Wednesday April 29th was a day Sidney Laurvik will never forget. 

He didn’t go to the office that day.

His daughter was home sick, so he stayed home with her.

Between constant travel and running Metered Mining, a hosted bitcoin mining company, he’d barely had a moment to breathe. 

A slow daddy-daughter day was exactly what he needed.

They grabbed lunch and caught a movie.

Sidney wanted to be fully present, so he never once checked his phone.

A real tech detox.

On the drive home, they had to stop at a train crossing. While they waited for it to pass, he pulled out his phone to catch up on the day. 

He opened X.

And that’s when he saw it. 

Two bitcoin blocks had been found by solo miners that day. One of them on Braiins Solo pool.

No way.

He opened the post and started reading the replies. Someone mentioned the block had been found by a miner running 7 PH/s.

Sidney froze.

He had 7 PH/s pointed at Braiins Solo. Like every solo miner does when a block hits, he went straight to his wallet.

And there it was.

🟧 3.11 BTC.

He'd found block # 947,128.

It hit him all at once. He pounded the roof of his truck. 

His daughter asked what’s going, and he told her: he'd done it.

He’d finally achieved every miner’s dream. He mined a solo block.

For a moment, the win was just theirs. 

Then came the question. 

Do you keep something like this private, and celebrate with your wife and daughter? Or share it, and celebrate with the whole bitcoin mining community?

He figured going public would push more people to try. Proof that a real person, with a face and a name, can solo mine a block.

That evening, Sidney shared the big news on X.

The winning machine: an S19J XP running Braiins OS, pointed at Braiins Solo pool. One of his own fleet, running at Metered Mining since the start of 2026.

Here’s all stats for all you mining nerds out there:
• Block # 947,128
• Started in early 2026 with a couple of machines
• 2–3 months running at full hashrate
• 7 PH/s pointed at Braiins Solo
• Fee: 0.5% (CKPool open-source contribution)
• ~3.11 BTC block reward after fees
• A little over $12,000 in 2026 electrical costs up to that point

Solo mining is a long shot.

But somebody finds every block.

This time, it was Sidney Laurvik.

Next time, it could be you.

Congratulations Sidney!
Your trophy is on its way.

The new Forge miners are coming.

But good things take time, so we're giving away free hashrate to fill the wait.

Post your best Bitcoin or mining meme in the replies.

We'll pick our favorite and hand the winner a $100 hashrate boost.

Closes in three days.

Show us what you've got 👀

ACQUISITION ANNOUNCEMENT🟢

Braiins just acquired @CAMMSCapital, a CFTC-registered commodity asset management firm.

One of the first times a Bitcoin-native company has done this.

CAMMS = COMMODITY SPECIALISTS

• Initially built inside ETG, a global commodity conglomerate
• 75+ combined years of commodity expertise on the team
• Ongoing ETG research partnership for proprietary market intelligence

BITCOIN AS A COMMODITY

1️⃣ Bitcoin, hashrate & energy = digital commodities
2️⃣ Managing Bitcoin like a commodity = edge

The financial tools built for oil, gas, and grain price risk were designed for exactly the kind of volatility Bitcoin exhibits. We haven't found them applied to Bitcoin the way we'd want. So we've decided to build them.

BUILDING TOGETHER

• Braiins brings 15+ years of operational experience in Bitcoin mining
• CAMMS brings decades of commodity risk management
• Together: commodity-grade tools applied to Bitcoin and energy markets

Bear markets are build markets.
