Having compared the two over a few months, better payouts on Ocean for me.
Your choice. I’ve run my bitaxe on a pool and it gets a few hundred sats a week. I now run it as a lottery miner on a public-pool instance on my own node.
Other options in your situation are the nano3s or, if you’re a bit bigger in budget, an avalon Q. Smaller options like nerdqaxe or bitaxe hex might be worth a look if they’re on sale.
If the only concern was "water...now" you'd have thrown up any old ditch or piping and called it a day. Of course it would be long gone by now.
Numerous other examples exist. Bazalgette over-engineered his sewerage system in London such that large parts of it still function perfectly well today despite the growth of the city. Even having the foresight to include secondary tunnels for other infrastructure alongside the sewers. It's over 150 years old but was carefully thought out, properly built and designed to work beyond a tiny lifespan.
If people believe bitcoin is to be a system used well into the future, it makes sense to engineer it thoughtfully and robustly.
Roman architecture, viaducts and the like are still in use today in some places because they built it to last. It's older than 1,000 years.
It's important the people today do the right thing if you think this is a system with potential to last as long.
Loki rigs will come in around the 800-1000w mark. Avalon Q has some power modes for under 1000w.
Else it’s just stacking nano3s or the like.

Are you in a particularly warm environment? Ensured the heatsink is seated properly? Otherwise I can't really see why the temps are behaving that way. 5.1V input suggests the power supply is fine. ASIC voltage is correct.
I let mine run for about an hour with the tab left open so it would log a good bit of data. You'll notice the frequency is a lot higher at 600MHz but my power draw is like 10% lower than yours with the commensurate efficiency improvement. You'll also notice the temperature is basically flat with a room temperature of about 25 celsius.
I find it unlikely he/she/they hasn't been involved all along the way. I can't really conceive of a person who, if alive, could sit silently while events occur with their creation.
That said, if they destroyed their keys, I can understand there is no value to revealing their identity. They can just carry on in plain sight with a new one.
Meanwhile...
(I appreciate Ocean for their honesty with "Latest" error because lightning is probably the least reliable network I've ever used)
I suspect the difficulty setting on Ocean is a bit higher than other pools and not really suitable for bitaxes.
Nah it's solo mining either way. Winner gets all. The "web" version just has the advantage of being public which is why you can see some statistics about the users/devices using it.
If you use your own instance on your own hardware it's the exact same interface and such but just private.
Funny seeing a bunch of these clowns who have spent the past months trolling about it now saying "hmm perhaps this is a good idea".

You can use the "public" version @ https://web.public-pool.io/#/
If you have your own hardware (I use Start9 on a mini-PC under my desk) you can run it at home thus the pool URL in my picture showing a local IP address as my bitaxe is connecting my own start9 node.
It's solo mining so no payout unless you hit a block which will likely not happen in my lifetime...but that's the lottery bit.
As people like Mechanic have explained on podcasts Ocean is a pool where you go if you generally agree with their ethos around "spam minimized" or "data free" blocks but it requires you to be able to accept more variable payouts because some days Ocean finds multiple blocks but some days finds none. For miners relying on "cashflow" that can present a challenge if they have bills to pay for hosting or electricity etc. but the pool has a stretch of lower block finds. For someone running some equipment at home or in the garage they might not have a problem stomaching a few weeks of low earnings because it usually averages out in the end before they go bankrupt.
I know when I mined at Braiins it was basically a flat line of earnings per day that only changed when the difficulty was adjusted. You could predict almost to the sat what you'd get. With Ocean it's frankly all over the place but as mentioned, tends to average out when you look at it over say a 30 day timeframe. I find the overall earnings roughly the same but I'm only running some dinky home mining equipment. Perhaps it would be different if I had a warehouse full of S21's or something.
