Rigly Block Party 28 - Block #955,703

Most weeks I mine BCH through NiceHash and do not think about Bitcoin blocks. BTC attempts come from the profit pile, when the maths agrees. Rigly Block Party #28 was one of those weeks where the maths did agree — and then we actually found the block.

Block Party #28 — block #955,703

On 27 June 2026, Rigly Block Party #28 mined Bitcoin block #955,703 on ckpool. One hundred and thirteen miners joined. Peak hashrate hit 165 PH/s. Best share: 272.33 T. Team CDK — my team — took first place; TEAM SHAUN finished second.

My share of the reward came out around 60%. I will not pretend I predicted that. Solo mining is variance — a block still requires the network to accept your share at the right moment. Party #28 did.

Paying it forward — Block Party #29

The following week we pushed about $15,000 USD of hashrate into Block Party #29. Estimated odds were roughly one in six. That is a real shot. We did not land the block.

We knew the odds going in. We did it anyway. Party #28 had been unusually good, and pushing hashrate into the next party felt like the obvious way to pay it forward — give the pool a better chance and let the community share in whatever came back. Nothing came back this time. That is mining.

What I take from it

Block #955,703 is the highlight. It is not the routine. Most parties end without a block. You size your orders, you watch the log, you go to bed anyway.
