Solo Bitcoin Miner Solves Block 910440, Secures Over $362,000
A solo miner successfully solved block 910440 on the Bitcoin network, earning 3.137 BTC, valued at over $362,000. This achievement occurred through CKpool, which enables individual miners to contribute hash power without joining a formal pool.
Key details include:
- The miner operated at approximately 9 petahashes per second.
- There was a one-in-800 chance of solving a block daily.
- This event marks only the 305th solo block solved since CKpool's launch in August 2014.
- Solo mining allows miners to keep the entire reward but has lower odds compared to pooled mining.
- Bitcoin's network difficulty has increased significantly due to high global hash rates.
- As of the win, Bitcoin traded near $115,000, down 3% in the last 24 hours amid macroeconomic considerations.
