This post is few days old, but it still gets my Stacker News article of the month: "The Solo Beef Block: analyzing a mysetrious block and a secret mining pool?"
---> https://stacker.news/items/885434
This is the setup:
"First of all, this was no regular solo block (not that solo blocks are regular, sadly), as this one wasn't publicly claimed by any solo miners, as is customary. So far we have had a couple of Bitaxe blocks, the Apollo Bit fully self hosted block (own ASIC, own node, own pool) and also the unforgettable Telehash Block by the Bitcoin Park guys (historic moment!)."
This is the mystery:
The solo block "...follows the solo CK pool style of having 2 outputs, one for the miner's address and one with the 2% flat fee to a different address. But the address is definitely not the one used by CK Pool, and he would shortly after confirm on twitter that this block didn't originate from his solo pool."
The evidence and the answer ---> https://stacker.news/items/885434
