An independent miner mined block 853,742 and received a block reward worth about $210,000

A lone Bitcoin miner successfully processed block 853742, earning a block reward worth about $210,000. The miner processed a block containing 4,365 transactions and was rewarded 3.19 BTC. Although the odds of a single miner successfully processing a block are extremely low, this lucky event shows that individual miners still have a chance to reap rich rewards from the Bitcoin network. Such events are extremely rare, and the last similar situation occurred in April this year, when a miner won a reward of $218,500. (Decrypt)
