I&#39;ve never pointed hashrate at PyBL0CK&#39;s Stratum server but they&#39;ve been offering their mining endpoint for some months now (that I know of).<br/><br/>It&#39;s still obviously better if you mine with your own infrastructure. 2026-06-20T13:01:18Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdd7m3cgtk2k7uz3drxj6lcnppz5wu509rl92h8cn4hrrnd829cfgzypal0kur7uez3awldw35sj0j470a2jl4vk6666v2cuyzfxe3qpu6q62xgkd In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqst4p68x7rqjtlgkt64mfvg4e3q6hs34stl4fcts5gzj58n7ypk96cr0w834'>nevent1q…w834</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>It&#39;s true that renting hashrate for your DATUM gateway is like swapping your UTXOs for new ones coming directly from the coinbase transaction of OCEAN blocks, but there&#39;s very little privacy (if at all) considering all the information that Braiins sees (and what&#39;s public).<br/><br/>You can add several layers of obfuscation, like disabling worker names in your DATUM gateway and exposing it to the internet from an IP not linked to you. But even then someone who is continuously scraping the Braiins orderbook and the DATUM dashboard can notice when a new bid appears for the first time in Braiins and if a new miner pops up on the OCEAN dashboard with the same hashrate.<br/><br/>You can further obfuscate a bit by having multiple bids and using username modifiers (<a href="https://github.com/OCEAN-xyz/datum_gateway/blob/master/doc/usernames.md#username-modifiers-advanced">https://github.com/OCEAN-xyz/datum_gateway/blob/master/doc/usernames.md#username-modifiers-advanced</a>) to distribute your hashrate among several reward addresses, but as you see there&#39;s no silver bullet. 2026-04-09T22:48:36Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgwyxx6l2zhcdg7f9z7f9zd7fwna90qn5p7v2mvw5sdemv4kppulszypal0kur7uez3awldw35sj0j470a2jl4vk6666v2cuyzfxe3qpu6qg507vm In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsraghqzm4l9uwf7w7pkdc0rhhegf6p6aj8v3dgk0emqttx0fnmgpsugckyk'>nevent1q…ckyk</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;m rooting for the exact opposite 👍 Hashrate production is adequately decentralized, but hashrate consumption isn&#39;t.
