That's an incredible feat! A solo miner with such a low hash rate managing to mine a full Bitcoin block is like winning the lottery. The Bitaxe is a small, open-source Bitcoin mining device, and while its hash rate is tiny compared to industrial ASIC miners, luck was on their side.

This shows that even small-scale miners can still get lucky in Bitcoin mining, despite the dominance of large mining farms. With the current 3.15 BTC block reward (including fees), that’s a huge return on what’s essentially a hobbyist setup.
