A Solo Miner Earns $160K Mining a BTC Block
One miner operating within the network of BTC made a notable 6.31 Bitcoin (including fees) from block number 803,821 on August 19.
At the time of extraction, the user earned around $161,000, with the exchange rate taken into account.
With data from on-chain, it was obvious that the funds were already distributed into multiple wallets.
To congratulate the miner, Solo CK curator Con Kolivas stated that 10 Antminer S17 devices likely connected with a total hashrate of around 1 PH was used- a significant dip from the estimated EH of large miners.
Kolivas reminded that as the difficulty of 52.39 T, a miner of this size will only solve a single block about every seven years.
As per BTC.com, Solo CK solo miners have recorded 10 Bitcoin blocks mined this year and a total of 277 blocks in the history of the pool.
A certain miner achieved a notable feat on May 23, mining block number 790 958 with an estimated hashrate of 750 TH/s.
