./mining

Hashrate asmeditation.

Mostly BCH. Sometimes DOGE and LTC merged when the queue looks right. BTC block attempts when the profit pile and the maths agree, which is not the default setting.

Rigly Block Party

A block from last week.

The rig joined Rigly Block Party #28 and found Bitcoin block #955,703. Highlight, not the routine, but worth keeping the receipt.

On 27 June 2026, 113 miners pooled hashrate on ckpool for Block Party #28. Peak 165 PH/s. Best share 272.33 T. Team CDK took first place. My reward share landed around 60%. I will not pretend I predicted that.

Party #29

Party #29 came next. About $15k of hashrate at roughly one-in-six odds. We missed. Still worth showing up.

Lesson

Luck favors the prepared rig.

Rigly Block Party log

Weekly community solo mining on ckpool. Transparent odds, shared upside, and a log that shows every party.

Deprecated

Block block. Retired in 2026.

It queued batches, timed waves, and tracked reward attribution for NiceHash EasyMining. Then I stopped buying EasyMining, so the automation had nothing left to automate.

The marketplace is still fine. I buy hashrate orders there and point them at pools I can check. EasyMining and Team Gold are the parts I dropped, because you cannot audit those outcomes.

What it did

Queue batches

Stacked solo orders on NiceHash without babysitting the dashboard every hour.

Wave timing

Routed hashrate when queue depth, difficulty, and your own thresholds lined up.

Reward attribution

Told you which batch earned which block. No spreadsheet archaeology at 2 a.m.

Mining notes

Odds, patience, fan noise.

The routine

A hobby rig, not a datacenter.

Stubborn fan curves, warm office air, and mostly BCH through NiceHash solo pools. Mining as a background process, not a second job.

Profit pile

When the maths agrees.

DOGE and LTC merged when the queue looks right. BTC block hunts funded from accumulated profits. Variance with better logs.

Non-custodial

Your account, your keys.

Your NiceHash account, your orders, your reward addresses. Automation without handing over custody.

Current bias

Less spreadsheet. More blocks.
