CKpool déploie un pool à faible latence après qu’un mineur solo empoche une récompense de 3,175 BTC
CKpool fait parler de lui avec le lancement d'un nouveau pool minier optimisé pour la latence. La move survient après qu'un mineur indépendant ait raflé un jackpot de 3,175 BTC - de quoi faire pâlir les hedge funds traditionnels et leurs rendements miteux.
Low-latency, high-reward : la nouvelle arme des mineurs
Le pool promet des temps de réponse ultra-rapides, donnant aux participants un avantage crucial dans la course aux blocs. Une innovation qui pourrait redistribuer les cartes dans l'écosystème minier.
Le mineur solo devenu millionnaire (en sats)
L'histoire du chanceux qui a empoché 3,175 BTC en solo fait déjà le tour de la communauté. Preuve que dans la crypto, le petit joueur peut encore battre les gros pools... à condition d'avoir un sacré coup de bol.
Alors que Wall Street s'enlise dans ses produits dérivés sur 50 leviers, la vraie révolution financière continue de se jouer dans les mines cryptos. Ironique, non ?
AU pool is likely Bitaxe dominated
Con Kolivas predicted that the AU pool will comprise mostly of Bitaxe mining rigs. He also predicted that the AU pool will have the lowest hashrate compared to other solo CK pools. This is due to high electricity costs in Australia.
Currently, the average cost of residential electricity in Australia is AUD 33 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh), while commercial electricity costs between AUD 25 and AUD 45 cents per kWh. In the United States, the average residential electricity rate is USD 12.89 cents per kWh (AUD 19.6 cents), compared with AUD 33 cents per kWh in Australia. This is 60% of what Australians pay for each kilowatt-hour of electricity.
The average Bitaxe rig hashrate ranges between 0.4–1.2 Terahash (TH/s). This means the electricity costs in Australia for running a Bitaxe solo miner will be AUD 16 cents per day at the average residential rate of AUD 33 cents, and between AUD 12 cents and AUD 22 cents per day at commercial rates of AUD 25 to 45 cents per kWh.
While the daily costs seem minimal, the chance of solving a Bitcoin block and winning the mining fees of 3.175 BTC will take 14,075 years based on calculations from SoloChance.
A Bitaxe rig tends to sell for roughly USD 150 each, and committed hobbyists usually run a cluster of 2 to 4 BTC rigs.
Solo Bitcoin miner racks in 3.175 BTC with 200 Ph/s
Yesterday, Con Kolivas congratulated a solo miner for winning 3.175 BTC after solving block number 904,989. The miner solved the 302nd solo block with a huge hashrate of 200 petahashes per second (Ph/s). Con Kolivas wrote, “A miner of this size would solve a block once every ~35 days on average at current mining difficulty.”
He further clarified that a miner of this size is probably renting hashrate. This is because the high hashrate of 200 Ph/s is much higher than the hashrate of available mining hardware. The developer said that this miner started mining Bitcoin on January 9, 2025. That’s around 7 months only.
In 2017, Con Kolivas opened a shared Bitcoin mining pool with zero fees. The pool provided instant coinbase payment to miners. The developer created the pool as a service for the community. However, he shut it down in 2020 because it failed to attract enough hashrate to stay running.
