[Independent Miner Successfully Mines Bitcoin Block 943,411, Earning Approximately $210,000 Block Reward] Odaily Planet Daily News: A Bitcoin miner using CKPool for solo mining successfully mined block 943,411 on Thursday, earning a reward of approximately 3.139 BTC (including block subsidy and transaction fees), equivalent to about $210,000 at current prices. Statistics show that solo mining remains a low-probability event. Over the past 12 months, solo mining pools have mined only 20 blocks, earning a total of approximately 62.96 BTC, with an average occurrence of a 'win' every 18.7 days, and the longest interval reaching 58 days. The last recorded instance was on February 28. This block was mined amidst intensifying mining competition. Bitcoin network difficulty recently experienced its largest downward adjustment since February (approximately -7.7%), followed by a rebound of about 3.87% within 24 hours, reflecting a temporary weakening of hash rate, which briefly increased miners' chances of mining a block.
