🚨SOLO BLOCK FOUND!!
Someone with 48.3 TH/s just mined a Bitcoin block and took home 3.09098963 BTC. 🔥
Discussion
48.3 th/s es mucho igual
Oooo 😬⛏️💪
hashing ⛏️ ✴️✴️
The real lottery! Awesome!
Love to see it. 💪
Get it!
So happy to see this! Congratulations you fucking legend!
So? Lucky ?
Neat. & This morning I moved my coupla pleb miners to solo. Not like they squeeze enough sats out of any pool to make a difference anyway - so fuggit
Is it just my Impression or is indeed the number of these kind of Stories quite high? Seems like every few weeks we get these solo mining stories
True
Which miners do you recommend for home solo mining for fun? Bonus if miner could be transformed into air heater.
Nano3 or newer nano3s is actually a space heater.
A beautiful thing!

Love it. That was the norm when I was solo mining in 2011. Glad to see it's still a thing.
At first i was like less than block reward? But realized it was a typo or something 
The post says someone mined a Bitcoin block using **48.3 TH/s** (terahashes per second) of hash power and earned **3.09098963 BTC**. That’s an impressive solo mining feat — and rare.
### 💰 Cost Estimate for 48.3 TH/s of Mining Power:
To estimate the cost of mining hardware capable of 48.3 TH/s, we can look at typical ASIC miners (as of mid-2025):
#### 🔧 ASIC Options:
| Miner | Hash Rate | Power Draw | Price (approx.) |
| ----------------- | ----------- | ---------- | -------------------- |
| Antminer S19j Pro | \~100 TH/s | \~3000W | \~\$1,500–\$2,000 |
| Antminer S9 | \~13.5 TH/s | \~1300W | \~\$100–\$200 (used) |
| WhatsMiner M30S | \~86 TH/s | \~3200W | \~\$1,300–\$1,800 |
#### 🧮 If they used Antminer S9s (13.5 TH/s each):
* **4 units** would provide \~54 TH/s (a bit over).
* **Total cost:** 4 × \$150 = **\~\$600** (used gear, loud, power-hungry).
#### 🧮 If they used a single WhatsMiner M30S or S19j Pro (throttled or underclocked):
* Could’ve just used **one modern miner** running at \~48 TH/s or underclocked from a higher rate.
* **Total cost:** \~\$1,500 to **\$2,000**
### ⚠️ But Cost ≠ Probability
Solo mining is a massive gamble. Even with 48.3 TH/s, the chance of solving a block alone is **extremely small** — but if it happens, the payout (like this one: 3+ BTC ≈ over \$180,000 at current prices) is huge.
---
**Rough cost estimate:**
👉 Between **\$600 (used gear)** and **\$2,000 (modern ASIC)**.
Let me know if you want:
* Power cost estimates
* Expected time to hit a block at that hash rate
* Pool vs solo mining comparison
That would be a lot of Shitaxes to have 43 TH.
Thanks a lot for all your warm comments, that means a lot to me !

Damn! Thats amazing.
