ChainCatcher report, according to U.Today, the Bitcoin network experienced a rare two-block reorganization last night. At height 941880, the network briefly split into two competing chains. AntPool mined block 941881, and ViaBTC subsequently mined block 941882 on the same chain; meanwhile, Foundry USA mined its own version of block 941881 and continued to mine its version of block 941882. After Foundry USA proceeded to mine blocks 941883, 941884, and 941885, the competing chain was abandoned, and the blocks from AntPool and ViaBTC were discarded as orphaned blocks. This reorganization was not an attack or malfunction, but a normal outcome of Bitcoin’s decentralized consensus mechanism. Single-block reorganizations occur regularly, but a two-block reorganization is rare, indicating that the tie between the two chains persisted for an entire block cycle. Foundry USA mined seven consecutive blocks from 941879 to 941885.
The Bitcoin network experiences a rare two-block reorganization, with Foundry USA winning the block race.
