OCEAN Co-founder Mark Artymko explains how Bitcoin could remain decentralized even if the mining pool had 51% of the network’s hash rate: “If every miner on the planet basically used a technology like DATUM or like Stratum v2 to make their own templates, essentially, it would become censorship-resistant and... show more

Today we had Mark Artymko CEO of OCEAN join us and he explained how DATUM takes the power away from the mining pools and gives it back to miners, “including the ability to signal soft forks.” “If everybody’s working on a template that 3 companies decided where the correct template, then it’s really not decentralized.” Your Hash, Your Choice.

🇩🇪🔴 A young German teen ponders what Germany would be like if Merkel had not welcomed over 1 million migrants. She was only 4 when the former chancellor made her decision, but life has dramatically changed. "I can hardly recognize the Germany you tell me about today. And since then I’ve been asking myself. What would it be like if you could go to the outdoor pool without fear? What would it be like to listen to German in the pedestrian zone? What would it be like if you didn’t have to feel like a foreigner in your own country? How would it be if the news didn’t have to report new knife attacks every day? What would it be like if a “Welcome Culture” didn’t mean that you yourself were worth less? What would it be like if “home” wasn’t just a word in books? And how would it be if you could ask yourself all this out loud? You said, 'We could do it,' but nobody asked us." Merkel lives with a constant security detail and never had any children of her own. These are all issues she will never have to deal with.

"For every 10% Bitcoin goes down, your rate goes up 20 basis points. So even if Bitcoin goes to zero, your rate only increases by 2%. And it works the other way too" CJ Konstantinos, founder of Peoples Reserve, on how the self-repaying mortgage rate moves with Bitcoin "So, even if Bitcoin went to zero, it's just like a regular mortgage at that point, because you have no Bitcoin working for you anymore. We don't believe Bitcoin goes to zero, but if it did, that would be the consequence" "For every 10% Bitcoin goes up, we reduce your rate by 0.2%, up to a 33% LTV, a 300% collateral ratio. If your loan is $500,000 and you post $1.5 million of Bitcoin, or your original $500,000 grows into $1.5 million, we reduce your rate by 400 basis points. So if you're basic with an 8% starting rate but you over-collateralize, you get a 4% rate" "We believe over time Bitcoin will do what it was engineered to do and accrue value. Intraday volatility doesn't matter, it's a 30-day window. At the end of every month before your payment is due, we take a snapshot. So if Bitcoin flash crashes and bounces back, no change to your rate, it has to be a consistent drawdown over 30 days, and we reamortize the loan based on the collateral ratio at that time"

Today, OCEAN is launching two additional Stratum endpoints. We’ve heard from miners who want a simple way to express support/readiness for BIP110 in their blocks, and we’re making that available. OCEAN has added two new Stratum endpoints: • port 3110 • port 3000 The existing endpoint ( will switch to signaling BIP110 in 1 week (July 15th). DATUM remains the main way OCEAN miners build blocks today, giving miners full control over block construction including the ability to signal directly in the blocks they find. This update simply adds an option to signal for miners who are unable to use DATUM or who need a failover. At OCEAN, we believe miners should have choice in how they participate in the network. If you’d like your hashpower to participate in signaling, you’re welcome to join OCEAN. It’s permissionless, non-custodial, and takes just minutes to get started. Setup details 👇 If you're not using DATUM and you want to signal for BIP110, please switch your pool to stratum+tcp://bip110.mine.ocean.xyz port 3110. If you leave stratum+tcp://mine.ocean.xyz port 3334 as your pool, this will switch to signaling on July 15th. If you do not wish to signal for BIP110, you can switch to stratum+tcp://no-signal.mine.ocean.xyz port 3000 before July 15th.

The whole reason to become an entrepreneur is the pursuit of freedom. You work like hell so one day you can control your time, make your own choices, and do the things you actually want to do. Never be embarrassed by success. If you built it, earned it, and created it yourself, own it. Wear it proudly, because that freedom is exactly what you worked for.

Trump to business leaders: "If you want I'll let you build your own utility plant, your own electric plant, along with your building. You can build it inside the plant or you can build it outside of the plant ... you become a utility ... if you look at California, they have brownouts, blackouts, and everything else."

Tim Draper gave one of the best speeches at the Bitcoin conference: Stablecoins are "still tied to the government, it still inflates with government spending... It's not like you get to control it." "You better hold Bitcoin... If you want to protect your family, you want to protect your company, you want to protect your country." "It's irresponsible now for a company to operate and have a big treasury and not have some portion of 5%, 10%, 15% in Bitcoin... Because when Silicon Valley Bank went out of business, we almost saw the domino effect. We almost lost all the banks right there." "If the dollars that you own are suddenly worthless... what are you going to do?... And if your government and the currency goes the way the old Argentine peso or the Nigerian Naira went and you don't hold any Bitcoin, your government dollars are worthless."

Jalen Johnson on what greatness is to him: "You kind of got to create it on your own. You don't want to listen to outside noise. You kind of just got to run your own race. At the end of the day, if you're happy with what you're accomplishing every day on a daily basis, I believe that's greatness. It doesn't need to be defined by other people" "Is it defined by accolades?" "It's however you want to define it. Everybody's great in their own way"

We just made the Warp API and MCP completely free. Most HR platforms make you sit through a sales call and a questionnaire just to reach your own data. We think that's backwards. You can pull your entire company and employee data, time off, compensation, payroll, IT, basically anything in Warp. Build your own dashboards. Connect Warp to your internal systems. Run your own automations on top of your data. We built this because our customers are technical and AI-native. They don't want to stare at a dashboard. They want to build on top of their data. Legacy platforms silo it on purpose, and the API, when it exists at all, is a pricey add-on buried behind a sales process. We shipped the API eight weeks ago, and some of our top customers have already built real tools on top of Warp. Today we're removing the last barrier to doing that. If you're an AI-native founder, exec, CIO, or Chief People Officer who's been duct taping this together, the API and MCP are now included free on most plans. On Enterprise, a small fee unlocks the more powerful version with uptime SLAs, webhooks, and audit logs. Your data should be yours. Excited to see what you build with it.

Walter Isaacson: If you don't want Elon Musk to control so many industries, you should learn to get stuff done too. “Why is Elon successful at some of these things, like getting 5,000 satellites up? He said we used to be a nation of really great risk-takers. Even the people who ran Boeing probably were risk-takers at one point. Not safety risks, but they were going to try rockets. He said everybody who came here, whether it was on the Mayflower or across the Rio Grande, they were adventurous, they took risks. He says nowadays we have more referees than we have risk-takers. We have more regulators than we have innovators. We have more people saying you can't do it, the lawyers, the whatever. He said it's made it so that our big military contractors can't get anything done. We can't get high-speed rail. I would think that the best way to make sure he doesn't have so much clout on things is for somebody to be able to build more electric vehicles. He built a charging network and then the US Government, Ford, GM, decided to build their own, and they've surrendered because the Tesla charging network works. I'm not trying to just sing his praises, but it would be useful if you don't want him to control the charging network in America, if you don't want him to control the Internet in outer space, if you don't want him to control rocket launches, to have Boeing and Northrop Grumman and others be able to get stuff done.” The 92nd Street Y, October 13, 2023

The owner of a real estate company thought it would be fun to build everyone their own tiny home as an office instead of the typical boring cubicles. He felt that it would be more private for them and it would be fun for the to customize and make it their own. When the workers get to work they seem to be at a home away from home. They are happier and more productive. Would you want to work in your own home office like this or should he just let them have cubicles like everyone else?

Centralized #Bitcoin miners will always follow the path of least resistance. If the State tells them to do something they are going to do it. They don't want to be responsible for leading Bitcoin because they have executives, board members, and investors who can be held to some account if a State does not like what they are doing. An appropriately functioning network of decentralized nodes provides both leadership to the miners as well as cover from the encroachment of the State. If the miners are doing something the State doesn't like then they can pass the buck to the bitcoiners who run nodes that set and enforce the rules of the network. However, if bitcoiners defer their responsibilities to the top 5 mining nodes then they have essentially surrendered the network to the State. In August, the path of least resistance for the miners will be to flip the bit and activate BIP110. You can help provide the leadership that gets them to do what they need to do by running BIP110 on your node and putting some hash behind it. Learn why and how here: &

How to make a key employee feel like an owner without giving them ownership: Phantom equity. You (and your partners) own 100% of the business. You create a separate document called a phantom stock program. It mirrors your equity but lives outside your operating structure. It says: “If we ever sell this business, you get X%.” No liability. No tax consequences. No changes to your LLC or corporate docs. But if they leave, it goes away. Now your A player is building the business like they own it. Because in the outcome that matters most, they do. It's the cleanest way to recruit, retain, and align without giving up control.

People would burn Washington, DC, down. “If the tax person from the IRS had to stand in the lobby of your company, and you got paid in cash, and you had to take your cash and hand it to the tax collector and count it out every time you got paid, people would realize how big a tick on your butt the government is, how big a parasite the government is. “And they would, I’m telling you, there’d be pitchforks and torches. “If you actually saw and physically had to take possession of the money and then give it back in cash to the government when you got paid, people’s faces would melt off.” KAMEL: “Just the amount of $100 bills you’re just giving to the IRS for doing nothing. That hurts. It would be a Tea Party round two.” RAMSEY: “So it was a really brilliant idea to do income tax withholding.” KAMEL: “Just make it all behind the scenes.” RAMSEY: “Brilliant psychological trick.”
