Bitcoin Solo Miner Bags $330,000 Reward by Solving Block

In a remarkable feat, a single Bitcoin miner has earned the entire $330,000 reward for solving a Bitcoin block. Despite record-high network difficulty at 126.98 trillion, the miner’s solo effort stood out. Mempool data reveals that they secured the prize through block number 899,826 and received a total of $327,625 in subsidy rewards along with approximately $2,761 in transaction fees. This rare achievement likely stemmed from the miner’s high-level hash rate, which they strategically increased to compete effectively. The developer behind solo.ckpool, Con Kolivas, confirmed this, stating that based on Bitcoin’s current hash rate, a single miner might be renting additional hash power for higher chances of winning the block reward.
