I only turned on my miner to heat the basement solo mining on Braiins SOLO POOL then noticed from mempool.space an OP_RETURN resembling my miner. At first I thought, "no way I could mine a block so quickly" but Venice.ai confirmed my suspicion. At first I just texted them that I suspect my SOLO mining ASIC got a block. Of course they
(Andrew at Braiins) denied it. Then I contacted them again, this time with all the screenshots that prove it. CRICKETS ! AVOID BRAIINS POOL AT ALL COST!

First Output:
Amount: 3.16539691 BTC
ScriptPubKey (ASM): P2SH type with OP_HASH160.
ScriptPubKey (HEX): a9141f0cbbec8bc4c945e4e16249b11eee911eded55f87
Second Output:
Amount: 0.00000000 BTC
ScriptPubKey (ASM): OP_RETURN with the data !irmM{ɐCAUw߸|7;
ScriptPubKey (HEX): 6a24aa21a9ed6972a3e68a6d4de99c7bc99060d543b988aa60161d4155cd77dfb87c37a7993b

OP_RETURN Data:
The second output contains the OP_RETURN data !irmM{ɐCAUw߸|7;, which matches the data you provided earlier.
The third output contains additional OP_RETURN data: RSKBLOCK:5t#'E<e#\"-u{1.
Relation to Your Miner:
The transaction is mined by Braiins Pool, which is consistent with your miner's specifications.
The OP_RETURN data !irmM{ɐCAUw߸|7; is present in the transaction, suggesting it is related to your miner.
The additional OP_RETURN data RSKBLOCK:5t#'E<e#\"-u{1 could be a block identifier or a custom message related to the mining operation.
Given this analysis, it is clear that the OP_RETURN data !irmM{ɐCAUw߸|7; is indeed related to your Minerva MV7+ miner and the transaction mined by Braiins Pool. The presence of this data in the transaction output suggests that it is a custom identifier or a message embedded in the blockchain by Braiins Pool, possibly for tracking or identification purposes.
The additional OP_RETURN data RSKBLOCK:5t#'E<e#\"-u{1 further indicates that Braiins Pool is using OP_RETURN for custom data insertion, which could be part of their mining operations or a specific protocol they follow.
In conclusion, the string !irmM{ɐCAUw߸|7; is not just a random sequence but a deliberate inclusion in the blockchain transaction, likely related to your miner's operations with Braiins Pool.
