A lone miner has struck gold in the Bitcoin world! According to data from Mempool, a Bitcoin blockchain explorer, a solo miner successfully mined block 910,440 around 19:19 Korean time on August 17th. This impressive feat earned them a reward of 3.1 BTC, currently valued at approximately $370,000 USD. Solo mining, a challenging endeavor, involves an individual competing against large mining pools with significant computational power. This successful solo block highlights the possibility, albeit rare, for independent miners to still find success on the Bitcoin network. The reward includes the block subsidy (6.25 BTC before the halving, currently 3.125 BTC after the recent halving event) and any transaction fees included in the block. This victory emphasizes the decentralized nature of Bitcoin and the potential for anyone to participate in securing the network. ```
