Hashrates are as published by the miner, the pool operator or the press at the time; where a winner never published one, the hashrate and every field derived from it are null rather than guessed. Odds are recomputed uniformly from the network difficulty at that block height: expected_seconds_per_block = difficulty * 2**32 / hashrate_hs.",
 "inclusion": "Solo-mined Bitcoin blocks found by small or home miners on public solo pools. Rented-hashrate services (NiceHash EasyMining and similar) and industrial-scale wins are deliberately excluded. Coverage includes blocks no pool registry attributes, identified by auditing unattributed coinbases: where that inference rather than a miner's own declaration is the basis for an entry, the entry's note says so.",
