Bitcoin Solo-Mainer managed to earn $ 266,000, independently deciding the 888 737 block containing 2,327 transactions. We tell how everything was, and what is special in this story.
A single miner obtained a block on March 21, 2025 on the Futurebit Apollo device-this is equipment that is usually used by amateurs, rather than large mining companies.
Bitcoin mining is complicated
The miner received a basic award of 3.125 BTC for the block decision, plus an additional reward in the form of commissions for 2,327 transactions included in this block. The total amount of remuneration exceeded $ 266,000 (at the rate at the time of publication).
Given the current difficulty of mining, the victory of the loner with the old device is similar to a miracle, or a successful combination of circumstances. However, such stories fuel interest in mining, even when the chances are small.
Bitcoin mining is constantly complicated under the influence of a mechanism known as the adjustment of complexity: the bitcoin mining algorithm periodically changes so that the blocks come out with a certain frequency. The complexity indicator has updated the historical maximum on February 10 at the level of 114,167T.
The global hashrate of Bitcoin also reached a new record of 817.8 exsehechs per second (EH/S). This means that the computing power of the network continues to grow exponentially.
What is a hashReit
The hashReit is an indicator of the computing power of the network, which reflects how many hashes (calculations) can be performed in one second. The higher the hashrate, the faster the system can look for solutions for new blocks, which directly affects the complexity of mining.
Ling miners have to compete with large mining companies that have huge capacities and specialized equipment. Under these conditions, their chances are small: in the entire history of Bitcoin, out of 859 thousand mined blocks, only 290 were processed by solo-mainers.
In August 2024, Solo-Mainer with a hashrate of 0.012% earned $ 200,000. He worked in the Solo CK Pool pool, which unites the hashReit of small miners, while only the one who decides the block receives a reward.
