A solo miner on NiceHash mined Bitcoin block #928,351 for lower than $100 in rental hashpower. The miner earned a reward of three.152 BTC, equal to roughly $271,000.
Mempool statistics confirmed on Thursday that the block had a near-perfect well being rating of 99.96% and complete transaction charges of 0.027 BTC (~$2,363). On-chain information reveal that the block had a median value of about 2 sat/vB and a price vary of 1–313 sat/vB.
Solo Bitcoin miners beat odds to win blocks
The Mempool information revealed that the precise Bitcoin block had 2,806 transactions (-16.56%). The block had a complete price of 0.027 BTC (-6.18%). In keeping with on-chain information, the block weighted 3.5 MWU (-12.37%).
The block was mined with Model 0x20400000, bits 0x1701e63a, nonce 0xcc01ab16, and a Merkle root of 45c4235f79f7c8642b4eca86ce7e7c28452374b4fc8f1b64b907e4912c3b626 at a community issue of 148,195,306,640,204.7.
On December 12, a unique solo Bitcoin miner utilizing the alias 1Ng9~VoQz efficiently mined a respectable block #927,474. The miner claimed the three.13 BTC block reward, which is price roughly $288,383.50. The Bitcoin block had 1,117 transactions (-62.99%), a block weight of 1.45 MWU (-63.65%), and complete charges of 0.008 BTC (-8.83%).
Towards mathematical odds, the Bitcoin miner utilized a hashrate (computing energy) of 270 TH/s, equal to roughly 0.00002% of the full processing energy of the Bitcoin community. As per the present Bitcoin mining information, a setup of this scale has a 1 in 30,000 probability of fixing a block on any given day.
Ckpooldev, the developer of the CKPool software program, the miner used to mine the block, commented that the incident represents the 310th occasion of a solo miner acquiring a block reward below these explicit monitoring situations.
Much like earlier miners that mined a single block, 1Ng9~VoQz didn’t distribute the mining rewards amongst different members as they might have in a standard mining pool mannequin. As a substitute, the miner earned the whole quantity (minus a 2% cost to CKPool) instantly.
In November, a platform consumer computed a block #924,569 utilizing {hardware} with a hash fee of simply 6 TH/s. CKPool administrator Con Kolivas referred to the miner as “extremely fortunate.” The chances of manufacturing a block with such processing energy are about 1 in 1.2 million each day.
One other solo Bitcoin miner mined block #920,440 in October utilizing the Public Pool platform. The miner earned a reward of 3.141 BTC.
Bitcoin mining profitability declines regardless of rising hash fee
In keeping with analysis launched by JPMorgan (JPM), the profitability of Bitcoin (BTC) mining declined for the fourth consecutive month in November. Analysts Reginald Smith and Charles Pearce famous that the each day block reward gross revenue additionally decreased by 26% from the prior month.
In keeping with Glassnode, the worldwide Bitcoin hash fee (30-day shifting common) is roughly 1.1 ZH/s. The current pattern exhibits a surge towards mid-October file values of 1.15 ZH/s.

On November 21, the hash value reached its lowest level of the 12 months, at roughly $34 per PH/s per day, coinciding with Bitcoin’s decline to $83,000. The mining profitability indicator was restricted to $40 per PH/s each day, even after the value of digital gold recovered to above $90,000.
In November, Fred Thiel, CEO of MARA, said that miners are dealing with a difficult time as a consequence of rising competitors and declining profitability within the mining trade.
The mixed market capitalization of the 14 U.S.-led miners that JPM follows dropped 16% month over month to $59 billion.
JPM revealed that Cypher Mining (CIFR) beat the group because of its latest Fluidstack acquisition, with a 9% rise. Moreover, the JPM report famous that Bitdeer (BTDR) noticed a 40% drop in efficiency.
