The Block-Fund Register: Every Documented Solo-Mining Success of Small Bitcoin Miners
Share
What this is about
This register collects verified instances where small open-source solo miners – Bitaxe, NerdQAxe++, and similar home devices – have found a full Bitcoin block. Each entry lists the block height, time, reported device, and reward. Block, reward, and pool are verified on-chain; the specific device is based on operator and community information. In 2025 alone, over 22 solo blocks were found by small miners; finds continue in 2026. We keep this register updated and label each source so you can verify everything yourself.
Transparency Notice & Methodology (As of: June 13, 2026)
Inclusion criterion: Block height publicly verifiable + credible device attribution
On-chain verified per entry: Block, paid out reward, pool used
Not readable from the blockchain: the specific device model (= operator statement)
Typical reward: 3.125 BTC + transaction fees (exchange rate dependent)
Verification tool: enter each block height on mempool.space
Network June 2026: approx. 875–950 EH/s, Difficulty ~139 Bio. (recently falling)
This register is a living document and will be updated with new finds.
Which small solo miners have demonstrably found a Bitcoin block?
The following table is the core of this register. It lists documented finds from open-source home hardware in chronological order. Euro and dollar values are rough conversions at the time of the find and fluctuate with the exchange rate. Verify each line yourself by entering the block height into a block explorer.
