💰 Solo Miner Hits the Jackpot: Wins $350K Bitcoin Block Reward!

A solo miner defied the odds and successfully mined a #Bitcoin block, earning nearly $350,000 in rewards!

🔍 Key Details:

Hashrate: 2.3 PH/s (~10 modern ASICs like Antminer S21+)

Probability: 1 in 2,800 (≈ once every 8 years)

Reward: 3.125 BTC ($343K) + 0.048 BTC ($5.2K) in fees

Mined via: CKPool (a solo mining pool where miners compete individually)

Why This is Rare:

Most miners join large pools to split rewards, but solo mining means winner takes all—despite extremely low odds.

*"This miner has been consistently running ~2.3 PH/s for a while."*

Comparison:

July 2024: Another solo miner with 3 TH/s hit a block (odds: 1 in 1.2 million ≈ once every 3,500 years!)
