The crypto -journalist Pete Rizzo (Pete Rizzo) told in tweet that the miner processed a block containing 3071 transaction. In addition to the main award, the solo-master received an additional 0.033 BTC in the form of transaction commissions. As a result, the total income amounted to 3.158 BTC.
A single miner worked independently, without the participation of a large mining company. However, what the equipment he used remains unknown. In the comments on Ritzo’s tweet, some users suggested that a loner could use the Bitaxe device for home mining worth $ 200. Others suggested that he could work with the CKPool mining bullet, which allows individuals to extract cryptocurrency, not relying on a large company.
According to the BITS.MEDIA service, on February 12, the average speeding speed of the bitcoin network has 706.4 Exaches per second (EX/s). With this indicator, the chances of individual miners to add a block to the blockchain are extremely low. Most bitcoin blocks are generated by large mining companies with expensive equipment. However, in rare cases, loners can also be lucky.
In September last year, Solo-Mainer also received a 3.169 BTC award for the successful production of Bitcoin. At that time, these coins were estimated at $ 181,147. In August, an independent miner was able to earn 3.27 BTC in the amount of $ 199 094.
