Thomas Fahrer, co-founder of Apollo, a portal for tracking Bitcoin statistics, disclosed the extraordinary event. Moreover, highlighted that a solo Bitcoin miner grabbed block rewards of a whopping 3.319 BTC.<\/p>\n<h2>Solo Miner Bags Bitcoin Mining Jackpot<\/h2>\n<p>In a post on X, Fahrer stated, \u201cA solo miner just mined a block worth 3.319 Bitcoin ($203,000).\u201d This windfall, grabbed on Monday, May 13, comprised 3.125 BTC block rewards valued at $202,687. In addition, the miner labeled as Solo CK attained additional 0.194 BTC transaction fee reward totaling $11.856.<\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.82 --><\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Fahrer emphasized the rarity of such an occurrence, noting that it transpired with odds \u201cless than 1 in 1,000.\u201d Indeed, this marks only the 283rd instance recorded among the over 843,200 blocks minted since Bitcoin\u2019s inception 14 years ago<\/p>\n<p>The 843,231 Bitcoin block boasted an impressive health rating of 99.67%. This showcasing the efficiency and reliability of the mining operation. Earlier, on April 29, a Bitcoin miner accomplished a similar feat by autonomously solving network block 841,286, earning them a complete reward of 3.125 BTC.<\/p>\n<p>The fourth <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/bouncebit-price-rallies-90-binance-extends-support-bb\/\">Bitcoin Halving<\/a> event that concluded on April 19, 2024, reduced the Bitcoin mining block rewards to 3.125 BTC from 6.25 BTC. Hence, the above-mentioned two instances mark the only cases of an individual miner mining the entire block after the latest Halving.<\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.82 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.82 --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/robert-kiyosaki-advocates-bitcoin-amid-impending-brics-crypto-launch\/\">Robert Kiyosaki Advocates Bitcoin Amid Impending BRICS Crypto Launch<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>BTC Hashprice Plummets<\/h2>\n<p>Following the fourth Halving event on the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/bitcoin-etf-clock-116m-weekly-inflow-despite-recent-setback-what-to-expect\/\">Bitcoin network<\/a>, an essential metric shedding light on the profitability of BTC mining has hit an unprecedented low. The <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/data.hashrateindex.com\/chart\/bitcoin-hashprice-index\">hashprice<\/a>, termed by Luxor, plunged to a record low of $48.47 on Sunday, May 12.<\/p>\n<p>This significant drop in the hashprice comes shortly after the recent Bitcoin Halving on April 19. This event, occurring approximately every four years, saw a halving of the reward for miners, thereby decreasing the incentives for securing the network. Consequently, as miners contend with reduced rewards, the hashprice metric serves as a crucial indicator of their potential earnings.<\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.82 --><\/p>\n<p>Hashprice, which is expressed in various currencies but commonly displayed in USD or BTC (sats), measures the expected value of 1 TH\/s of hashing power per day. Furthermore, it acts as a gauge of a miner\u2019s potential income based on network difficulty, Bitcoin\u2019s price, block subsidy, and transaction fees. Noteworthy is the utilization of a 144-lagging Simple Moving Average (SMA) by Luxor\u2019s Bitcoin Hashprice Index, which considers transaction fees, providing a comprehensive perspective on mining profitability.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the hashprice is closely tied to fluctuations in Bitcoin\u2019s price and transaction fee volume, yet it moves in the opposite direction of changes in Bitcoin\u2019s mining difficulty. Moreover, the recent declining trend in the hashprice hints at challenging times ahead for miners, who now confront increased operational expenses and diminished revenue streams.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/satoshi-era-bitcoin-btc-addresses-awakens-with-massive-gains\/\">Bitcoin News: Satoshi-Era Bitcoin (BTC) Addresses Awakens With Massive Gains<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.82 --><\/p>\n<p>                                &lt;!&#8211; <\/p>\n<div class=\"desktopPostEnd d-on\"><\/div>\n<p> &#8211;&gt;<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-on mobiless\">\n<div id=\"social-section-new\">\n<p>\u2713 Share:<\/p>\n<p>                                  <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"social-text_new wp_new\" href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?text=https:\/\/coingape.com\/bitcoin-mining-solo-miner-scoops-entire-3-125-btc-from-single-block-heres-how\/\">  <i class=\"fa fa-whatsapp\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n                                <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"social-text_new tw_new_logo\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=https:\/\/coingape.com\/bitcoin-mining-solo-miner-scoops-entire-3-125-btc-from-single-block-heres-how\/\"><\/p>\n<p><\/a>\n                                <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>          &lt;!&#8211; <\/p>\n<div class=\"m-on pl-2 pr-2\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-6 pr-2\">\n<div class=\"Borderboxies_2 mb-3  fullmobx\">\n<p>            <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/top-7-crypto-marketing-firms-of-the-year\/?utm_source=abovesidebartabnews&amp;utm_medium=organicarticle\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"SponserdyWebimg_2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"834\" height=\"833\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/15175104\/top_crypto_marketing_agencies.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"Sponserdtent_2 mt-2\">Top Crypto Marketing Firms \/ Agencies 2023; Here\u2019s Best Picks [Updated]\n <\/div>\n<p>            <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-6 pl-2\">\n<div class=\"Borderboxies_2 mb-3  fullmobx\">\n<p>            <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/top-10-web-3-games-to-explore-in-2023-here-list\/?utm_source=priceanalysisbar&amp;utm_medium=organicarticle\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"SponserdyWebimg_2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"834\" height=\"833\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23134356\/jpg_20221223_134223_0000.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"Sponserdtent_2 mt-2\">Top 10 Web3 Games To Explore In 2023; Here List\n <\/div>\n<p>            <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>                    &#8211;&gt;<\/p>\n<div class=\"TabDicA\">\n<div class=\"TBAcon \">\n<div class=\"authorFlip tabcS\" id=\"TabA196648\">\n<div class=\"authorBox\">\n<div class=\"author_Name\">\n&lt;!&#8211;<\/p>\n<div class=\"getAuthoname\"><\/div>\n<p>&#8211;&gt;<\/p>\n<p>CoinGape comprises an experienced team of native content writers and editors working round the clock to cover news globally and present news as a fact rather than an opinion.
