The solo miner of Bitcoin block 888,737—won last week with a $266,000 BTC reward—shared their story with Bitcoin mining hardware creator FutureBit, whose Apollo miners helped lead to the sizable score.
The anonymous miner, who took home more than 3.15 BTC or around $266,000 last week between the fixed reward and transaction fees, did so with a home setup composed of three FutureBit Apollo miners and one Bitmain SK19pro, according to the shared email posted to X.
“I usually have the Apollo miners set on efficiency mode,” the email reads. “During the colder months, I run the SK19Pro at 60TH during the day and 100 at night,” it continues, adding that other than some scheduled tasks that stop hashing during the peak electricity times, “everything else is the default settings.”
A solo Bitcoin miner hit the jackpot early Friday, mining a block without a pool of supporting miners and bagging a $266,000 reward in the process. But just how realistic is such a feat? On Friday, an unknown miner processed Bitcoin block 888,737. The block contained 2,327 transactions and the miner received a payout of 3.125 BTC, as well as 0.032 BTC in fees. At today's Bitcoin price of $84,257 per coin, that's a more than $266,000 payday. Another Solo Block for FutureBit Apollo! pic.twitter...
That setup was enough to get the ultimate reward for a solo miner. It’s also a highly unlikely win, given that large-scale publicly traded firms and mining pools dominate the industry.
“I scrolled through the Apollo website on my phone, still in the comfort of my bed,” the miner wrote. “I looked at the SOLO Mining User’s panel. What appeared next stopped me cold.”
Moments later, launching the BlueWallet app on their iPhone, the miner confirmed their suspicions that they had successfully “found a block.”
Block 888737 - A Short Story
Our awesome anonymous customer who hit the last Apollo Solo Block reached out to our team and allowed us to share their epic story with the world!

“‘We found a block! We found a block!’ I yelled, my voice echoing through the house,” wrote the anonymous miner. “I bolted from bed, racing downstairs to my computer… there, in bold, beautiful letters were the words: block accepted. A grin spread across my face—victory was mine, and it felt incredible.”
Despite multiple solo scores in recent months, the energy-intensive nature of mining typically leads to industrial-sized setups or mining pools taking home the vast majority of block rewards—the new Bitcoin supply that is created to reward those who verify and validate the network.
FutureBit offers various mining products on its website for individuals looking to pursue a home mining rig. Its cheapest product starts at $376 after a discount, with other miners ranging up to a price of $2,100.
The firm did not immediately respond to Decrypt’s request for comment.

Notorious internet image board 4chan has always thrived on conflict—but its latest kerfuffle is entirely internal. A rival group hacked the board, exposing user data and deepening the rifts within a community built on chaos and anonymity. On Monday, 4chan went offline around 2:02 p.m. EST, with over 1,200 outage reports logged on Downdetector. Users on X (formerly Twitter) quickly pointed to a hack by an imageboard group known as the Soyjak Party—also called “the Sharty.” The hackers allegedly e...
Betting on the future of human-like machines, New York-based Roundhill Investments filed a prospectus with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to launch a Humanoid Robotics ETF. If approved, the fund would expose investors to companies at the forefront of humanoid robotics, a rapidly evolving area of artificial intelligence. Humanoid robotics refers to robots that resemble and function similarly to humans. These robots typically have a human-like structure, including a head, torso, arms,...
The upcoming revival of tech entrepreneur and investor Kevin Rose’s social news site Digg has a crypto connection, as the social news platform is using embedded wallet platform Privy as an account authenticator for its revamped launch. Privy is currently utilized in other popular Web3 applications like NFT marketplace OpenSea and token launchpad Pump.fun, allowing users to create a crypto wallet with just an email. That abstracts away technical complexities like seed phrases that have been barri...
