Ocean Mining Pool Compensates Miners After Hash Rate Diversion

Ocean Mining Pool's hash rate was diverted to the BIP-110 chain for approximately 18 hours due to a configuration error, causing some miners' earnings to be affected. The pool acknowledged the mistake and has committed to compensating affected users.

The compensation plan will pay around 0.3 BTC per miner, based on the expected returns from mining on the legacy Bitcoin chain during the incident period.

This incident highlights the importance of transparency and control over where miners' hash rate is directed. OCEAN's focus on transparent and decentralized mining practices has been compromised by this configuration error.
