An individual Bitcoin (BTC) miner beat astronomical odds to successfully receive a block reward.
On the 12th (Korean time), according to crypto media The Block, miner A used CKpool's personal Bitcoin mining software to mine 927,474 blocks, obtaining a total of 3.133 bitcoins. That is worth 289,380 dollars at current prices.
CKpool developer Kon Klivas explained, "Such a case might occur only once every 82 years, if at all."
Small-scale (individual) miners generally opt to join mining pools that provide steady rewards to earn profits, but some attempt solo mining aiming for the entire block reward.
