An independent miner successfully mined Bitcoin block 943,411, earning approximately $210,000 in block rewards.

According to Odaily, a Bitcoin miner mining solo via CKPool successfully mined block #943,411 on Thursday, receiving a reward of approximately 3.139 BTC (including block subsidy and transaction fees), equivalent to about $210,000 at the current price. Statistics show that solo mining remains a low-probability event. In the past 12 months, solo pools have mined only 20 blocks, earning a total of about 62.96 BTC, with a “win” occurring on average every 18.7 days and the longest gap being 58 days. The previous such record was on February 28.

This block was found as mining competition continues to intensify. The Bitcoin network's difficulty recently saw its largest decrease since February (about -7.7%), and then rebounded approximately 3.87% within 24 hours, reflecting a temporary decline in hash rate and briefly increasing miners’ chances of finding a block.
