Jack Dorsey, former CEO of Twitter, and Luke Dash Jr., a Bitcoin Core developer, created a new Bitcoin (BTC) mining pool called OCEAN. Its creation surged amid controversy in the community while openly filtering Ordinals and BRC-20 transactions. On December 6, a privacy-focused Bitcoin wallet, Samourai Wallet, said that OCEAN is also censoring their transactions. According to Samourai Wallet, OCEAN has conclusively filtered their “Whirlpool coinjoin and BIP47 notification transactions.” Notably, Luke Dash Jr. answered the post, claiming there is a bug on the wallet’s software and not on OCEAN’s side.

Ethereum has adopted PoS and rollups to become faster and more eco-friendly, but now it’s time to focus on enhancing privacy. Public blockchain s provide decentralization and transparency, but they lack on the Privacy side. The anonymity of transactions on blockchain s like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) is steadily losing ground, as transactions and addresses are easily tracked. With KYC imposed on most crypto exchanges, the majority of Blockchain transactions can be traced to their initiators, exposing user activity, holdings, and financial data.
