A solo miner experienced a stroke of remarkable luck when they discovered block 818,588 on November 26, 2023, verifying 4,193 transactions and gaining a reward of 6.887 BTC in total. Con Kolivas, the developer overseeing the Solo Ckpool, pointed out the improbability of this miner solving a block on average only once every 5 years with a hashrate of 2 PH/S comprising a mere 0.0004% of the total hashpower of 488 exahash per second of the Bitcoin network. Such an event is an extraordinary feat of luck that deserves to be recognized and appreciated. Although it is unlikely that more solo miners would be able to replicate the success of the miner, their contribution to the Bitcoin network is still noteworthy, showing the power of determination in the face of incredible odds.
