“I ran this test and ocean won…even with unlucky variance. FPPS pools are shorting their customers while (many) also are not actually taking variance risk. Ripe for disruption, to say the least.”

@denverbitcoin Helping Build UpstreamDatainc

“I mined with them since day 1 - I can confirm I earned more than FPPS. You can look at the data on the ocean website. Each miner's data is 100% transparent to look at.”

@TimoThisis Co-Founder Munich International Mining, Bitcoin since 2014

“I mine with @ocean_mining because: Earn more sats than if I mined at other pools, despite filtering! Get paid out direct from coinbase tx. Transparency in pool payouts. No KYC, only payout address. Only downside is variance. Check your incentives & time preference.”

About Us

Meet the team

Luke Dashjr Chairman & CTO

Nostr

As the longest tenured Bitcoin Core developer, Luke has made a lot of contributions to the Bitcoin space, including much of the technology that makes mining work today. In 2011, he wrote and started one of the earliest mining pools, Eligius, named after the patron saint of gold miners. He also maintains the enhanced Bitcoin full node software called Bitcoin Knots, which includes many advanced features for Bitcoin mining.

Mark Artymko President

Power systems engineer with 18 years experience in the design, build, and operation of high voltage electric systems within Canada and the USA, with specialized focus on integration of large loads onto the grid. Fell in love with Bitcoin in 2021 and is a firm believer that miners are God’s gift to utilities. Entrepreneur at 41, father of 7, husband of 1.

Ian Northon Chief Legal Officer

Mr. Northon is an experienced federal court trial lawyer. A Bitcoiner since 2013, and now in-house as the co-founder of OCEAN, he helps manage risk and build great things for Bitcoin. With his wife of 20+ years–and cadre of children–Ian concentrates on improving decentralization, transparency, and keeping Bitcoin Mining permissionless for the future. Before Bitcoin, Ian was a professional baseball player and tackles challenges with competitiveness, courage, and conviction. All my posts express my views alone; no one else's.

Jason Hughes VP, Engineering

Over two decades of experience as a professional software, network, and hardware engineer. Starting in 2012, co-operated the second-ever Bitcoin mining pool, Eligius. As a security researcher, became known as “the Tesla hacker” after discovering and reporting critical security flaws that allowed remote access to every Tesla vehicle in the world. Active software developer working towards a decentralized Bitcoin future.

Bitcoin Mechanic Head of Communications

Bitcoin Mechanic has been a passionate advocate and well known voice for bitcoin since discovering it in 2011. Since then, he has participated in network upgrades, education on sovereign usage of Lightning and now works at OCEAN as Head of Communications aka Chief Boiling Officer. Currently on a mission to break up the centralization of mining and promote miner-side template construction.

Vincenzo Palazzo Lead Lightning Developer

Too young to be a tech lead, yet with more patches in FOSS projects than most in a short span of time. A prolific contributor to the Lightning Network ecosystem, he spends his free time hacking on the Rust compiler and the Linux kernel.

Robert Luft Director, Business Development

Robert was introduced to Bitcoin while managing his company specializing in data center network design and build. It was during this time he realized the importance of the infrastructure supporting the Bitcoin network. He is a veteran of the U.S. Army, serves on small business nonprofits boards advocating on policy and regulation, and enjoys spending time working to build the future of Bitcoin.

Lillian Dembinski Executive Coordinator

Studied IT & Digital Communications, found it a pricey way to discover she never wants to code. Over 15 years of experience in hospitality, helping build successful businesses across the US, advising from pre-construction, training and development through business management, eventually going on her own to consult some of the industry's leading brands. First heard about Bitcoin in 2021 through an employee. Gaining a deeper understanding of Bitcoin and how it can change the world, she felt inspired and pivoted. Now she does everything (but code) to support the mission.
