Original Title: Solo Bitcoin Miners Are Winning More Blocks Lately—What Gives?

Author: Mat Di Salvo, Decrypt

Translated by: Lila, BlockBeats

Last week, another solo Bitcoin miner successfully mined a block, earning a reward of 3.125 BTC, worth nearly $260,000 including transaction fees. This is just one of several recent wins for solo miners in recent months.
