With Just 0.0004% of Bitcoin’s Hashpower, Solo Miner’s 2 PH/S Effort Secures Block Reward

On November 26, 2023, a stroke of remarkable luck befell a solo miner when they discovered block 818,588, verifying a total of 4,193 transactions. This achievement garnered  the miner a total of 6.887 BTC...

Your opinion is greatly appreciated.

2ph is considerably large compared to other mines that managed to hit blocks on Cksolo, some did it with a few USB sticks that don't go past 10TH.

Yeap, someone found a block in early 2023 with a Compac F which does a hashrate of ~350-400 Gh/s

Getting back to the OP, I'm always happy for the lucky solo miner. But when the hashrate is probably rented, it's less "elegan"t than a block found with an single s9, sidehack ASIC or Bitaxe, for example. We need more pleb miners's solo blocks and less rented hashrate, but give the current network difficulty, it won't be soon  ::)

Not going to happen!
It's not the difficulty, it's manufacturers that are killing solo miners.
Bitmain's most efficient miner the s21hydro is at 5360W, the S21 is at 3500W, T21 3610W
Microbt M60 runs at 3404W, M63 goes to 6626W and the M63S is going for 7215W

Once your miner goes above what a 16/220 can go for it's no longer a pleb miner's toy.
Can't wait for them to go above 8800W, with +/- 10% no common house would be able to run that thing.
