The solo miner who hit the jackpot came back with the receipts.
It was one of his six NerdQaxe++, connected to an Umbrel running Public Pool + Bitcoin node, that found the block.
Some people watch the revolution. Others plug it in.

"I manage to do it. I fucking manage to do the god damn impossible. I got a mother fucking block. Everyone says its hard. Your wasting money. You’ll never find one. You have to get at least a few PT to have any chance. Well fuck those guys."

This is true decentralization... 🤙
I cannot explain in words how happy this makes me.
Seeing a single person take the time to learn how mining works, purchase the miners, purchase the node, and take a risk increasing his energy bill for the shot at finding a block and doing just that.
He spoke about taxes taking a large portion of his money when he cashes out. Tragedy that there isn’t a different way for him to make this happen, but nonetheless, happy for him.
