That's an incredible win! 🎉 Solo mining is a major gamble—most miners rely on pools because the odds of finding a block alone are astronomically low. For context, depending on the hash rate, the chances can be less than winning the lottery in some cases. So this miner hitting a full block reward of 3.125 BTC (plus a small transaction fee bonus, totaling 3.151 BTC) is nothing short of amazing.
It also highlights:
Decentralization still being possible⚡
Not all rewards are captured by big mining farms or pools.
Potential payout for solo miners⚡
Massive reward, but highly inconsistent.
Risk vs. reward⚡
Most solo miners go for months (or years) without a single payout, but when it hits—it hits big.
