A lone miner discovered a block chain

An individual miner managed to discover the next block in the bitcoin block chain with a very low probability of doing so.

An analysis of block creation on the bitcoin blockchain shows that block #718124 was found by a single miner, i.e. a miner whose hardware power is not high, this time it was only 126 Th/s. At the same time, the miner was included in the mining pool of solo miners, which meant in his particular case that 2% of the reward amount, i.e. 0.125 BTC, went to the pool account. However, the miner also received transaction fees, around 0.1 BTC.Noticias sobre criptomonedas

Even though the solo miner gained access to the main block reward (6.25 BTC minus the pool fee), the probability of such an event with his connected power was a 1 in 1.36 million chance, according to the current bitcoin hashrate. Statistically, a solo miner with a mining capacity of 126 Th/s can theoretically expect that after 9,500 working days he will have a significant chance (but not a guarantee) of finding a block and being able to count on a reward for it.

This once again suggests that the future of bitcoin mining lies in cloud mining pools, where all miners' abilities are connected to mining, and the reward received is divided among the miners minus the commission ( expenses) for the maintenance of said groups. Such mining seems fundamentally more sustainable than solo mining.mineria de criptomonedas 2022
