An independent Bitcoin miner successfully mined block 951771 on May 31, earning a reward of 3.14 BTC, valued at approximately $230,000. The miner achieved this using home-use equipment, including 12 Canaan Avalon Nano 3S processors and 2 Avalon Mini 3 processors, with a combined hashrate of about 147 TH/s. This represents a minuscule fraction of the global hashrate, with a probability of finding the block at roughly 1 in 6.7 million. The mining was conducted through the Braiins Solo platform, which operates on CKPool software, enabling individual miners to participate without maintaining a full Bitcoin node. This achievement highlights the potential for small-scale miners to succeed in the competitive Bitcoin mining landscape.
