On Sunday, a solo miner successfully mined a Bitcoin block, earning a payout of 3.137 BTC, approximately $371,000 at that time. Operating through the Solo CK pool, the miner mined block 910,440, receiving the standard 3.125 BTC plus around 0.012 BTC in transaction fees, totaling $1,455 from 4,913 transactions. Despite the dominance of large industrial mining operations, smaller miners can occasionally achieve block rewards with efficient hardware. This year, several solo miners have claimed rewards, including one in February and another who earned $350,000 on July 4. Samuel Li, CTO of ASICKey, noted that success in solo mining relies on powerful hardware, although the odds remain slim. A miner with one petahash (PH/s) has only a 1 in 650,000 chance of solving a block every 10 minutes. As network difficulty rises, even established mining companies are diversifying into AI and high-performance computing to adapt to the competitive landscape.
