Solo Miner Mined A Bitcoin Block All By Himself - Miles Teller - Dec 23, 2024

Saw this on reddit. What are the odds/chances of getting a whole block by yourself? admittedly I don't fully understand mining, just the very basics of it.

This is I believe the 3rd time we've seen this in a few years. So maybe like once a year a solo miner is hitting their jackpot.

Must have a warehouse full of GPU.

the odds would point to this, but still possible with any type of miner. The odds are just insane

Wow, this is honestly crazy. Didn't mining die awhile ago? If so that is even more impressive to do today. Imagine hitting that.

Mining died? Hm. All of the current miners must have missed it.
Maybe for hobbyists it did.

always new tech coming out. at this point its been monopolized and unless you take out a large loan to get started and constantly invest in stronger equipment, and pay for cheap electricity its a losing battle.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure mining chips (ASICS) are highly specialized and there's no real incentive to sell them if you can engineer them because-.. it's highly specialized knowledge, so you can just use the chips you produce to mine yourself, and earn more money you would by selling them and spreading hashing power out.
