So, anyone here have any takes in this?
I get that many people here have been calculating potential profitability based on block templates but that's the minimum amount of data you can have to make such projections. It's a sample of 1 assuming perfect conditions.
Since the beginning Ocean founders made a big point on how shares are calculated in a more fair manner in Ocean pool. With all the added entropy of how other pools estimate shares, it's not too unlikely that the ultra big miners steal from everyone else. So even with the supposed most profitable block template, hash on other pools is still less profitable? Potentially true. At least Bob Burnett who runs a lot of hash in Ocean and other places claims so.
It'd be interesting to get more insight in this but it sounds very plausible to me. Especially looking at how scummy other pools have been in the past.
