[A Miner Using a 1 TH/s Mining Machine Wins 3.1382 BTC Block Reward, Probability Estimated at Once Every 16,000 Years] BlockBeats News, July 12: A miner using a Bitaxe ASIC mining machine equipped with a single chip and a hash rate of approximately 1 TH/s successfully mined Bitcoin block 957,382 yesterday, earning the full block reward of 3.1382 BTC, valued at approximately $200,000. The device operated without overclocking and mined through the zero-fee Public Pool, retaining 100% of the block subsidy and transaction fees. The miner's effective share difficulty reached 294.14T, more than double the 133.87T required to solve the block. Based on a hash rate of 1 TH/s, it is estimated that mining a block would take an average of 16,000 years, making this event extremely rare. However, the daily probability of such an occurrence is still approximately 53 times higher than winning the lottery. [Original Link]
