⛏️ A lone miner claims block 956,312 — and packs it to the brim
July 2, 2026 at 05:09 AM UTC
This block was mined by an unknown solo miner, not a major mining pool — a rare sight in today's highly competitive Bitcoin mining landscape. On top of that, the block is filled almost exactly to its maximum allowed size, meaning whoever built it did a thorough job selecting transactions. With over 3,000 transactions included, it's a quietly efficient block with an interesting backstory.
