PANews reported on June 5 that according to The Block, on Thursday, an independent miner successfully mined block 899826 through CKpool's independent mining software and received a block reward of 3.15 BTC (about $330,000), including a block subsidy of $327,600 and a transaction fee of $2,761. CKpool developer Con Kolivas pointed out that the miner increased the hash rate from 6.11 PH/s per week to 261 PH/s by temporarily leasing computing power, completing mining with a probability of about 1/3050 (the total network computing power was 796 EH/s at the time). This is the 300th block mined by an independent miner in the history of CKpool, and a similar case occurred in April 2024.
