⛏️ A Solo Miner Just Packed Block 954,285 to the Brim

45/ 100

June 18, 2026 at 05:26 PM UTC

Block 954,285 was mined by an unknown or solo miner — someone operating outside the big mining pools — which is a rare sight these days. They filled it nearly to Bitcoin's block weight limit with 5,211 transactions, making it one busy block. What's unusual is that all those transactions settled for zero reported fees, which is worth a curious look.
