Despite the increasing difficulty of mining Bitcoin, solo miners have been having a successful year. One individual miner recently processed a block on the Bitcoin network and received a reward of 3.329 Bitcoin, worth $222,438. Mining difficulty has significantly increased over time, requiring large companies to run mining operations out of warehouses. The quadrennial halving event in April also made mining more challenging by cutting miner rewards in half. However, the value of Bitcoin has risen significantly since its inception, allowing miners to continue operating. Solo miners have experienced several successful months this year, with the most recent success occurring in September.
