Independent miner successfully mines block through hash power leasing, receives 3.151 BTC reward

According to TheBlock, CKpool developers revealed that the packager of block height 899,826 in the early hours of today was an independent miner using a hash power leasing strategy. This miner temporarily increased their hash power from 6.11 PH/s per week to 261 PH/s using CKpool's solo mining software, ultimately succeeding in mining the block with a probability of about 1/3050 (with the total network hash power at 796 EH/s at the time), earning a reward of 3.151 BTC (approximately $330,000).

It is noteworthy that this is the 300th block mined by an independent miner in CKpool's history. A similar case also occurred in April this year, demonstrating the potential for small and medium-sized miners to participate in Bitcoin mining through flexible strategies.
