Not massively aware of what Ocean purport to be but in my estimation it's this.
- They see that mining has become a game of size.
- They are trying to draw attention to this and actively trying to encourage solo mining.
I keep having this thought in my head. If everyone who lived in North or South of the tropics that uses a heater in winter used a miner to provide heat, how much of a dent would that put into the centralization of mining pools. I know I'm not the first to think that but the thought in itself illustrates the point. Pools form. It's healthy. But so is the fundamental human right to burn electricity with fiat.
It couldn’t hurt. I have been wanting to try this.
