A rare two-block reorganization occurred in the Bitcoin network, FoundryUSA won the battle for blocks
According to U.Today, the Bitcoin network experienced a rare two-block reorganization last night. At height of 941880, the network briefly split into two competing chains. AntPool dug up block 941881, and ViaBTC then dug up block 941882 on the same chain; at the same time, FoundryUSA dug up its version of block 941881, and continued to dig up its version of block 941882. When FoundryUSA continued to dig blocks 941883, 941884 and 941885, the competition chain was broken and the blocks of AntPool and ViaBTC were discarded as orphan blocks.<br />
This reorganization is not an attack or failure, but the result of the normal operation of Bitcoin's decentralized consensus mechanism. Single block reorganizations occur from time to time, but two-block reorganizations are rare, which means that the draw between the two chains lasts for an entire block cycle. FoundryUSA dug out seven blocks in succession from blocks 941879 to 941885.
