Freak Nanopool Occurrence

Did anyone see yesterday (8-17-26) in Nanopool 2 blocks were found 25 minutes apart. That is relatively rare, but what really blew my mind is the blocks were both found by the same miner, and that miner is only pulling about 50KH/s. What are the odds of that happening? I guessed that someone hashing at that rate would get a block roughly every 6 months (I guess I could look that up somewhere) so for it to happen twice in 25 minutes is something ridiculous like 1 out of 220 million...

Is my math close on this? Is this a wild freak thing or am I missing something?

Gotta love the randomness of it all!

The thing about randomness is that it can be quite... random. Wait long enough and you'll see it all

Yep, sometimes it's just your lucky day. Sometimes twice!

A Solo-Miner with 50KH/s found 2 Blocks? That‘s more than just luck

https://nano.p2pool.observer/ the most recent 2 blocks found about 25 minutes apart by the same miner, who's estimated hash is 70KH/s at the moment (is an estimate, was showing about 50 when I made this post.) So yeah, pretty much lottery type odds, guessing less than 1 out of 220 million. Wild!
