Cryptocurrency miner mines a block of bitcoin and receives $ 200,000 reward

A rare case has been recorded on the Bitcoin network BTC $68,288.97 Mezo Wrapped BTC 6.65% Market capitalization $37.37 million VOL. 24 hours $1.68 billion : a solo miner, having spent $ 75 to rent power, managed to find a block and receive a reward of more than 3.1 BTC, which is equivalent to about $ 200,000.

The miner used the Braiins marketplace to rent at least 1 PH/s. At the current level of hashrate, the probability of finding a block with such a capacity is about one in 1.1 million, which corresponds to about 21 years of mining.

Usually, most blocks are found in large pools with huge computing resources that ensure the stability and security of the network. For individual miners, the chance of receiving a reward remains minimal.

Similar cases have occurred before: in January, two solo miners received more than 3.1 BTC each, and in December, another earned about $ 282,000. This is happening against the backdrop of an increase in the network’s overall capacity: the average daily hashrate exceeded 1.1 zetahash, which is 61% more than a year ago.

Analysts note that such examples demonstrate the unpredictability of mining. Although this result remains an exception for most market participants, it confirms the possibility of individual success even in a system dominated by large pools.
