Cryptocurrency miner mined a block of bitcoin and received $ 200,000

The solo miner managed to mine the bitcoin block BTC $65,822.42 Bitcoin -0.44% Market capitalization $1.3 trillion VOL. 24 hours $0.57 billion and received almost $ 200,000 for his work. Yesterday, on August 29, he added block #858,978 to the first cryptocurrency’s blockchain, earning 3,275 BTC ($ 199,101) in subsidies and commissions.

Viner, a user of the CKPool, has a rather impressive hashrate(a key indicator in cryptocurrency mining that determines the total computing power of the network or the number of hashes a device calculates per second for solo mining — ed.) — 38 PH/s, which allows him to mine blocks on average once every four months.

It is worth noting that CKPool combines the computing power of its customers, increasing the chances of successful mining, but only the user whose equipment directly solved the problem receives the entire reward.

This is already the 291st block mined by CKPool customers. The previous block was mined on July 24 by a user with a 3 TH/s hashrate who earned $ 211,972. Earlier, in April, other CKPool users also successfully mined blocks, earning significant rewards.
