Solo Satoshi said on Nov. 5, 2026, that a customer’s NerdQAxe++ Rev 6 had found Bitcoin block 974238. The machine was using a shared-reward Braiins pool, so the announcement does not show that its owner received the full block reward. The block is not in Soloblocks.io’s true-solo dataset.
Soloblocks.io recorded 36 solo-style blocks from Feb. 11 through Nov. 7, 2026, with gross rewards ranging from 3.1268 BTC to 3.1968 BTC. Pool arrangements can reduce what a finder receives, and some recorded operations were small farms rather than hobbyists using a single machine.
