. Even that is too high, so we will work to ensure that this doesn’t happen again.

Please ensure your own backups and redundancies are in place accordingly. We’ll have further updates when we have more information.

Shoot us a DM please

Go to 'Settings' and enter what's in the picture below. Under "Stratum User" put bitcoinaddress.worker -> so something like bc1qxxxxxxxxx.bitaxe1

You can already use bitaxes, though they won't get paid out in the coinbase for decades. You'd need to set up Lightning.

You DMd me on my personal acc (mechanic) - check the response there.

There's a lower threshold of 65,536 sats for inactive addresses.

Lightning is complex. On chain is easier than any other pool frankly as no account creation is required.

One address is ours for those who didn't hit the threshold yet.

There are multiple reasons for this.

BREAKING: Bitcoin mining centralization.

OCEAN reaches 56% of unique miners receiving newly generated coins.

Our latest block paid out 50 unique Bitcoin addresses from the coinbase, meaning 50 people received bitcoins directly from Bitcoin itself, not from a middle man.

Over the past six months, 174 addresses have received bitcoin payouts direct from the blockchain.

97 of these were miners mining on OCEAN.

This is the way. Join the revolution. https://image.nostr.build/ d92872452c388990787660e1ff890c9e30df6e615506d020fd83df189819e93e.png

Let us know if you need help setting it up

it's honestly one of the most important things that could happen to nostr
