Someone Solo BitCoin Mined With A 10TH/s Setup Farm

A solo Bitcoin miner with a 10 TH/s hash rate successfully solved Block 772,793, an event that occurred in January 2023 when the network’s total hash rate was approximately 269 EH/s. This victory was statistically improbable, with odds of roughly 1 in 26.9 million, as the miner’s power represented only 0.000000037% of the network’s total computational strength.

The miner received the full block reward of 6.359 BTC (minus a 2% fee to Solo CK Pool), which was valued at over $250,000 at the time. The setup likely consisted of four USB stick miners or similar low-power ASICs, demonstrating that while mining pools dominate the network, individual hobbyists can still win the entire block reward through sheer luck.

Solo mining with a $10$ TH/s setup is essentially a lottery ticket. While the mathematical odds of solving a full block are microscopic (averaging roughly once every several centuries), independent hobbyists using solo mining pools consistently strike massive payouts.

8	Block 920,440	Unknown	Celebrated in the community as “A Bitcoin Jackpot,” a solo miner beat the mega pools for a block reward.
9	Block 308 / $265K	(sim 6) TH/s	A 6 TH/s hobbyist beat 1-in-180-million odds to land a life-changing payout.
10	Block 932,129	Unknown	A “Lucky Strike” win that netted an individual miner a full block subsidy.

Note: These solo miners connected to specialized lottery pools like Solo CKPool or utilized NiceHash EasyMining packages, which are designed to distribute full block rewards to lucky individuals rather than splitting them proportionally.
