Key Takeaways:
A solo home miner using a Canaan Avalon Nano 3S at 6.68 TH/s won Bitcoin block 951771 on May 30, 2026, at 4:27:23 p.m. Eastern Time (ET).The block reward of 3.1404 BTC was worth approximately $232,000, paid out via Braiins Solo pool.Roughly 20 to 24 solo home mining wins have occurred in the past 12 months, with odds of about 1 in 149 million per block.The probability that this specific machine would find any given block works out to approximately 6.72 in a billion, or one in 148,904,370. At 144 blocks mined per day, the daily odds for one such rig were about one in 1.03 million. Running continuously, the expected wait time to find a single block would be around 2,831 years.
The miner reportedly operated a small fleet, including two Avalon Mini 3 units and 12 Avalon Nano 3S units totaling roughly 147 TH/s.
At the fleet level, the odds improve to approximately one in 6.7 million per block, with an expected win every 127 years. But pool data and the block announcement credited a single Nano 3S worker at 6.68 TH/s as the machine that found block 951771.
Not the First, Still RareSeveral solo and hybrid mining services cater to home miners and hobbyists, including Futurebit Solo, CKPool Solo, Public Pool, Braiins Solo, Parasite, and Nicehash Easymining. Solo, or home-based mining, has experienced a renewed wave of interest and participation.
