The data is in.
On a 12-month rolling basis, corroborated by multiple miners, OCEAN earns you more.
+3.6% more Bitcoin earned on TIDES vs. FPPS
Meaning every 1 Eh/s on OCEAN earned +6.27 BTC more than FPPS.
Real numbers. Real value delivered.
More for the miners. 💪🌊
Taking a moment to celebrate OCEAN's 100th block milestone. OCEAN has seen a spectacular boost in hash these past few months.
And we're just getting started.
To our miners – Thank You.
To those waiting on the beach: come on in. The water's warm, and the blocks are flowing.
As of block 100:
432.95877508 BTC mined (including 20.45877508 BTC in transaction fees).
Oft-overlooked in mining is the “stale share.” Stale shares are lost revenue from real work.
OCEAN's stale share rate with DATUM is near zero compared to the usual 0.1-0.5% on other pools.
If you missed @wk057 in Vegas @TheBitcoinConf, this is the talk to catch. 👇
Acabamos de encontrar un bloque.
Just found a block.
Big thanks to the @ocean_mining team for the great work you’re doing.
More transparency, more sovereignty, more Bitcoin.
Keep building. 🧡
DATUM on OCEAN
Lower bandwidth.
Fewer stale shares.
Reduced latency.
More BTC.
Sovereign blocks.
1% fee.
Mining in the middle of nowhere never felt so good.
Big respect to @SanghaRenew for pushing the edges of what's possible. 🌊
OCEAN ❤️ Transparency
This dashboard is one of the best examples of transparency to hit the mining industry in a while.
Great work @alphazeta and @ElektronEnergy
Today I'm officially opening up https://t.co/UCBnDLMJ7C
You should not have to rely on narratives alone to understand Bitcoin. Data is power.
This started as a stack of scripts and analyses I'd built up over the years for my own work. AI made it possible to consolidate them into a clean UI without spending another two years on it.
The result is Elektronics: hundreds of charts, calculators, and simulators across the network, the price, the hardware, the miners, and the public equities.
Note: this is a hobby project and in beta. Verify the numbers. Use at your own risk.
It’s now open to anyone who wants to understand Bitcoin with better data. I’ll walk through it in this thread.. [1/n]
Fight the wave of centralization with DATUM and decentralized block templates.
TIDES payouts. More bandwidth efficient. More bitcoin.

Next week in Vegas: @wk057 on stage talking DATUM 🔥
Still not sure what DATUM is? 👇
DATUM = pool rewards + true mining sovereignty.
Miners run their own nodes & create their own block templates.
700 mainnet blocks found and counting.
Full talk 4/28, Energy Stage, 10:15am⚡️
THE LINE ITEM NO ONE AUDITS: their pool.
Mining companies model their electricity cost per BTC to the cent. They track fleet efficiency in tenths of a joule. They present quarterly earnings with decimal precision.
But ask a CFO to verify their pool's rake and you'll get silence.
We published our 2025 OCEAN hashprice vs FPPS comparison data. Over 365 days, OCEAN miners earned 6.27 more BTC per exahash, or 3.6% more, than comparable FPPS pools. Not theoretical. Auditable.
In a post-halving world where margins are measured in basis points, 3.6% is not a rounding error. It's often the difference between a profit or loss.
The spreadsheet is public. (Below)
We'd welcome any pool to publish theirs.

OCEAN
OCEAN built DATUM to give miners more control and open up new ways to mine. This, admittedly, wasn't one of those ways we ever expected but we love it.
Mining is evolving. DATUM is part of that evolution, giving miners new tools, new flexibility, and a bigger role in the process.
Keep building. 💪🌊
A friend of mine who only lurks X has written a blog post about his first experiences renting hashrate for his DATUM gateway.
I think a lot of you would find this interesting, so I asked him for permission to share it more widely:

"The most important part about what we're doing is we're giving control back to the miner." ~ Nacho
Earlier this week our Chief Commercial Officer, Nacho Pauls, sat down with @BITVOLT on @SimplyBitcoin to give an overview of what is OCEAN and why it matters.
Check out the OCEAN breakdown below 👇
OCEAN doing what it set out to accomplish🦾
Instead of two blocks made by the same pool, we get blocks made by two independent miners, exactly the same as if they weren't using any pool at all!
Blocks 944643 and 944644 were built by two different miners on the same pool.
Back-to-Back DATUM blocks.
Back-to-Back sovereign mining.
With other pools, the pool builds the block and the miners hash on it. Meaning the blocks mined by a large share of the hashrate is controlled by a few individuals at the largest mining pools. This makes a 51% more likely and the Bitcoin network less secure.
With OCEAN this isn't the case.
Miners using DATUM can build their own blocks, decentralizing block template construction while sharing in the benefits of pooled mining.
Eliminate the middle men.
Decentralize mining.
Earn more Bitcoins.
Only on OCEAN

Throwback Thursday to Jason (@wk057)'s killer presentation last year at @btcplusplus, where he unpacks DATUM's origin story and the design decisions which led him to write an entirely new protocol.
Highlights:
• sovereign templates via your own node (no pool censorship)
• ~25× bandwidth savings
• improved privacy from your ISP
• lower stales/rejects
• lightweight (you can run it on a Raspberry Pi), and
• 638+ mainnet blocks already mined sovereign-style.
Learn about the protocol that sparked the bourgeoning revolution in mining.
