⛏️ A Solo Miner Packed Block 956324 to the Brim

45/ 100

July 2, 2026 at 06:48 AM UTC

Block 956324 was mined by an unknown solo miner — not a large mining pool — which is relatively rare in today's Bitcoin network. It's also exceptionally full, squeezing in 5,741 transactions right up to Bitcoin's block weight limit. Curiously, the total fees collected add up to essentially zero, which is worth a second look.
