Rare Success for Solo Bitcoin Miner

A lone Bitcoin miner recently achieved a significant milestone by successfully processing a Bitcoin block and earning nearly $200,000. The miner, operating under the Solo CK Pool, processed block number 858,978, containing 2,391 transactions. Despite the average network hashrate being 665 EH/s, the Solo CK miner utilized 456/PH worth of hashrate. This success is noteworthy as large mining firms dominate the industry, making it rare for solo miners to validate blocks. The Solo CK miner has solved 14 blocks in the past year, earning 59.3 Bitcoin, equivalent to $3.5 million. This achievement is even more remarkable considering that solo miners have only successfully validated around 290 blocks out of the 859,000 produced since Bitcoin's inception. The most recent solo-mined block, 853,742, yielded a reward of approximately $210,000.
