⛏️ Solo Miner Packs Block 956068 to the Brim

45/ 100

June 30, 2026 at 11:47 AM UTC

An unknown miner — possibly someone working alone rather than as part of a mining pool — claimed block 956068 with a remarkably full load of 5,424 transactions. The block is filled right to Bitcoin's weight limit, leaving almost no room to spare. Solo mining a block is a rare feat, a bit like winning a lottery ticket against enormous odds.
