Dashjr Departs OCEAN Amid Mining Vision Disagreements
Luke Dashjr, co-founder of Bitcoin mining pool OCEAN, has left the company by mutual agreement. The separation was due to differing visions for the future of Bitcoin mining following recent protocol developments.
Dashjr had stepped back from his responsibilities at OCEAN earlier in August, and this permanent departure removes him from the company's leadership and ownership structure.
OCEAN will continue operating its transparent, non-custodial pool for Bitcoin miners without Dashjr. The company has not announced a replacement chairman or chief technology officer, nor provided details on how Dashjr's former technical responsibilities will be distributed.
Dashjr plans to create a new venture called CONVOY, which will continue his mission of decentralizing Bitcoin mining. However, no official website, technical documentation, or launch schedule was available at publication time.
