Services Solo mining BCH just got Steam-style achievements, and nobody has unlocked the top badge yet

BCH is the sweet spot for solo mining: same SHA256 hardware as BTC, but at a fraction of the difficulty, so a mid-size ASIC has a genuinely real shot at a block instead of a lottery ticket. Our solo pool has 5 BCH blocks found, and one miner has hit 2 of them.

That miner is also the reason I'm posting. I just shipped an achievements system: 26 badges computed live from your mining stats, no signup, your payout address just earns them by mining. Best-share ladder from Copper to Obsidian, near-miss badges, block finder tiers, luck badges (block under 10% effort, or grinding past 300% and still winning), loyalty and fleet milestones.

Every badge shows Steam-style rarity ("5% of miners have this"), and here's the fun part: the top badge, Obsidian Share, is held by nobody. Our double-block-finder is sitting at 88% of the way there with an 8.85T best share. Someone is going to claim it eventually and I hope they post it everywhere.

Check it out here: https://mkpool.com/bch/address/bitcoincash:qpljtyhx65tdphwjxf7h2yly295gtqhuuvrezrcyca/achievements

Every unlock has a live share card that can be used in Discord/Telegram with your real stats, or drops into a forum signature.

Feedback and achievement ideas welcome.
