Mining Details: Computational Power and Probability

According to the AtlasPool, the miner rented about 450 PH/s of computational power for approximately 90 minutes to mine the block. Block #936100 included 3,278 transactions, and the probability of mining it was estimated at 0.4485%.

“AtlasPool stated that the miner rented about 450 PH/s for 90 minutes.”

Features of Individual Mining

Unlike most market participants who combine their computational resources into large pools to enhance income stability, individual miners rarely have the chance to find a block on their own. However, in the event of success, solo miners receive the entire reward and the full amount of fees without the need to share profits with other participants.

Experts note that such cases are rare, but they confirm the possibility of receiving significant rewards even for solo miners. For example, previously, another solo miner with a hash rate of 270 TH/s earned $285,000 for a mined Bitcoin block.
