Do not engage with anyone making these requests, even if they appear legitimate.
For your safety, we strongly recommend contacting OCEAN only through more secure channels, such as Signal, IRC, or Discord. Our official channels are listed on the website.
Important:
• OCEAN staff will not initiate meetings using Zoom
• We will never ask you to install meeting software
• We will never ask you to run commands (unless you've specifically asked for support)
• We will never ask for Bitcoin or any form of payment
Due to fundamental security weaknesses in Telegram's design specifically, these impersonators can appear indistinguishable from legitimate accounts, including using realistic names, handles, profile photos, and operating inside expected groups.
[ ⚠️ Full Alert Below 👇 ]
Telegram users have been reporting an increased number of impersonation attempts lately.
While Telegram may be the most visible problem today, scammers exist on all platforms. Remain vigilant, and always question anything remotely suspicious. Always confirm critical info by multiple contact methods.
⚠️ Security Alert: Active Impersonation Scams on Telegram
We’ve received multiple reports of scammers actively impersonating OCEAN staff on various platforms, including Telegram, in an attempt to defraud users.

Block 913272 was found yesterday by a small miner: Muninn revealed that it was him, using a QAxe++, a Start9 and DATUM on OCEAN.
Seeing miners of all sizes have their voices heard by mining their own blocks and seeing decentralization happen in real time is why we do this.
Happy Labor Day.
Many Americans have the day off today, but OCEAN keeps working hard finding 4 blocks so far.
About 90% of our miners use DATUM. Let’s make it 100% 🚀
Reach out to mining@ocean.xyz and we’ll help show you how.
BTCHEL2025 starts today and @bitcoinocean.bsky.social is here!
Stop by for talks from @bitcoinmechanic.bsky.social , @lukedashjr.bsky.social and a DATUM workshop with Leo.
And don't forget to catch Lilly at the booth.
See you in Finland!

DATUM isn’t just a protocol, it’s running in production, finding blocks, reducing bandwidth requirements for remote mining operations, and decentralizing Bitcoin mining.
Questions about DATUM or OCEAN?
Don’t hesitate to reach out. 💪🌊🏄
Docker and FreeBSD means DATUM is even faster to setup and configure, on whatever platforms you choose. Decentralizing the network just got easier.
High-availability proxy support makes DATUM even better at helping miners scale efficiently, maintain maximum uptime and improve monitoring/security.
Auto PoW Splitting allows mining operations with DATUM and multi-wallet setups (revenue sharing, treasury, operations, etc.) to seamlessly receive reward payouts direct from the blockchain to multiple wallet addresses.
Set-it-and-forget-it payment splits straight from the Blockchain.
