‘Very lucky’ solo miner solves Bitcoin block for $148K reward

>A solo Bitcoin miner with an average hashing power of just 10 TH/s (terahashes per second)

https://www.asicminervalue.com/

Or like 40 antminers at 2000 to 3000 dollars each.

It also uses like 20.000 watts while turned on.

So the idea that it’s some random dude at home running a miner is ridiculous.

Significant hashing power reading the article, not a backyard operation.

I tried solo GPU mining over the years without any luck, was fun however.

I’ve always fantasised about this, this son of a bitch actually did it.

tldr; A solo Bitcoin miner was rewarded for adding block 780,112 to Bitcoin’s blockchain. The miner used the Solo CK Pool mining service to establish a solo mining pool, where they produced a valid hash for the block and received a reward of 6.25 BTC and a fee reward of around 0.63 BTC. A miner of this size will solve a block on average about once every 10 months.

Lucky but not crazy lucky, the title makes it sound like he was mining using a Casio digital watch.

Kudos for him

Congrats to the minner!

Good for him/her – that’s like a lottery win right there!

Like real life Minecraft or getting a mining pet on osrs

Good for him

Couldn’t have happened at a better time

2nd one in less than a year.

Did it in his head or with an abacus?

Absolutely insane.. Nice hit!

My place would be a sauna if I try this

Not too long ago, maybe a year, I remember someone found a block using a handful of those old USB stick type miners

let’s do the maths here

They had a hashrate of 6.7 ph/s (6700 th/s)

At an average of 100 th/s ASIC, they would need 67 of them. Running at a minimum of 3kwh kwh it cost them $480 in electricity (assuming 5c kwh)

If you factor in the cost at a very generous $1000 each (they are more like 2k), they made a good profit but a huge risk. They got very lucky finding a block in 2 days

The article says that a hashrate of that size averages one every 10 months, so I don’t know how they would be profitable doing it if they weren’t lucky

This is what probability means. Even if the probability of it is 0.000001%, it’s never zero.

Smart Dude!

Man if only 😅

Lucky bastard. Good for him/her

Hate to see someone else living your dreams

Props to him he should go and buy a lottery ticket now

Holy genius he is!

Rigged

Wow isn’t this like the second time in the last few months that this has happened?

dude hit the jackpot. GG

Until today it always seems like a fantasy

This is winning the lottery, the Bitcoin way.

When random chance throws you a massive W.

Congrats
