Against all odds, solo miners have managed to mine 12 Bitcoin blocks in 2023 and another 12 blocks in 2024, marking a surprising trend in an otherwise highly improbable endeavor. Solo mining, often compared to winning the lottery due to its near-zero probability of success, has seen a resurgence with these recent successes, challenging conventional wisdom in the Bitcoin mining community.
Historically, the chances of a solo miner successfully mining a block have been staggeringly low, with some estimates placing the odds at 1 in 1.4 million. Despite this, the recent success of solo miners has sparked interest and curiosity about the factors contributing to their unexpected streak of luck.
These 24 solo-mined blocks represent a significant portion of the total solo-mined blocks since Satoshi Nakamoto's disappearance in 2011, further highlighting the rarity of such achievements.
