Solo Bitcoin Miners Hit 22 Blocks in 12 Months; Another Wins $300K
According to CryptoSlate, solo Bitcoin (BTC) miners continue to secure full block rewards despite the dominance of large-scale mining operations. On January 13, one solo miner claimed 3.125 BTC plus fees, worth approximately $300,000. While the odds are statistically low due to the network's high hashrate, solo wins occur regularly. Data indicates that 22 verified solo blocks have been mined in the past 12 months, averaging one win every 15.6 days. Services like Solo CKPool facilitate solo mining by coordinating individual miners without reward splitting, while platforms like Public Pool in the Umbrel ecosystem allow miners to run their own solo pools. These models enable miners to receive the entire block reward upon a successful find.
