⛏️ A Solo Miner Quietly Packed Block 954992 to the Brim

45/ 100

June 23, 2026 at 11:05 AM UTC

Block 954992 was mined by an unknown solo miner — not one of the large mining pools that dominate most blocks. It's also unusually full, squeezing in 5,466 transactions right up to Bitcoin's block weight limit. Solo miners are rare finds; most of the time a lone operator would need extraordinary luck to beat the big pools to a block.
