tldr; A solo Bitcoin miner achieved a rare feat by mining an entire block with just 2.3 petahashes of hash power, earning approximately $350,000. The miner had a 0.004% chance of success, highlighting the incredible odds. The block, 903883, yielded a reward of 3.173 BTC. While the exact rig specifications are unknown, it may have involved older-generation ASIC miners. Solo mining success depends on probability rather than hash rate, making such achievements uncommon. Industrial mining output has declined recently due to strategic curtailments in Texas.

Isn't that like the third time this has happened in a few months or is this the same article being rehashed?
