CKPool Solo’s operator announced on Nov. 11, 2026, that a solo bitcoin miner using about 161 terahashes per second had solved a block. The operator estimated that a miner of that size has about a 1-in-126 chance of solving a block over a year; the estimate does not make any single attempt likely to succeed.
The excerpt says solo miners had found 38 blocks since January 2026. It estimates that a mined block would pay 3.125 BTC plus transaction fees, worth about $230,000 at the bitcoin price it cites.
