I was just looking at the mempool (as any normal person does) and I saw Elektron Energy listed as the miner for block: https://mempool.space/block/000000000000000000023d27c6ffc20163536a4ae80387713e86dd2f865b1a67
Never hearing of them before I clicked on the miner and it takes one to Ocean's Mining page (https://mempool.space/mining/pool/ocean)
Am I correct in thinking this is a Nigeria energy company (https://www.elektronenergy.com/) mining bitcoin using Ocean's Pool?
hahah, no its because the miner is using DATUM, and you get to pick the secondary coinbase tag if it was your machine that found the block.
oh, i see you could be right if they are associated. would be surprising to dox themselves that way if not openly mining.
I did a quick google search and didn't seem to find any news articles about them mining.
It makes sense they would mine.
I agree with your statement about doxing themselves.
nigerian prince?
I can see it now: "Dear Friend, I have been mining for many years now with a mining pool but I have let to reach the minimum payout threshold amount. I am within 10% of the payout threshold amount and need your help. If you would please help me mine to reach the payout amount I will pay you back triple the amount of Sats you mined once we reach the threshold and I am paid out."
Nice information
