(resolved) If you are on Ocean's default stratum you're throwing away money!!

Ocean's default stratum is giving out work on a fork more than a dozen blocks behind the chain.

If you're doing that be sure it's what you want and not just a product of defaults being changed out from under you.

They continue...

It's been 12 hours, and they haven't changed anything.

Remember that 12 hours have already passed since the last block was mined; nobody should be using it. Maybe some solo miners.

And we should care about these people why?
Seriously it's not like ocean has been hiding what they are doing for the past however many months.

Let them learn their lesson by loosing some money.

Greg, after all the crap 110 supporters called you and the rest of the people who work on core and everything else you still want to help people that helped the other side? You are a better person then me.

My title of this thread would have been if you have been mining at ocean please keep doing so until you have spent all your money and are homeless living under a bridge.

As of about a half hour ago they switched it back.

I don't particularly care to help any 110 pusher-- but there were presumably miners on the default that had little idea any of this stuff was going on, and had no idea they were burning money.

Same reason for arguing with the 110 pushers in the first place or BSVers... to help people not get suckered by charlatans.

Edit: They're now compensating miners for losses https://x.com/ocean_mining/status/2086623170883399921 -- the amount is a little lower than I expected from the change in hashrate when they switched back, but that could be due to other miners moving off the explicit 110 endpoint at the same time.
