A solo Bitcoin miner using Solo CKPool has mined block 943,411, securing a full block reward of 3.13904392 BTC. The payout consisted of Bitcoin’s standard 3.125 BTC block subsidy plus 0.01404392 BTC in transaction fees, totaling roughly $210,000 at the time of confirmation.
CKPool developer Con Kolivas said the miner was running about 230 terahashes per second and described the odds of a machine that size finding a block as roughly 1 in 28,000 per day. The block was the 312th solo block found through CKPool.
The win shows the lottery still pays out occasionally, but only rarely. Only around 20 solo-mined Bitcoin blocks were found over the past 12 months, with 62.96 BTC distributed in total and an average interval of 18.7 days between wins.
Large pools still dominate block production, but a solo operator can still capture the full reward when the probability breaks their way.
