CKPool Solo Miner Successfully Mines Block 899,826, Earns 3.151 BTC Reward

CKPool developers have confirmed the successful solo mining of Bitcoin Block 899,826, securing a reward of 3.151 BTC, valued at around $330,000. This achievement was facilitated by temporarily augmenting the hash rate from 6.11 PH/s to 261 PH/s through rented computational power. At the time, the overall network hash rate stood at 796 EH/s, rendering the mining probability approximately 1 in 3,050. This milestone represents the 300th independently mined block in CKPool’s operational history, underscoring the pool’s growing capability in solo mining. Notably, a similar event was recorded in April 2024, highlighting a pattern of successful block discoveries under challenging network conditions. This development reinforces CKPool’s strategic use of standalone mining software and rented hash power to optimize block rewards within the competitive Bitcoin mining ecosystem.
