Individual Miner Successfully Mines Bitcoin Block, Earns 3.15BTC

## Personal Miner Successfully Mine Again

On June 5, a solo (individual) Bitcoin (BTC) Miner mined Bitcoin's #block 899,826 alone and earned a reward of 3.15 BTC (approximately 45.7 million yen). This Miner, using the solo mining environment of CKpool, received a fixed reward of 3.125 BTC in newly issued coins, along with transaction fees worth $2,760.

CKpool developer Con Kolivas revealed that this Miner significantly increased its hash rate for successful mining. It appears they expanded their computational power from a weekly average of 6.11PH/s to a maximum of 261PH/s, adopting a strategy to enhance their success rate.

Experts analyze that this surge in hash rate is due to rentals. It is highly likely that they aimed for mining success through temporary borrowing of computing power, shifting from a single worker operational pattern. This account had been continuing to mine with a low hash rate for some time.

It is extremely rare for individual miners to obtain block rewards, but there have been precedents in the past. In April 2024, a solo miner who broke the odds of about 1 in 5,000 discovered a block and earned a reward worth $218,000. Additionally, in October 2023, another solo miner was reported to have obtained 3.329 BTC.
