Jason Hughes, who is VP of engineering at OCEAN, drafted a “BIP110 / RDTS: What Miners Need to Know”, a 9 page document to help keep miners, including OCEAN customers/users, informed about things they may need to remain aware of as BIP110 plays out (ref: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14DfMSVYBHTHIOmW32JTOR6BAP7AITbinvrhl8rJuvvc/edit?tab=t.0). 

He notes that he “had hoped could be put out as a miner education piece at OCEAN” but “it never got published” and “That effort failed” so he posted it personally instead (ref: https://x.com/wk057/status/2077444826232955365).

In your role at OCEAN of “Head of Communications”, this sort of correspondence to your customers would seem under your direct purview. OCEAN has communicated about BIP110 previously, “We encourage miners to study BIP-110, form their own view, and signal accordingly” and this post seems a valuable, if not the most valuable, part of that study.

Did you advocate for or against OCEAN publishing this seemingly thoughtful and accurate information for your users/customers? Why or why not? And why wasn’t it ultimately published?

There have been many attempts to agree on official comms regarding BIP110 scenarios that were sadly fruitless.

In the end, what happens next month depends on who you talk to, as well as how miners can prepare for it.

Jason said what he believes to be likely and stated that they're his views in so doing. I didn't have access to what he wrote prior and didn't have the option of approving/disapproving it.

Jason says this is not true:

Eh I'm wrong here. I did have access to the linked document above per Jason. I forgot about it, and definitely don't remember if I said anything about it being OK to post or not (and I don't have that authority anyway, despite being "head of comms").

has there been any communication at all sent out to ocean miners/posted through ocean official comms about preparing for it?
