A solo Bitcoin miner earned 3.146 BTC worth $266,000 with a computing power of only 1.2 TH\/s, beating massive odds.<\/p>\n
A solo Bitcoin miner hit the jackpot on Friday, earning 3.146 BTC, worth roughly $266,000, after solving block 924,569 with only a tiny fraction of the computational power typically needed to win a block reward.<\/p>\n
The miner, who is believed to be operating a hobby-grade machine, struck gold with a hash rate of roughly 1.2 terahashes per second (TH\/s), which is a speck of dust in an industry dominated by industrial-scale operations producing exahashes (one quintillion hashes per second).<\/p>\n
CKpool creator Con Kolivas announced the win on X, congratulating the \u201cextremely lucky\u201d miner and noting just how improbable the event was. He estimated that the odds translate to about 1.2 million to one per day at the miner\u2019s reported hash rate. <\/p>\n
