Ethereum Single Miner Gets 170 ETH for Block Mining

Previously, a single miner independently mined a block in the Bitcoin network. Now luck has smiled on a single miner on the Ethereum network – he received 170.65 ETH (more than $500,000) for discovering a block.

According to Etherscan, there were 236 transactions in the mined block. Moreover, for 235 of them, the commission ranged from 0.67 ETH to 1 ETH, while the volume of the transactions themselves was 0.24 ETH each. Only one transaction was approved with the more usual fee of 0.0045 ETH, even though it was 0.0084 ETH.

Apparently, we are talking about the use of the so-called “flashbots” – the author of the transactions sent them directly to the miner with an increased commission so that they would be immediately included in the block and not wait for their turn.

In this case, we are talking about the release of tokens. FOMO MOFOS are collectible tokens traded on the OpenSea platform. It is not yet clear why the author of the collection paid such a significant transaction fee when issuing NFTs.

Recall that in early January, a single bitcoin miner with a total hashrate of 126 Tx / s mined a block and received a reward of 6.25 BTC. This is 0.000073% of the total hashrate of the Bitcoin network. The probability of finding a block was only 4% per year.
