Удача на стороне: соло-майнер с 6 TH/s стал обладателем $264 558 за добытый блок биткоина Translation: Luck on his side: solo miner with 6 TH/s became the owner of $264,558 for the mined Bitcoin block

A solo miner with a hashrate of just 6 TH/s discovered block #924,569 in the network of the first cryptocurrency. Their reward amounted to 3.146 BTC ($264,558).

CKPool’s administrator, Kol Kolivas, described the miner as «incredibly lucky.» The likelihood of generating a block with such computing power is approximately 1 in 1.2 million per day.

According to Glassnode, the global Bitcoin hashrate (7 DMA) is around ~1.05 ZH/s, which exceeds the solo miner’s equipment by a factor of 263,750.

The transaction fees included in their block reward were 0.021 BTC ($1,802), roughly 0.7% of the total earnings. In November, the share of network fees in miners’ revenue fell to a record low of under 1%, the lowest in the past year. Almost all income is derived from the block reward of 3.125 BTC.

CKPool allows solo miners to take part in Bitcoin mining with the expectation of receiving the entire block reward if they successfully solve it. The platform charges a 2% fee.

The success of this «incredibly lucky» miner marks the 308th occurrence in CKPool’s history since 2014. The previous solo block was mined by a pool participant in September, earning 3.13 BTC ($347,980 at that time).

As a reminder, in October, a solo miner using the Public Pool platform found Bitcoin block #920,440. The user’s reward amounted to 3.141 BTC.
