This seems to happen way more than the odds should permit.

Looking at these numbers, it seems like we’re getting news of more than one block mined per month. That’s pretty big compared to the theoretical odds.

Yes. Seem to see news of solo mined blocks pretty often lately. Maybe just a lot more solo miners than I thought. When you think about it. If the odds were 1 in 82 years, you only need 1k solo miners at this level of hash to hit a solo block a month.

Nice spotting. Solo CKs are probably already hitting the thousands. They’re rocking about 0.2% of the hashrate.

Yes. I am starting to wonder about those odds.
