Block number 881,423 of Bitcoin was undermined by an open pool with a Mini Asic of the Apollo brand, as cryptooticias reported.
A more detailed analysis of the block, specifically from its coinbase label, discovers that the miner in question It is a non -profit foundation called 256 Foundationwhich enabled a mining pool through Apollo OS 2.0 (the Operating System of the Mini Asic), allowing other users to contribute hashrate to their cause.
According to another Bitcoin mining medium“It is the first time that there is a collection of funds through Bitcoin hashrate, raising 3,146 BTC in rewards for a value of approximately 330,300 dollars.”
The new case for the use of Bitcoin mining consists, therefore, in the community contribution of hashrate for help finance non -profit organizations and, potentially, isolated miners They believe their own mining pools.
This case of use for Bitcoin mining does not act as guaranteed financing, as direct transfers do. Rather, it serves as an opportunity to raise funds. Even being a collaborative initiative, nothing guaranteed that the Hashrate contributed to the pool of 256 Foundation It was able to undermine a block.
However, one of the miners who collaborated with the pool generated, with some luck, the Nance correctand the Foundation obtained the subsidy of block 881423. In a nutshell, the Nance is the number that solves the cryptographic puzzle that ensures the Bitcoin network.
One of the founders From 256 Foundation shared his impressions about the Mining milestone in the Bitcoin network.
The event lasted almost 10 hours and at one point there were> 1.12 eh/s of ~ 350 different entities. The moment the block was found, there were ~ 881 pH/s pointing to our pool. The winning nance came from one of the miners of @megawatthq ”.

Likewise, the co -founder explained what are the objectives of the Foundation, which is the first registered to use Hashrate contribution as a form of financing. “The mission of the 256 Foundation is simple: dismantling the patented mining empire to make Bitcoin and the technology of freedom accessible to all. Our Opera Foundation with a more traditional rewards model, ”he said.
