An unknown solo miner was able to mine a block of bitcoins tonight, May 23, at 790958. With the current high complexity, something like this is only possible once every nine years.
The event was first brought to attention by Twitter user “Dr.. Con Kolivas”. The block itself can be found at the link.
We remind you that the difficulty of mining has increased again amid higher commissions in the Bitcoin network.
This led to an influx of new entrants, but also made it much more difficult to mine blocks. The chance to mine a block at these rates is about 0.00000003%.
The user was rewarded with 6.25 BTC (about $170 thousand).. The identity and location of the miner are unknown. So far, there have been no new details about this event.
On occasionally, single farmers manage to “knock out” a block of. It was, for example, in March, and before that in January.

“I welcome those newcomers who want to enter the mining market and compete for a block. But I am also obliged to warn you.
