Solo Miner Turns $100 into $271K Bitcoin Block

Published by

A solo Bitcoin miner scored a huge win by mining block 928351 after renting under $100 of hashpower on NiceHash’s EasyMining service. The miner captured the full 3.152 BTC block reward, worth roughly $271,000, with Bitcoin trading around $86000.  The score highlights how rented hashpower can still let small players compete with industrial farms, though such solo hits remain extremely unlikely in today’s high-difficulty network.
