I dont understand the dilemma here, if miners are gathering their hashpower to homogenise payouts, it is going to be mandatory to have a central point of coordination. The fact that DATUM allows to only have coordination around the payments and not on the template is an upgrade. arouI suppose that if OCEAN makes all their code open source, the disappearance of OCEAN wont be a problem. Dont think that a central pool that coordinates payments is a risk to the network. The risk IMO is censored transactions.
Pools are very much needed and thanks to them the 51% attack is way more difficult. Mining conpanies may not be aligned with the philosophy but thanks to the network incentives they help to secure everything.
