Bitcoin2026-09-12 02:23:42Solo Bitcoin miner finds block 966351 and takes full 3.147 BTC rewardA solo Bitcoin miner using Braiins Solo has mined block 966351 and received the full 3.147 BTC block reward, worth about $245,000, according to Bitcoin.com. The result marks the first successful block found by a solo miner on the Bitcoin network in nearly 40 days. The previous case took place on Aug. 2, when a miner working through Solo CKPool collected 3.1569 BTC. The report also noted how rare such wins have become as large mining pools continue to dominate network hashpower. Foundry, Antpool, F2Pool, ViaBTC and Spiderpool together currently control about 78.31% of Bitcoin’s total network computing power, leaving solo miners with relatively low odds of producing a block. The event stands out because block production on Bitcoin is now heavily concentrated among a handful of major pools.760

Cloud hashrate rental lowers the entry barrier.470

The probability of success was estimated at roughly 1 in 100,000 per day, equivalent to an expected success rate once every several centuries. The miner's hashpower represented just 0.0000069% of the network total, a fraction comparable to a single Antminer S17+ unit. CKpool developer Con Kolivas confirmed the win, highlighting the lottery-like nature of solo mining. This event follows a similar success days earlier when another solo miner earned ~$210,000.390
