A miraculous event in the world of Bitcoin mining! An extremely fortunate Solo Bitcoin Miner successfully solved block #924,569 and received a total reward of 3.146 BTC, valued at over $266,000 USD, despite using a minuscule hash rate of only 1.2 TH/s. This is negligible compared to the global mining industry, which operates at the Exahash (EH/s) level.
💎 Winning 1-in-1.2 Million Odds: Luck Over Statistics
This improbable event was revealed by Con Kolivas, the creator of CKpool, a pool dedicated to solo miners. He stated the miner was “incredibly lucky,” as statistical calculations show:
With a hash rate of 1.2 TH/s, a solo miner’s chance of finding a block is approximately 1 in 1.2 million blocks per day.
The successful block find awarded the miner the full block subsidy of 3.125 BTC plus 0.021 BTC in transaction fees, totaling 3.146 BTC.
🥇 2025: The Golden Year for Solo Miners
While Bitcoin mining is largely dominated by massive farms, 2025 has turned out to be a remarkable year for Solo Miners. A total of 13 blocks have been successfully mined by solo participants through CKpool this year, averaging more than one block per month.
Just last month, one miner collected a prize worth up to $347,455 USD from block #920,440.
From February to July, several other solo miners received the full block reward with only a few Petahashes (PH/s) of power.
This demonstrates that even though the statistical odds are profoundly low, "luck and statistics" occasionally favor the small-scale miners in the high-security network, underscoring the lottery-like allure of Bitcoin mining.
