Marathon Digital’s problem in mining a Bitcoin (BTC) block
As anticipated, Bitcoin mining company Marathon Digital (MARA) recently mined a Bitcoin block, height 809478, which was declared invalid according to reports from developers, miners and researchers.
Specifically, the anonymous Bitcoin expert, “0xB10C,” reported a “transaction ordering problem” on X, a confirmation also coming from CasaHODL co-founder Jameson Lopp.
