🎓 Explain Like I'm 10

Bitcoin mining is a giant lottery. Every ~10 minutes, one miner wins 3.1319 Bitcoin — worth $256,413 today.

On Oct 20, 2026, this miner using mining hardware found block #972,256. They were mining alone — no big pool, just their own machines competing directly against the entire Bitcoin network (1040.1 EH/s total).

Winning solo means keeping 100% of the reward — no pool fees, no sharing. High risk, high reward.

Avg Gap

How we estimate: Each Bitcoin block found requires approximately difficulty × 2³² hashes. With 187 blocks over 186 days, the implied sustained hashrate is 8.44 EH/s.

⚠️ Not a solo miner. At 8.44 EH/s this is a large mining operation — likely an unregistered pool or industrial farm that mempool.space doesn't yet have a signature for. We display the block for completeness but mark it accordingly.

🔍 How We Know This

⛓️

Block is on the Bitcoin blockchain

The block hash starts with many zeros — proof of work that cannot be faked. It's in Bitcoin's immutable history forever.

🏷️

Pool identified from coinbase tag

The coinbase transaction contains a text signature: /trustpool/,mm~8#M8O:0:K/U(Y6$

📡

Hashrate from Estimated from block frequency (187 blocks found)

We query the pool's public API using the miner's wallet address to get their actual submitted hashrate.

❓ What is Solo Mining?

In pool mining, thousands of miners work together and split the reward every time they find a block.

In solo mining, you work alone. You keep 100% of the reward — but you might go years without finding anything.

The Bitcoin network produces ~52,560 blocks per year. Each block currently pays 3.125 BTC.

Every solo block is proof that small miners can still win. 🎉
