    On August 18, a solo miner managed to unravel block 803,821, securing a exceptional 6.25 Bitcoin block reward valued at $160,000. This is a really uncommon occasion as lone miners have a decrease likelihood of mining a block as a result of improve in mining issue and this solo miner turned the 277th solo miner in bitcoin’s historical past to realize this. 

    Solo Bitcoin Miner Makes History

    The solo miner was in a position to pull off this exceptional achievement utilizing the Solo CKpool mining service. The miner recognized with the tag bc1q2za4ejga366sn288273pty8trasn5zs4y9hqg6 used an S17 Bitcoin Miner with a hash energy of roughly 1 PetaHash which is manner lesser than most BTC mining entities, as was speculated by Con Kolivas, the administrator of Solo CKpool.

    Congratulations to miner bc1q2za4ejga366sn288273pty8trasn5zs4y9hqg6 with ~1PH of hashrate at fixing the 277th solo block at https://t.co/UWgBvLkDqc! A miner of this dimension would solely resolve a block solo on common as soon as each 7 years at present diffhttps://t.co/cNgm1KUqvw

    — Dr. Con Kolivas (@ckpooldev) August 19, 2023

    Perhaps probably the most fascinating factor about this growth is that the miner achieved this exceptional reward when mining issue was virtually at an all-time excessive of 52.39.

    Normally, mining Bitcoin with simply 1 PetaHash appears inconceivable in comparison with different BTC solo miners that had been in a position to pull this off prior to now who had hash charge capability in exa-hashes.

    It is sort of inconceivable for a solo miner to unravel a whole block on their very own, as a result of elevated recognition of BTC mining and the persistent rise within the community hash charge and highly effective mining tools. 

    BTC miners are required to enter computational energy to unravel and add the following Bitcoin block to the community, which creates a legitimate block hash whereas utilizing the computational energy of a number of mining rigs.

    However, because the miner was utilizing the Solo CKpool, it permits miners with outdated or inefficient tools to pool their mining energy collectively, rising their probabilities of fixing a block, which is what occurred right here. In their case, this miner was in a position to retain 98% of the reward.

    The miner now joins two different solo miners who’ve been in a position to obtain this spectacular feat in March and June this 12 months utilizing a Solo CKpool and is the third time that is taking place thus far in 2023.

    Rise In Hashrate Triggers Surge In Mining Difficulty

    Over the previous couple of months, the Bitcoin hashrate has been rising quickly, ultimately hitting an all-time excessive in July. In response to this, the mining issue surged shortly and touched its personal ATH in the identical month.

    By July 8, the Bitcoin mining hashrate was at 538.05 EH/s and issue surged to 53.9112T just a few days in a while July 12. However, since then, it has tapered off with hashrate dropping 26% to 424.76 EH/s and issue dropping round 3% to 52.39T.

    Nevertheless, each the Bitcoin hashrate and issue are considerably larger in comparison with the beginning of 2023, which makes the solo miner’s achievement much more spectacular. However, as hashrate and issue proceed to rise, such occurrences are anticipated to be fewer as miners with massive hashrates dominate the market.

    In the tip, the winner is the Bitcoin community which turns into stronger for it with the elevated hashrate. It can be useful to BTC buyers as an increase in hashrate suggests there’s extra curiosity within the digital asset and this may convert to larger costs for the cryptocurrency.
