⛏️ Solo Miner Quietly Packs a Block to the Brim
37/ 100
July 2, 2026 at 05:14 AM UTC
Block 956313 was mined by an unknown solo miner — someone operating outside the major mining pools — which is increasingly rare. It's stuffed with 3,801 transactions and filled almost entirely to Bitcoin's block weight limit, suggesting a wave of inscription activity (data written directly onto the blockchain, often images or text).
- Mined by: unknown / solo miner (not a major pool)
- Transactions: 3,801 — a busy block
- Block size: 2.02 MB, near the weight limit
- Total fees collected: 0.000 BTC
- Likely inscription activity driving the high transaction count
