A solo bitcoin miner successfully mined block 860749 and received a reward of $181,000, beating larger mining pools in the process. While most bitcoin blocks are mined by mining pools, solo miners have historically had limited computing power. However, with the development of new solo mining rigs, solo miners now have better chances. The overall bitcoin mining scene is still dominated by larger mining pools, with FoundryUSA and Antpool comprising over 50% of the total hash rate. Despite this, solo miners occasionally find blocks, but it is considered a low probability event.
