Two Solo Bitcoin Miners Win Over $230,000 Each in Rare Consecutive Block Solves

Two independent solo Bitcoin miners earned over $230,000 each in block rewards after solving blocks 974,893 and 974,930 on November 7. The rare events occurred less than seven hours apart on the Bitcoin blockchain. Both miners utilized CKPool's solo mining service, allowing them to retain virtually the full block reward instead of splitting payouts across a traditional collective pool. The consecutive wins come amid near-record network hashrates and substantial operational risks, with solo setups typically incurring monthly electricity expenses of $400 to $1,100.
