Bitcoin Country, here we come! 🌴 We are thrilled to announce that OCEAN has expanded into El Salvador πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡». OCEAN MINING S.A. de C.V. will serve as our global hub of business development as we continue to bring features to market that push the envelope of decentralization in #Bitcoin mining. Thank you Nayib Bukele, Bitcoin Office SV, and Stacy Herbert for creating the blueprint for Bitcoin adoption and for welcoming us into your country. https://url-shortener.newsdirect.com/DWho6ywY https://url-shortener.newsdirect.com/g8jtB8Yg image
It's time for Lightning⚑️ and it's time for BOLT12πŸ”© image As of today, OCEAN miners can attach a BOLT12 offer to their #Bitcoin address and get paid out over Lightning! BOLT12 offers allow us to request multiple invoices for any amount while only requiring the miner to set things up once. Miners simply sign a message containing the offer using the private key associated with their Bitcoin address. Using BOLT12 also allows us to prove to the world that a payment was made, the size of the payment, the node to which it was paid, and that it was paid by us. This means we can continue to offer fully transparent and verifiable pooled mining while no longer being restricted by the base layer! Using the Bitcoin stack to its fullest is how we eliminate the need for trust and bring sovereignty to mining. https://newsdirect.com/news/ocean-innovates-bitcoin-miners-offered-first-ever-lightning-payouts-using-bolt12-946331135
We're proud to announce our new template - it will consist only of transactions approved by the US government.
⛏️~~Stats~~⛏️ Since launching in November, OCEAN has mined 28 blocks consisting of 175 newly generated coins and 9.29785518 BTC in transaction fees - a total of 184.29785518 BTC. Those mining with OCEAN since launch are sitting at around 112% of the rewards they could expect from the well known alternatives. Prior to OCEAN, almost all block rewards went to the same dozen addresses under the control of just a handful. OCEAN added 33 more addresses to this as miners started choosing to get paid directly by the Bitcoin network in OCEAN blocks. OCEAN's overall luck is 101% and 106.5% since the start of the year.🎰 Happy mining everyoneπŸ’ͺ

Happy New Year from all of us at OCEAN. 2023 was an historic moment for us. Resurrecting Eligius, bringing transparency to #Bitcoin mining, and beginning the journey to decentralized block template construction. 2024 is where the rubber meets the road and we’re stoked. We’re so grateful to our early miners who have supported us, and for those on the fence, we welcome any questions you have. If you haven’t noticed, hashrate is growing πŸ‘€ and we’re thrilled to have found our 4th block today πŸŽ‰
In the pursuit of truth @PrestonPysh and @GrassFedBitcoin discuss the β€œwhy” behind OCEAN’s mission and answer some frequently asked questions. Great job gentlemen! #Bitcoin Video: Spotify:
Congratulations on block three to all OCEAN miners πŸŽ‰. The miner used the standard template which filters spam and as a result block 823129 included ~1400 more real financial transactions that otherwise would have been left out in the cold. This is the cleanest block #Bitcoin has seen in ages.
From our families to yours, wishing everyone a Merry Christmas πŸŽ„
