Overview
- A solo miner validated Bitcoin block 943,411 on CKpool and earned 3.139 BTC worth about $210,000, confirmed by CKpool developer Con Kolivas.
- The miner ran about 230 terahashes per second, roughly 0.00002% of the network, which Kolivas said carried about 1-in-28,000 daily odds.
- CKpool lets solo miners keep the full block payout minus a 2% fee, and this was its 312th recorded win and the first since February 28.
- The payout arrives as listed miners Riot, MARA, and Genius Group disclosed large Bitcoin sales tied to shifts toward AI infrastructure.
- The result shows how Bitcoin’s probabilistic mining can let a small stack of home-scale ASIC rigs occasionally claim an entire block reward.
