The solo miner who hit the jackpot came back with the receipts. It was one of his six NerdQaxe++, connected to an Umbrel running Public Pool + Bitcoin node, that found the block. Some people watch the revolution. Others plug it in. image

I cannot explain in words how happy this makes me. Seeing a single person take the time to learn how mining works, purchase the miners, purchase the node, and take a risk increasing his energy bill for the shot at finding a block and doing just that. He spoke about taxes taking a large portion of his money when he cashes out. Tragedy that there isn’t a different way for him to make this happen, but nonetheless, happy for him. View quoted note →
