Two points
  1. the chart doesn't show that your own miner found a block. It just shows that the pool found a block which you contributed hashrate to (ie. your miner had also been trying to solve it) and thus you will get reward distributions.
  2. If you did indeed solve the block, by sharing the blocks here everyone will know that your stackernews nym owns the destination bitcoin address, so you have reduced your privacy.
As @itsMoro shared below, you can check the solver in the "blocks found" list on the "Pool" stats page. Check if that matches your address. Then don't tell us, or lie.
make sense, thanks for the explanation. I was probably too exited to see those two blocks on my miner dashboard without really understanding how it works.

No worries! I would love to hit a block too! haha. Just for kicks.
