i said "i don't see any announcement", not "there's no announcement".
Yesterday, OCEAN mining pool announced and rolled out the new Stratum endpoint: bip110 . mine . ocean . xyz (port 3110).
Except it's not a new endpoint. The mine . ocean . xyz resolves to the same IPs that are hosted @ amazon and google and I think I saw a digital ocean IP in there too.
Just a quick snip of one nslookup
C:\Users\Dave>nslookup mine.ocean.xyz 1.1.1.1
Server: one.one.one.one
Address: 1.1.1.1
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: mine.ocean.xyz
Address: 35.196.61.137
C:\Users\Dave>nslookup bip110.mine.ocean.xyz 1.1.1.1
Server: one.one.one.one
Address: 1.1.1.1
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: bip110.mine.ocean.xyz
Address: 35.196.61.137
C:\Users\Dave>nslookup 35.196.61.137 1.1.1.1
Server: one.one.one.one
Address: 1.1.1.1
Name: 137.61.196.35.bc.googleusercontent.com
Address: 35.196.61.137
So they added a DNS entry and a port mapping.
Big whoop, not like they were mining non 110 blocks anyway.
But it does look like they are going to break 1% signaling for this period with all the hash they rented.
