🧍♂️💥 Solo Against the System: A Miner with a 'Calculator' Mined a BTC Block Worth $349K
While Bitcoin mining giants like Riot and MARA are reducing their activity due to the heat and outrageous rates in Texas, one humble solo miner at 2.3 PH/s achieved the impossible: mined block #903883 of the BTC network and received a reward of $349,028.
Chance? 1 in 375,000. Statistics say: this happens once every 8 years. And the market - it's pure Proof of Work magic + a belief in luck.
⚡️Rumor has it, old ASICs were used. No data centers, just willpower, electricity, and a lot of patience. For comparison: to consistently mine 1 BTC block per month, about 166,000 TH/s is needed. That's nearly 500 Antminer S21 Hydro. And the cost is in the millions.
Meanwhile, BTC continues to inspire and amaze. This is already the third case in 2025 where individuals hit the jackpot, outplaying industrial giants.
🙌 The conclusion is simple: Bitcoin is not just about hash rate and money - but also about chance, character, and a bit of madness.
