The act of mining a valid BTC block solo is so rare that the event has occurred only 270 times out of the 700,000 blocks produced in the last 13 years. A solo Bitcoin miner has managed to solve/mine the 780,112th block in the Bitcoin Blockchain and received a 6.5 Bitcoin (BTC) block reward in return. The estimated value of the payout is over $150,000. The solo miner was also lucky to have produced a valid hash just after two days of the mining, as the event itself is rare and can take months for a solo miner to produce a valid hash. The rare event occurred on March 10 and was only the 270th solo mined block in Bitcoin’s 13-year-long history. The event's rarity could be understood from the fact that a solo miner of this size will usually solve a block on average about once every 10 months.
