Solo lucky finds
In solo the miner hunts a block alone. If the ASIC finds the right hash, the whole reward is theirs. Tap a card to open the block in an explorer.

Short pieces on solo, pools and a first plan.
Who closed a solo block: the mempool tape
The news page lists real Solo CK blocks. Height, reward, address. Hashrate comes from CKPool’s public stats.
