The chance of winning once in 87 years! Bitcoin Lucky Miner Takes 200000 Magnesium Memory Blocks as

Independent miners win the lottery

According to data from mempool, a miner from Solo ckpool mined a Bitcoin memory block with a height of 858978 BTC last night and received a memory block reward of 3.275 BTC, with a total value of approximately $199098.

According to the official introduction, Solo ckpool is a service provided to individual Bitcoin miners, which allows miners to directly connect to the Bitcoin network and mine independently without going through traditional mining pools. Simply put, Solo ckpool can provide a more efficient, economical, and lower threshold way for miners who do not have the ability or willingness to maintain full nodes to participate in Bitcoin mining, especially suitable for independent miners who treat mining as buying lottery tickets.

Probability of once in 87 years

According to some netizens' calculations, taking the AntMiner S19 XP ASIC mining machine as an example, the current computing power of the entire network is about 640mTH/s, while the computing power of this mining machine is 140 TH/s, accounting for 0.000021875% of the total network computing power. In other words, the probability of successfully mining a memory block is about 1/4571428. Assuming a memory block is generated every 10 minutes, it may take 87 years to successfully mine a memory block.

Use small skills to fight big hits

According to previous reports from Zombie, in April of this year, an independent miner from ckpool broke the norm and independently obtained the right to block Bitcoin memory blocks, receiving a reward of all 3.125 Bitcoin memory blocks (worth approximately $200000). It is usually quite difficult for independent miners to mine memory blocks alone, just like winning the lottery. Out of the 859036 memory blocks generated since the birth of Bitcoin 14 years ago, only about 283 have occurred. Therefore, most independent miners choose to team up with mining pools to obtain more stable income.
