JOINT STATEMENT OF OCEAN AND LUKE DASHJR

Dashjr resigned as chairman, chief technology officer and director, and OCEAN said it will keep its non-custodial mining pool open.

  • On Saturday, August 29, 2026, Bitcoin mining pool co-founder Luke Dashjr departed OCEAN following a mutual separation agreement with parent firm Mummolin Inc, which repurchased all of his equity.
  • The separation stems from differing visions for the future of Bitcoin mining following recent protocol developments, though neither party disclosed specific areas of disagreement.
  • OCEAN will continue serving miners with its non-custodial mining pool; the company reported no service suspension or changes to its payout system following the departure.
  • Dashjr plans to launch a new venture called CONVOY to continue his mission of decentralizing Bitcoin mining, though details regarding its architecture remain unverified.
  • Mummolin has not announced replacements for Chairman or Chief Technology Officer roles, and the company must clarify its leadership structure after losing its co-founder and raising $6.2 million in 2023.
