A Solo Miner Hits the Jackpot with Just 2.3 PH/s

In a striking reminder that sometimes even the underdogs win, a solo Bitcoin miner recently pocketed nearly $350,000 after independently cracking block 903883. What makes this so remarkable? The miner was operating through CKpool, wielding a relatively modest setup pushing 2.3 petahashes per second (PH/s).

This feat defies steep odds—1 in 2,800 per day, to be precise—making it one of the rarest and most impressive victories in solo mining history.

The Odds Were Slim—But Not Impossible

According to mining statistics from Mempool.space, the chance of solving a block at 2.3 PH/s under current network difficulty is just 0.004% daily—or roughly once every 8 years.

Despite these odds, this solo miner achieved success and was rewarded with:

Hardware Setup Likely Built from Older ASIC Units

While specific details of the mining hardware remain under wraps, experts speculate that the rig likely involved a mix of older-generation ASIC miners working in tandem to reach the 2.3 PH/s mark.

To put it in perspective, consumer-level machines like Bitaxe or USB-based NerdMiner units generate terahashes or even kilohashes per second—far below what's needed to realistically compete for full block rewards.

How Big Miners Compare

To achieve a single block every month in a solo mining scenario, you'd need a monstrous 166,000 TH/s—equivalent to around 500 Antminer S21 Hydro machines. Such an operation would cost millions of dollars in hardware and infrastructure.

Despite this, the recent solo success proves that even modest setups, with a little luck, can still reap major rewards.

Not the First Time—And Probably Not the Last

This isn’t the only time a solo miner struck it big this year:

• February: Block 883,181 yielded $300,000+ in BTC

• Early June: Block 899,826 netted about $330,000

These wins showcase the thrill and possibility of solo mining—even in a world dominated by industrial-scale operations.

Industrial Giants Struggle as Solo Miner Shines

Interestingly, June was a downturn month for major players like Riot Platforms, Cipher Mining, and MARA Holdings, who scaled back operations in Texas due to soaring summer energy costs. This contrast highlights how sometimes smaller, more agile players can outperform their heavyweight rivals—especially when electricity costs and regional regulations play a role.

China's Imprint on Global Mining Still Lingers

Despite Beijing's 2021 ban on cryptocurrency mining, China remains deeply embedded in the global mining landscape:

• 55%–65% of mining activity still linked to Chinese capital, hardware, or expertise

• Companies like Bitmain, Canaan, and MicroBT—which make 99% of Bitcoin mining hardware—have shifted production to the U.S., aiding in America's growth from 4% of the hashrate in 2019 to 38% today

Some former Chinese miners have ramped up their capacity by as much as 150% after relocating abroad. Meanwhile, low-level mining activity still persists in remote Chinese regions where enforcement remains minimal.

Final Thoughts

This story is more than just luck—it’s a reminder that the crypto world still holds room for bold individuals willing to challenge the odds. While large mining farms dominate headlines and hashrates, the heart of Bitcoin remains decentralized—and stories like this solo victory prove it.
