Block Party - Why we mine together
Let's talk about decentralized mining.
Every block party Is a dent in corporate mining
Bitcoin mining was supposed to be something anyone could do.
Plug in a machine, add your hash to the network, and you have a real, physical stake in who gets to build the next block. That promise is the whole reason Rigly exists - and it's under real pressure. A handful of mining pools now do most of the deciding for the entire network.
Rigly's answer isn't a white paper about decentralization; we’re not here to indoctrinate. Instead, we offer a standing weekly appointment: every Saturday, we stack small miners' hashrate together in CK Pool to take a real shot at finding a block together. We can do together something almost none of us could ever do alone. We call this social mining.
The Rigly Block party is a countable, weekly act of keeping mining power spread across many hands instead of a few corporate boardrooms.
Are you tired of seeing Foundry and Antpool win the majority of the blocks left to mine before 2040? Take action with us, where every TH counts in a weekly show of pleb strength.
If our pool finds a block, that's one block that didn't go to a mega-pool or an industrial mining farm.
We mined block 955,703 on June 27, 2026.
Together, we make a real dent in how concentrated Bitcoin mining has become. And it works precisely because it's a group effort. Solo mining is less a real option and more a lottery ticket with terrible odds.
Pooling changes the math entirely and doing that on purpose, on a schedule, with other plebs, is a fair way to give ordinary people an actual stake in securing the network. So every week, we pull together a bunch of anons and we roll the dice.
The reason people show up every week isn't math - it's a feeling. There's a specific kind of rush to watching the shared hashrate climb during a Block Party, knowing every home miner's little rig is stacked on top of everyone else's, all pointed at the same target. We’ve stacked our hashrate. Some even hook up small fleets or entire mining farms.
When the pool finds a block, it doesn't feel like a payout - it feels like winning a competition together. You're not a spectator in Bitcoin's story anymore. You're one of the plebs who showed up, plugged in, and made a ripple in a very big ocean. Multiply that ripple by everyone else in the party, and it stops feeling small.
It feels like proof that you're part of something that matters, every single week.
And the numbers back up exactly why that feeling is earned. Research shows just how lopsided the alternative is: at Bitcoin's current network hashrate of roughly ~965 EH/s, even a single top-of-the-line home rig (about 270 TH/s) has only about a 1.4% chance of finding a block on its own in a full year of nonstop mining. A more modest home miner, running around 1.2 TH/s, would expect to wait roughly 18,000 years for one. Put ten of those same machines together, and the odds of finding a block within a year jump to roughly 12%. That's the difference between a lottery and a real shot.
Meanwhile, Foundry USA, AntPool, ViaBTC, and F2Pool now control more than 70% of Bitcoin's entire network hashrate. That’s just four pools. In all of Bitcoin. Aren’t we bigger than that? Isn’t the power of Bitcoiners as individuals stronger than that of the companies with shareholders? As a community, can’t we do better than that? Bitcoin mining began on laptops. Do we really want blocks to go to the suit miners? Every pleb machine that joins the party is hashrate that isn't consolidated into those four names. Come mine with us.
We're all miners now
Every block the party finds is a literal dent in that concentration, and pooling is simply a fairer way to give ordinary people a real stake in the network.
You are in bitcoin's story
Joining the weekly Block Party feels like victory and belonging. You get to be a part of a group of plebs and home miners making a small, real dent together. We may be small, but we’re a ripple in a big ocean that adds up to something that matters.
The math is stark. A home miner's solo odds are nearly zero, four pools already control most of the network, and pooling hashrate is the only thing that moves the odds meaningfully in favor of the small miner.
We are, as a community, literal proof of strength in numbers. Not long ago, we made a goal of hitting 1 EH and we’re almost there.
