$BTC A solo Bitcoin miner earns 350,000 dollars with 2.3 petahashes, which are "incredible odds"

A solo miner with only 2.3 petahashes successfully mined a Bitcoin block on Thursday, yielding him 349,028 dollars in rewards.

Another solo Bitcoin miner just hit the jackpot, mining a full Bitcoin block with relatively low-powered equipment and earning just under 350,000 dollars in Bitcoin.

Bitcoin historian Pete Rizzo said that the solo miner "overcame incredible odds" on Thursday by mining a full block. The manager of the Bitcoin mining pool CKpool, where the block was mined, congratulated the lucky miner and added that he only used 2.3 petahashes to solve it.

"A miner of this size has approximately a 1 in 2,800 chance of solving a block each day, or once every eight years on average," he said. (It's about a 0.004% chance).

According to Mempool Space, the miner solved block 903,883 and received a reward of 3.173 BTC, or 349,028 dollars.
