I remember you already use coinos.io (who have bolt12), so it's just going through the steps to sign the offer. You can do this with Sparrow wallet and there's a guide on Oceans website.

Yes I saw that recently- might try to do that although not familiar with Sparrow wallet it would be great to compare Ocean as I always intended to try them. Not highly confident on the complex technical stuff but will look at it.

It takes two minutes. Very easy setup. You just have to remember to copy the ocean message from their site and paste it into the notes of the CoinOS Bolt 12 offer to get the correct message to be signed

Got LN set up configuration confirmed on Ocean! Its not too easy for non tech like me (took me 2 hours lol! to download and learn how to operate Sparrow etc but got there eventually) Only drawback is it seemed I must use the Sparrow BTC address as my primary Ocean mining address to then enable the Coinos LN address payments which means I now need to keep access to the Sparrow wallet. Maybe ok as it seems like a nice wallet and useful for this at least. Hopefully everything works ok and will be interesting to see if there's a better return or if the Lucky miner is simply not sending/getting its work adequately to the mine pool. Can at least compare results between Braiins and Ocean. Thanks for your help and suggestions.

Cool. See how you go. I did this comparison a while back too, but now I think solo mining is the way to go.
Also not sure if you knew but Ocean only pay out when a block is found unlike Braiins who average out a daily payment. Sometimes there are days when no block is found and others when multiple are found.

Yes I am thinking about solo mining too- more fun as you have chance to win big rather than getting guaranteed to be very small payments. Yes I suspected that Ocean payouts would be only on them getting a block so it makes it a bit difficult to make a clear comparison with Braiins but still good to have got Ocean finally set up and hopefully LN payouts will work. Might end up with one miner going solo/jackpot mining and one for the small but steady LN payments.

One problem I can see is that the network status delay with Ocean is a lot bigger at about 2350 ms whereas on Braiins it was around 500 ms. From here in New Zealand it may be further to the Ocean database than the Braiins one.

Am downloading Sparrow wallet now -I like how they appear to have good linux program support - never tried them before. Will try to set it up today.
