A miner from Marathon Digital mined the wrong block at height #809,478 on the Bitcoin network. The developers reported that this was due to an issue with the transaction order.
The miner mined the wrong block of Bitcoin during an experiment aimed at optimizing the company’s operations. About this American mining company Marathon Digital reported on his Twitter.
The developers wrote that such experiments use a small percentage of the company’s hashrate and emphasized that they are not trying to change the operation of the network.
Company representatives called this an “unforeseen circumstance.”
As a result, the rest of the network rejected the incorrect block because it was trying to spend funds from a still pending transaction. The correct block #809,478 was mined by the Foundry USA pool.
According to analysts, the error occurred due to a problem with the order of transactions. Developer under the nickname “mononaut” believesthat it arose due to the re-sorting of transactions in increasing order of absolute commissions.
Bitcoin network is overloaded
It was recently revealed that hundreds of thousands of transactions on the Bitcoin network remain unconfirmed. James Check, lead analyst at Glassnode, noted that the Bitcoin mempool has not been released since mid-April, and demand for the blockchain space has grown sharply over the same period. According to him, a unique situation arose due to the so-called inscriptions.
