"Small Power Bitcoin Award: Won 265 Thousand Dollars"

As Bitcoin prices continue to fluctuate and interest from investors worldwide grows, a special event on the Bitcoin network has caught attention. On Friday, a miner operating with a computing power of only 6 terahash/second (TH/s) managed to solve a block through solo mining. This achievement has rewarded the miner with a total of 3.146 Bitcoin. According to current prices, this reward is worth approximately 265 thousand dollars.

It was noted that the miner possessed only 0.0000007% of the network's total power, which is measured in exahash (EH/s), the standard unit of measurement in the sector. In October, the average power on the Bitcoin network reached 855.7 EH/s. In this context, the founder of CKpool, Con Kolivas, pointed out that the miner's chance of solving a block in a day was 1 in 180 million, highlighting how exceptional this event was.

The block, recorded as the 308th solo block solved with CKpool software, was the first solo mining success in about three months. Such lucky examples of solo mining are rarely seen in Bitcoin history. For instance, in 2022, a miner found a block with 126 TH/s at a network power of 170 EH/s, and the probability of this happening was determined to be 1 in 1.3 million.

CKpool is an anonymous solo Bitcoin mining pool that has been in operation since 2014. Miners who manage to solve a block can claim the entire reward with a 2% cut on this platform accessed at solo.ckpool.org. This feature has made the pool a popular choice among many small miners who wish to try their luck, even with low power. This latest example once again proved that, despite the intense competition on the Bitcoin network, luck can still favor those with small devices.
