A small-scale solo Bitcoin miner with only 6 TH/s won a $265,000 block reward, beating 1-in-180-million odds.Summary
An extremely small-scale solo Bitcoin miner, operating at just six terahashes per second (TH/s), successfully mined a Bitcoin block on Friday, earning 3.146 BTC plus fees, valued at nearly $265,000. This achievement is remarkable given the network's massive hashpower, as CKpool creator Con Kolivas noted that a miner of this size has only a 1-in-180-million chance of solving a block daily. This was the 308th solo block mined using CKpool software, which allows individual miners to keep the full reward minus a 2% fee if they solve a block. The event is contrasted with a 2022 instance where a miner with 126 TH/s beat 1-in-1.3 million odds.
