The miner processed a block containing 3071 transactions. As a result, the total income amounted to 3.158 BTC.
The solo miner worked independently, without the involvement of a large mining company. However, the equipment used remains unknown.
According to data from the Bits.media service, on February 12, the average hashing rate of the Bitcoin network was 706.4 exahashes per second (EH/s). With this indicator, the chances of individual miners adding a block to the blockchain are extremely low. Most Bitcoin blocks are generated by large mining companies with expensive equipment. However, in rare cases, solo miners can get lucky.
In September of last year, a solo miner also received a reward of 3.169 BTC for successfully mining a Bitcoin block. At that time, these coins were valued at $181,147. In August, an independent miner was able to earn 3.27 BTC amounting to $199,094.

1.Hardware acceleration. The project involves technologies such as RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access), InfiniBand, and SDN (Software-Defined Networking). This enables ultra-fast data transfer and significantly reduces network response time. Multi-executor model. It allows for the parallel processing of a large number of transactions. Essentially, this is horizontal scaling, where the load is distributed among several executors.
Investors should consider Solayer over Solana due to its groundbreaking advantages in both scalability and reliability: Unprecedented transaction throughput: Solayerâs infrastructure supports millions of transactions per second (TPS), offering an exponential leap over Solanaâs capabilities. This means Solayer can easily handle the large transaction volumes of future decentralized applications, providing a platform whose growth is not hampered by network bottlenecks. Zero downtime commitment: Solana has been criticized for multiple network outages where the blockchain stops, impacting transactions and user trust. However, Solayer introduces a robust shared validator network with dynamic resource allocation, ensuring there is no single point of failure. This significantly reduces, if not eliminates, the risk of network-wide outages, offering investors a more stable investment environment. When you invest in Solayer, youâre not just buying a blockchain; youâre buying a blockchain. Youâre investing in a platform designed to scale without limits, immune to the failures that have historically plagued its competitors. Solayer is directly attacking Solanaâs Achilles heel â network stability and scalability â positioning itself as the next big player in blockchain. $LAYER #BinanceAlphaAlert #BTCNextATH? $SOL

Meta: Iranian Hackers Tried to Hack WhatsApp of Trump and Biden Officials
Meta reports new possible attempts to hack WhatsApp accounts of officials in the administration of US President Donald Trump and former President Joe Biden.
A blog post from the company, which owns social media sites Facebook and Instagram and the messaging app WhatsApp, described the attempt as âa small series of possible social engineering attacks on WhatsApp.â The hackers attempted to impersonate technical support for AOL, Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft.
The company suspended the accounts after users reported suspicious activity and saw no evidence that the targeted WhatsApp accounts had been hacked.
Meta attributed the activity to the hacker group APT42, which is believed to be linked to the Iranian militaryâs intelligence unit and is known for installing surveillance software on its victimsâ mobile phones. According to researchers tracking the group, the software allows them to record calls, steal text messages, and silently turn on cameras and microphones.
The company linked the Iranian hacking group to attempts to hack US presidential campaigns ahead of the US presidential election. Microsoft and Google also reported the same earlier this month.
The Meta blog does not name the people who were targeted. But it says the hackers "appear to have targeted political, diplomatic, business and public figures, including those associated with the Trump administration #MicroStrategyAcquiresBTC #binance $TRUMP

Hackers stole 143 ETH using transaction simulation .
Scam Sniffer experts have reported a new tactic by attackers who steal cryptocurrencies by simulating fake transactions. In one attack alone, hackers stole 143.45 ETH (around $460,000) in 30 seconds.
Some Web3 wallets provide users with a feature to preview the transaction result before signing it. This is intended to increase transparency by allowing users to check the amount credited, the fee, and other data on the blockchain.
Fraudsters exploit the vulnerability of this mechanism. They lure victims to a malicious site offering to receive a small amount of Ethereum. The user has access to a preview of the hallmark transaction.
However, the time delay between the simulation and the execution of the transfer allows attackers to change the state of the contract in the chain. If the user signs the transaction, the hackers will empty their wallet.
Experts recommend that Web3 wallet developers reduce the frequency of simulation updates to match the block creation time, and force simulation results to update before critical operations, warning users of the risk.
Recall that at the end of 2024, Scam Sniffer specialists uncovered a fraudulent cryptocurrency theft scheme using fake influencers and malicious Telegram bots. #binance #News $BNB $ETH
In 2024, hackers from North Korea stole cryptocurrency assets worth approximately $659 million.
This is stated in joint statements by South Korea, the United States and Japan, Yonhap reports.
Last year, hackers from the DPRK stole $235 million from the Indian bitcoin exchange WazirX and $50 million from the Radiant Capital platform. In addition, cybercriminals stole about $374.13 million from crypto exchanges DMM Bitcoin, Upbit and Rain Management, the statement says.
South Korea, the United States, and Japan have designated North Korea-linked hacker groups, including Lazarus Group, for sanctions.
This is the first public statement in which the three countries have jointly identified cryptocurrency thefts linked to North Korea and their targets, the report said.
The statement noted that Pyongyang used âwell-hiddenâ attacks that eventually deploy malware, demonstrating âa pattern of malicious behavior in cyberspace by conducting multiple cybercriminal campaignsâ to steal crypto assets.
âOur three governments are working together to prevent thefts, especially from the private sector, by the DPRK and to recover stolen funds, with the ultimate goal of denying North "Korea is making illegal profits from its illegal weapons of mass destruction programs," the statement said.
The countries also stressed that North Koreaâs cyber program poses a significant threat to the integrity and stability of the international financial system.
Russian Hacker Stole Record Amount of Bitcoin. đź
Last year, Lichtenstein pleaded guilty to charges related to the 2016 hack of cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex and the theft of nearly 120,000 bitcoins.
At that time, the amount stolen was estimated at $71 million, but then, given the sharp rise in the price of Bitcoin, it increased to $4.5 billion. At the current rate, this is more than $10 billion.
The assets seized in the case were the largest seizure in the history of the U.S. Department of Justice, according to Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco.
The defendant expressed remorse for his actions and said he hoped to use his skills in the fight against cybercrime after serving his sentence.
According to court documents, the criminal used advanced hacking tools to hack the Bitfinex exchange.
Some of the money was spent on various purchases, including a $500 Walmart gift card. Purchases made with the card were instrumental in tracking the criminals, according to court documents. $BTC $BNB
