Talk about hitting the lottery with mining gear!

Some solo miner running a ridiculously small rig—we're talking just 6 terahashes per second—somehow beat astronomical odds and mined an entire Bitcoin block. The payout? A cool 3.146 BTC plus transaction fees, totaling around $265,000.

To put this in perspective, 6 TH/s is barely a drop in the ocean of Bitcoin's total hash rate. Most mining farms run thousands or even millions of times more power. Yet this tiny operation hit the jackpot. Pure luck at its finest.

This is why some miners still go solo despite the odds being stacked against them.
