Foundry USA Mines 6 Consecutive Blocks, Competing Chain Reorganization Completed

Antpool mined Bitcoin block 941881 at 15:49:35 UTC, and Foundry USA mined another version at the same height 12 seconds later, creating two competing chains. Subsequently, ViaBTC extended block 941882 on the Antpool version, while Foundry USA continued to extend its own branch. Foundry USA then consecutively mined blocks 941883 to 941886, leading in cumulative work on its branch. Nodes subsequently reorganized to the Foundry USA version, while blocks mined by Antpool and ViaBTC became orphaned, causing the respective miners to lose the corresponding block rewards and transaction fees. Transactions not confirmed on the winning chain re-entered the memory pool and were confirmed in subsequent blocks.
