On April 5, a solo miner with an equipment hashrate of 7 PH/s keyed block #837,814 into the blockchain of the first cryptocurrency. This was announced by CKPool pool administrator Con Kolivas.
This miner has been mining intermittently since the last pool restart and had accumulated about 1/20th of the shares required to solve a block on average. It is not clear they were definitely renting hashrate, but had a lot of hashrate nonetheless.
