An interesting development: An individual Bitcoin miner found a block and earned a reward of 3.16 BTC. Achieving such success through solo mining instead of a large pool demonstrates how valuable the current situation is.

Recently, these kinds of solo successes have become more frequent. This could be due to the balancing of mining difficulty or changes in network conditions. But the key point is this: opportunities can still open up for individual miners.

A one-time gain of over 3 BTC proves that solo mining can be risky but potentially profitable. The decentralized mining option remains viable on the Bitcoin network.

Bro, your luck is incredible. Getting 3.16 Bitcoins in one go? If I had that kind of luck, I would have already quit the mining pool. Solo mining is like playing the lottery, but the thrill of hitting a jackpot occasionally... Hehe, it's worth it.

Solo mining is really a gambler's game. If you're lucky, one hit is a thrill; if you're unlucky, you wait a year... Over 3 Bitcoins just took off.

From on-chain data, the incentive mechanism design for solo mining has actually been recalibrated. The case of 3.16 BTC precisely verifies my previous hypothesis about the mining difficulty adjustment cycle—see the discussion in Section 4.1 of the Satoshi White Paper.

A single miner mining 3.16 BTC... The sustainability behind this data is the key. Short-term luck ≠ long-term strategy. The ROI efficiency volatility of solo mining is too high, which is a completely different concept from the stable returns of large mining pools.

Wow, this luck is too incredible. I just went solo and hit a jackpot? I need to reflect on whether I should give up on the mining pool...

Solo mining this time is really amazing; if you bet right, it's the rhythm to get rich quickly.
