Yah an Apollo node reported the block and it had a diff of 393T.  393,692,033,929,762 to be precise.
https://bitaps.com/888737
 What is not known is what miner was used - the one in the Apollo (at most a couple Th) or did the winner point a buttload of rental hash at it?

The block was found using an S19K 120Th miner, which was underclocked to 100TH at the time. I don't know if I would call it a small farm, but it consists of 10TH of various Apollo miners and one S19Kpro. I mine for the love of the game and heat in the cold months.  I never thought I'd hit a block.

The miner that solved the block was an SK19Pro running Brains OS underclocked to 2250 watts, 100TH. I run it at 1250 watts during the day at 1250 watts / 60TH to keep the noise down. If the complete log is helpful, just let me know.

How long has the S19 been running?

The S19Kpro is about 2 months old. I picked up the Apollo Full Node in 2021 and added the Apollo BTC and Apollo II Standard over the years. I wish I had my total shares submitted number over all those years, but I lost the logs when I updated to the newer Apollo OS.

Hello, huge congratulations on the block sir, well done.

Do you ever look into the ckpool.log file, if so what is it reporting under Diff, it will be beside hash rate per min, 5 min, 1h etc.

What is it showing for shares per second for say 1hour.
How many node connections would you normally have and do you limit the number.

Save using cron jobs to stop mining during peak electricity rates, my Apollo node has all the default settings, and sits at 63 of 64 connections.

Here is a bit more of the ckpool.log I already shared with the stats you requested.

Congrats just found out on X that you posted here!

If you can share your bitcoind debug.log would be super helpful for us, and any other info like network setup (wifi/ethernet broadband speed general geo area)

I salute you, now make sure you secure that stack 🫡
