A solo Bitcoin miner spent under $100 on NiceHash hash power to secure block 928,351, demonstrating the rare potential for small-scale operators to achieve substantial rewards.
An independent Bitcoin miner spent less than $100 renting hash power on NiceHash and successfully mined block 928,351, receiving 3.152 BTC worth about $271,000 at current prices. Operating without a mining pool, the miner kept the full reward from the block’s subsidy and transaction fees. Such solo mining wins are uncommon due to Bitcoin’s high network difficulty but highlight the potential for individual miners to secure large payouts through minimal investment.
