A Bitcoin Miner Solved a Block Alone

A lone Bitcoin miner triumphed over the odds and solved a block by themselves, earning the full reward of 3.125 Bitcoin, or roughly $195,000. In an April 28 X post, Con Kolivas, the admin of the solo mining pool ckpool, announced that a miner had cracked the 282nd solo block in history. Kolivas noted that the single miner’s hash rate, or around 0.02% of the entire Bitcoin hash rate, was approximately 120 petahashes per second, with an average of about 12PH/s over the course of a week.
