OCEAN’s historical luck is, again, converging at 100% and the data is clear: OCEAN miners earn an additional +6.27 BTC per EH/s annually.
Where does this surplus come from? Volatility.
Legacy pools "smooth" payouts by charging miners a hidden premium to absorb volatility. They rarely publish the data required to calculate the true cost of that premium - which almost always exceeds their stated fee.
At OCEAN, we believe in absolute transparency. No guesswork, no hidden costs, just share-level clarity.
Miners who embrace protocol volatility shouldn't just "endure" it; they should capture the rewards. By riding the curve together, our miners keep the full upside of the network - including the "monster" fee blocks that legacy models often omit.
As @saylor says: “Volatility is vitality.” Volatility is the engine of distribution. That distribution is where your surplus yield lives.
The Long-View Strategy:
• The Reality: Short-term fluctuations are inherent to the protocol.
• The Math: Over time, luck inevitably trends toward 100%. The math is final.
• The Scale: As OCEAN grows, swings tighten. More hashrate means a smoother path to resolution.
The trade-off is simple:
Exchange the expensive "artificial smoothness" of centralized pools for maximum yield.
Don’t just mine.
Capture the upside.
Mine with OCEAN.

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. 💪🌊

⚠️ Security Alert: Active Impersonation Scams on Telegram
We’ve received multiple reports of scammers actively impersonating OCEAN staff on various platforms, including Telegram, in an attempt to defraud users.
While Telegram may be the most visible problem today, scammers exist on all platforms. Remain vigilant, and always question anything remotely suspicious. Always confirm critical info by multiple contact methods.
[ ⚠️ Full Alert Below 👇 ]
Telegram users have been reporting an increased number of impersonation attempts lately.
Due to fundamental security weaknesses in Telegram's design specifically, these impersonators can appear indistinguishable from legitimate accounts, including using realistic names, handles, profile photos, and operating inside expected groups.
Important:
• OCEAN staff will not initiate meetings using Zoom
• We will never ask you to install meeting software
• We will never ask you to run commands (unless you've specifically asked for support)
• We will never ask for Bitcoin or any form of payment
Do not engage with anyone making these requests, even if they appear legitimate.
For your safety, we strongly recommend contacting OCEAN only through more secure channels, such as Signal, IRC, or Discord. Our official channels are listed on the website.

More than 10 of my bitcoin friends got hacked in the past month. All had 2FA enabled. It didn’t help. Here’s how they almost got me too 👇 HOW THEY FOOL YOU 1️⃣ Someone from your contacts messages you to schedule a call. This is already a stolen account. A friend who got scammed before you. 2️⃣ They send you a calendar invite first. Then, right before the call, they send a Zoom link. At a quick glance it looks legit. The preview looks identical to real Zoom. The trick is subtle: the hostname and subdomain are swapped. This is the fake Zoom link they sent me. A real Zoom link would have those two words around the dot swapped. 👀 https:// zoom (DOT) webus05. us/j/47369507762?pwd=7kiAzRm6PNBvNFdBBEY04cr6LLzHPk.1 Easy to miss, even if you know what to look for. Especially when it comes from someone you trust. 3️⃣ The fake Zoom app looks flawless. Perfect copy of the real Zoom UI. No red flags. 4️⃣ You immediately see your friend on video. This is NOT A DEEPFAKE. It’s a recording of your friend from seconds before they got scammed in the previous session. That’s why it looks perfect and trustworthy. HOW THEY GAIN CONTROL 5️⃣ The fake Zoom app says your audio is broken and asks you to update. 6️⃣ The update “fails” and you’re shown a command line troubleshooting guide. ⚠️7️⃣ If you paste that command into your terminal, it’s over. You just gave the attacker remote access to your computer. HOW THEY ROB YOU 8️⃣ The malware they install remotely is simple and runs fast. It takes one or two seconds. It usually does two things: A) Scans your computer for bitcoin wallets and steals access. ⚠️B) Steals session cookies from chat apps. This is how they bypass your 2FA later. ELI5 SESSION COOKIES When you log into Telegram on your laptop, you enter your password and 2FA once. Telegram then saves a session token on your computer so you don’t have to do it every time. That token is basically: “Yes, this is the same person who gave you the password and 2FA earlier.” When attackers steal it, they present it to Telegram, which sees it as a valid session and lets them in. So they don’t need your password or your 2FA code. THEY ARE YOU. If someone gets access to your computer, you’re done. At that point, it’s just damage control. MY GOLDEN RULE Life is short and beautiful. No client call is important enough to mess with command line troubleshooting. Be lazy. Be safe. PS: unrelated, but we just launched Braiins Hashpower. On-demand bitcoin hashrate. Try it. It’s awesome. Like ice cream when you’re 12 😁

Even having given a whole talk myself at btc++, if you watch nothing else from this week's conferences, this should probably be it.
Kudos, @GrassFedBitcoin

🚀 DATUM Hits 100 Blocks 🌊
Miners all over the world are letting the industry know that decentralization matters.
In less than a year, OCEAN’s DATUM Mining Protocol has spread like wildfire. 📈 Over 65% of OCEAN’s miners are using DATUM, and that number is growing every day.
This means block template construction is making its way back into the hands of the miners, which is not only the most profitable for miners on OCEAN but also one of the best things for Bitcoin.
Decentralization is happening.
Bitcoin is becoming censorship resistant again.
The future is starting to look bright again.
To all of our miners who helped make this possible: Thank you.
We’re humbled by your support and trust.
To all of our future miners: what are you waiting for?
DATUM is ready when you are. 💪

The Tesla odometer lawsuit is hilarious.🤦🏻♂️
Teslas do not artificially increase mileage.
In fact, the opposite used to be the case! There was a bug long ago where the odometer sometimes wouldn't be saved to NVRAM properly & would end up a few miles lower than it was when parked!

This convoluted nonsense is how I "fixed" my problem of having tons of Windows Calculator instances from my frequent use of my keyboard's calculator launch button.
Maybe someone will find it handy. Only tried on Windows 10.

@NVIDIAGTC seems from 18:29 to 19:01 Jensen changed both his jacket and shirt, also the objects in the back ground changed a bit. *see screenshots* #GTCTreasure
