A CKPool mining pool user with the wallet address bc1q2za4ejga366sn288273pty8trasn5zs4y9hqg6 mined a block in the network of the first cryptocurrency with the number 803,821.
Service administrator CKpool believes that the miner used ten S17 devices with a capacity of about 1 PH/s.
According to solochance.com, the chance of a solo miner with that kind of power getting a block is now about once in eight years.
In May, a solo miner with 750 TH/s processing power mined block number 790,958 on the Bitcoin network. The loner also received a reward of 6.25 BTC for the block he found.
In March, a Russian resident, who controls 0.002% of the Bitcoin network’s total hashrate, managed to mine block 780,112.
According to loner, the hashrate of his equipment is only 270 TH/s (about three ASIC miners), but he has leased additional capacity for 5 PH/s.
