Luke says that “How you choose to split up the reward, is irrelevant to mining being decentralized” that’s exactly opposite
Ocean is the central server that coordinates the coinbase split and sends it to all the miners connected to their server. Without Ocean you are no longer pool mining because ocean is the server that every miner is relying on for the split.
Any pool with client/server architecture (including OCEAN or Stratumv2) can just reject your templates or refuse to include you in the coinbase before you even find a block.
To decentralize anything you first have to remove the central point of control.
If I am mining on Sv2 or DATUM pool and they reject my template, how has template construction been decentralized?
