Lucky Solo Bitcoin Miner Lands $200K BTC Reward: But There’s a Catch (Flash News)
Bitcoin mining has long become a massive business niche in which the individual miner has been sidelined, but there are occasional exceptions. A single miner managed to mine block number 960804, which secured them the 3.125 BTC prize, worth roughly $200,000 at today’s prices.
Pseudonymous software developer at CKPool, Dr -ck, was among the first to congratulate the miner. However, they explained that the miner’s hashrate peaked at 100 PH, which is significantly higher than that of so-called hobby miners.
Consequently, Dr- ck determined that the miner in question had probably rented the equipment.
In addition, popular market observer going under the X moniker Bitcoin Archive described the miner as “not the average Joe,” but still admitted the substantial luck needed to succeed given the current miner environment.
