  • Solo Bitcoin Miner Wins $225K Reward with CKPool Service
    April 9, 2026, 2:51 PM EDT. A solo Bitcoin miner secured a substantial reward of 3.12 BTC, valued at approximately $225,000, by solving a Bitcoin block on Thursday. This marks the second solo block found within a week using CKPool, a service that enables miners to participate without running a full Bitcoin node. The victorious miner deployed 70 terahashes per second (TH/s) computing power, accounting for just 0.00000667% of the overall Bitcoin network's hash rate. CKPool users pay a 2% fee on rewards but benefit from reduced operational overhead. Bitcoin's price recently rose 1.2% to $72,094, still 43% below last October's peak of $126,080. This event underscores that individual miners can occasionally achieve significant success despite steep odds.
