Everything about OCEAN mining pool: fees, profitability, how to start mining
OCEAN is a US-based Bitcoin mining pool founded by Luke Dashjr, a renowned Bitcoin Core developer. OCEAN charges a 2% fee using its unique TIDES payout model with an ultra-low minimum payout of 0.0001 BTC.

OCEAN pioneered the non-custodial mining pool model and was among the first to implement Stratum V2, giving miners control over block template construction. The pool continues to push boundaries in mining transparency and decentralization.
OCEAN pools hashrate from miners committed to Bitcoin's decentralization principles. Unlike traditional pools, OCEAN allows miners to participate in block template construction through Stratum V2.
