The solo miner netted around $200,000 in rewards for validating block 841,286.
A single Bitcoin miner has defied the odds by solving a Bitcoin block alone, netting them the full 3.125 Bitcoin (BTC) block reward.
On April 29, software engineer and administrator from the solo mining pool ckpool, Con Kolivas, posted to X that a miner had solved the 282nd solo block in Bitcoin’s history.
He added that the solo miner had a large hash rate of around 120PH (peta hashes) at the time, equivalent to around 0.12 EH (exa hashes), with an average of around 12PH over a week which is roughly 0.02% of the total network hash rate.
