Crypto Industry News:
Marathon Digital is a BTC mining company. It announced that it had mined an invalid Bitcoin block on Wednesday, September 27. Many Bitcoin developers identified the invalid block using their own BTC nodes. Marathon confirmed that he was responsible for mining the damaged Bitcoin. After the incident, the company's shares (listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange) dropped by 2.9 percent.
A corrupt Bitcoin is one that violates the consensus rules established in the BTC Whitepaper by Satoshi Nakamoto. Network nodes reject such a block. An invalid Bitcoin block occurs when it contains a double-spend transaction or exceeds the Bitcoin block size limit.
Marathon did not specify why the block mined by the company is invalid, although some observers say it is due to an issue with the order of transactions. It is worth adding that the company's spokesman, in response to an inquiry from Decrypt reporters, confirmed that the company had never made such a mistake before, calling it an "anomaly".
