An independent Bitcoin miner mined Bitcoin block 960804 at 02:11 UTC on Monday, receiving a reward of 3.1568983 BTC, worth approximately $200,000. This reward includes a block subsidy of 3.125 BTC and a transaction fee of 0.032 BTC from 4243 transactions. CKPool developer Dr-ck stated that this block is the 317th independent block mined through CKPool, with the winning address being bc1qdyqjq9qccp34pyv3kxmsrkn7p0amnsqqy8kdeq.Its hash rate fluctuated significantly, peaking at 100 PH, suspected to be from rented hash power. At that time, the total Bitcoin network hash rate was 924 EH/s, and this peak accounted for approximately 0.011% of the entire network, corresponding to about one block mined every 64 days. CKPool allows independent miners to access its infrastructure without running a full Bitcoin node and charges a 2% fee from the mined blocks.

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, an independent miner successfully mined Bitcoin block 913,593 with a hash rate of only 200TH/s, receiving a total reward of 3.129 BTC (approximately $347,980). CKpool developer Con Kolivas stated that this miner, using solo.ckpool.org, had only about a 1 in 36,000 chance of mining a block each day.The miner's hash rate is equivalent to that of a 2024 model Bitmain Antminer S21, accounting for about 0.00002% of the total Bitcoin network hash rate (1.04 ZH/s).

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, CKpool developers revealed that the miner who packaged block height 899,826 early this morning is an independent miner using a hash power rental strategy. This miner temporarily increased their hash power from 6.11 PH/s to 261 PH/s through CKpool's solo mining software, ultimately successfully mining the block with a probability of about 1/3050 (when the total network hash power was 796 EH/s), earning a reward of 3.151 BTC (approximately $330,000).It is worth noting that this is the 300th block mined by an independent miner in CKpool's history. A similar case occurred in April this year, demonstrating the potential for small and medium miners to participate in Bitcoin mining through flexible strategies.

ChainCatcher news, according to ckpool developer Dr -ck, a miner successfully mined Bitcoin block 887212 (block hash: 000000000000000000006414aea39be567cf1d5ff6cbf2d77254fe7c714b0d81) with only 3.3TH of hash power, using a 480GH Bitaxe miner, at solo.ckpool.org.The miner's address is bc1qaxccz85rx6ywy2xw6ugtm6u37mvew6qqn7lgtd, and theoretically, the probability of discovering a block daily is less than one in a million, typically requiring 3,500 years to find one block.
