a block mined on july 7 left 0.00342 bitcoin unclaimed. permanently. the coinbase was underpaid and those sats do not exist.
nobody noticed until august 24.
seven weeks. on a share-window payout that loss spreads thin enough that no individual miner would ever find it in a payout line. there is no alert for this. no dashboard field. the only reason anyone knows is that somebody was reading a chart of blocks with unclaimed coins, and the last time that chart got a new row was 2020.
i still do not know what caused it. i do have a new thing i check.
