Small-time bitcoin miners are making headlines for essentially hitting the jackpot by mining full blocks all on their own. In what has become a modern-day ‘gold rush’, bitcoin enthusiasts are now taking to booting up small USB miners will tiny hash rates to try their luck in what is eerily similar to buying lottery tickets. Among the miners who have rushed to this, a few have hit the ultimate prize.
Solo Bitcoin Miner Gets Full Block
In an unlikely event, a solo miner was able to mine a full bitcoin block with a low hash rate. This was made public by Dr. Kolivas, a software engineer that contributed to the development of the Cgminer. He revealed that the solo bitcoin miner had been able to solve a full block by themselves using only 86TH. This took place at a block height of 270,175.
Congratulations to another miner with approximately 86TH solving a solo block on https://t.co/UWgBvLkDqc ! There are a lot more miners now on the solo pool and if enough people are mining solo, someone will eventually be the lucky one as here. https://t.co/Hqte2achR4 pic.twitter.com/0ZT635LicD

Kalnakasys, kuris priklauso kasybos fondui, leidžiančiam pavieniams kalnakasiams sujungti maišos normas, kad padidėtų jų galimybės išspręsti bloką, išsprendęs bloką, galėjo gauti viso bloko atlygį. Kalnakasys gavo visą 6.25 BTC bloko atlygį, iš viso daugiau nei 220,000 XNUMX USD dabartinėmis kainomis, be operacijos mokesčio, sumokėto blokų kasytojui.
Esant tokiai mažai skaičiavimo galiai, kurią turi šis kalnakasys, jiems beveik neįmanoma patiems išgauti bloko. Jiems pasisekė ne pirmiems.
Prieš dvi savaites kitas solo kalnakasys iš to paties kasybos fondo pasiekė tą patį jackpotą, išgavo bloką ir uždirbo viso bloko atlygį bei operacijos mokesčius.

One thing about proof of work mechanisms is the high computation power required to mine bitcoin blocks. As more players enter into the mining space, armed with millions of dollars in institutional backing, being a small-time miner is nearly unprofitable. This is why mining pools like the ckpool exist.

Šiuose baseinuose pavieniai kalnakasiai gali sujungti savo mažą skaičiavimo galią, kad padidintų savo galimybes rasti bloką. Dr. Kolivas paaiškino, kad nors šio kalnakasio kasybos galia svyravo, jie sugebėjo išspręsti bloką tik 8.3 terahašo.

Laying out the math, he explained that by pooling their hashes, miners were able to increase their chances of solving a block to a 1 in 5 chance or a 20% chance. As more miners join the pool, the chances to go solve a block go up. In a reply to another user, Dr. Kolivas paaiškina that if the current hashrate were to increase by 4, then the chances of mining a block jump to 63%.
