A Once-in-300-Years Event? Independent Solo Miner "Hits the Jackpot," Claims $220K Bitcoin Block Reward Alone
A solo Bitcoin miner with only 70 TH/s of hashrate has successfully mined block 944,306, earning the full 3.128 BTC block reward (approx. $222,000). This miner’s computing power represents just 0.000007% of the total network hashrate, making the probability of such an event roughly once every 300 years on average. The miner used CKpool’s solo mining service, which allows individual miners to work independently rather than in a pool, keeping the full reward minus a 2% fee. This is the 313th solo block mined via CKpool since 2014. Remarkably, this is the second such unlikely event within ten days, highlighting the lottery-like nature of solo mining—where small miners occasionally win big despite extremely low odds.
