Most Bitcoin miners aren't actually mining. Bob Burnett from Barefoot Mining explains why running a compute center connected to a pool makes you a hasher, not a miner. The pool runs the node, manages the mempool, builds the block template, and receives the coinbase transaction. You just provide hashrate. With Ocean Pool, that changes: miners pick their own transactions and signal for protocol changes themselves. 📲 HashrateUp Hardware Deals: https://t.me/hashrateup 📩 Learn Bitcoin Mining (Free 5 Day Course): https://hashrateup.com/newsletter-sign-up/ #BitcoinMining #OceanPool #BobBurnett #MiningPool #Decentralization #HashrateUp
