Weird Discovery:
I was working on my https://bitcoinflow.niot.space explorer and wanted to add an example for a Coinbase transaction.
I found this recent article about the lucky solo-miner of block 943411: https://bitcoinfoundation.org/news/bitcoin/solo-miner-one-block
It had a link to a previous lucky solo-miner, a week earlier, of block 938092, which I also loaded to the explorer.
Then I noticed that their second output goes to the same transaction! Which has another "solo-miner" input from less than a week later.
Look at inputs 1-3 of the following tx: https://mempool.space/tx/bd0c2d021bc9408948569fb8b02340a1adc4db7f196fcde3f2b694286085f2f6
They all come from a "solo-miner".
The odds that the same solo-miner found 3 blocks within 2 weeks are astronomically low, right?
So it's either not really a solo-miner, or different solo-miners that for some reason decided to give some of their profit to the same entity.
Or I'm missing something?
