    It turns out these JPEG inscriptions are awesome. Someone's wasting tons of money spamming the network in the hope it causes problems for bitcoin. Instead all they're doing is proving the DoS protection of limited block size works.

    Congratulations to miner 151XTfHBfaDqoNWGGeYobNX2YzFFWuB5YD with only ~17TH for solving the 275th block at solo.ckpool.org! That is likely a single S9 miner. A miner of this size would only solve a block once every ~450 years on average explorer.btc.com/btc/block/7936…

    Congratulations to miner with the first bitaxe block, only a tiny 3TH for finding the 290th solo block on solo ckpool! This much hashrate only would find a block once every 3500 YEARS on average, or 1 in 1.2 MILLION chance per day! mempool.space/block/00000000…

    And here are some images of his mini-farm that solved the block, and his cgminer running showing his best share of 35.5T

    Fun fact - JGarzik created cpu-miner at Satoshi's request as a general purpose CPU bitcoin mining program. I added GPU mining to it in 2011, renaming it to cgminer. It evolved to ASIC mining & is still in hardware today, having mined more than half of all bitcoin that exists.

    Congratulations to another miner with approximately 86TH solving a solo block on solo.ckpool.org ! There are a lot more miners now on the solo pool and if enough people are mining solo, someone will eventually be the lucky one as here. btc.com/btc/block/7201…
    Logs from the pool showing the details of the miner that solved the block, who amusingly called the worker that solved it "omen." Their hashrate has been varying as they intermittently mined solo different amounts. The worker that solved the block had 8.3TH.

    The best outcome would be a random anon solo mining the halving block.
