Bitcoin mining pools have traditionally operated on a simple bargain: you give us your hashpower and your personal information, and we give you a dashboard. Ocean Mining just decided that second part is unnecessary.
The decentralized mining pool launched Portal on July 22 at the Mining Disrupt 2026 conference in Miami, introducing what it calls a permissionless, end-to-end encrypted dashboard for miners. The tool requires no account creation, no email, and no KYC verification. All a miner needs is a Bitcoin address.
What Portal actually does
The dashboard lets miners aggregate multiple Bitcoin addresses into a single view, complete with site and worker statistics, payout tracking in both Bitcoin and fiat, and advanced reporting tools.
Ocean President Mark Artymko introduced the tool live on stage at the Miami Airport Convention Center. The core pitch is straightforward: miners should be able to monitor their operations without surrendering data sovereignty to the pool itself.
