Point a miner at the pod and every accepted share mints KUMP, weighted by proof-of-work. Your slice of the cooperative equals your slice of the work — no house edge, no buy-in, keys stay yours. The honest inverse of the "buy-a-block-lottery" scams, and the ownership a faceless mega-pool never gives you.
Not a money machine. A fairer, more sovereign, fully transparent way to mine together — for the ownership and clean sats, not a return.
We never publish a number we can't point to on-chain. When the pod is live, this panel shows real hashrate, real blocks, real odds — with "N=X, accumulating" while the sample is small. No fabricated stats. Ever.
| "Gold" lottery packages | Faceless mega-pool | KUMP | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How you get a share | buy a ticket | rent hash, then leave | earn it by hashing |
| Economics | −10 to −18% house edge | fair, but you own nothing | fair + ownership stake |
| Custody | send BTC to a stranger | paid to your address | your address → non-custodial |
| Transparency | opaque | a dashboard | open ledger + open source |
| You walk away with | (usually) nothing | sats | sats + a stake in a growing co-op |
The line that is the project: ❌ buy KUMP for a bigger jackpot share = gambling + a security — never. ✅ earn KUMP by hashpower = a mining-contribution token. Cross that line and KUMP becomes the very thing it was built to replace.
We'll say what no other coin's homepage will: Ocean already does transparent, non-custodial, no-KYC payouts — it's huge, proven, and we respect it. We're not chasing the same thing.
KUMP's one real difference: every other pool makes you a customer — KUMP makes you an owner. You earn a stake in the cooperative by the same hash that earns sats, and the operator earns KUMP the same way you do — by hashing. No pre-mine, no team bag, no apex. "Better" is a bet on building it together — not yet a fact, and we won't claim it is.
🛡️ We build in the right order. Prove the pool first; the tradeable token ships last — and only once securities counsel signs off. Discipline over hype — that's the difference.
No money, no token, no pitch — just one note when the MVP is live and you can point a miner at the pod and watch your hash mint KUMP.
