⛏️ Solo Miner Packs Block 955228 to the Brim

45/ 100

June 24, 2026 at 08:54 PM UTC

Block 955228 was mined by an unknown solo miner — someone operating outside the big mining pools — which is a relatively rare sight. They filled it with 5,771 transactions and pushed it right up to Bitcoin's block weight limit, squeezing in as much activity as the rules allow. What's especially curious: all those transactions came with zero fees recorded, making this block a bit of an oddity worth a second look.
