A solo Bitcoin miner has achieved a remarkable feat by processing block number 903,883, earning a reward of 3.173 BTC, worth approximately $349,028. This victory is notable because the miner, who utilized Solo CK—a non-profit platform for solo mining—had a minuscule hash rate of just 2.3PH, which represents only 0.00026% of Bitcoin's total hash rate. Experts estimate that such small miners typically solve a block about once every eight years. Despite the significant odds against them, recent weeks have seen a few solo miners winning blocks, prompting questions about the viability of solo mining in an increasingly industrialized Bitcoin ecosystem.
