Ocean Mining is a new and innovative bitcoin mining pool focused on transparency and freedom for the individual miners who choose to use them. With their new DATUM release miners who use Ocean will be able to construct and broadcast blocks themselves removing a key trust component from the process and reducing censorship risk. We had the pleasure of having multiple key members of their team join us for this conversation.
