NiceHash Miner Finds Two Bitcoin Blocks in One Day with Rented Hashpower

NiceHash's EasyMining platform enabled a crypto miner to find two Bitcoin blocks on the same day without owning or operating mining hardware. The miner used the platform's Gold L Solo Mining packages, which cost approximately 0.01 BTC per package. The two blocks, #967911 and #967915, were found only four blocks apart and generated more than 6 BTC in combined block rewards.

The discovery highlights how EasyMining allows users to participate in mining by purchasing hashpower rather than buying and setting up their own equipment. Finding a block is uncertain, and purchasing a package does not guarantee a reward.

NiceHash has operated a marketplace for computing power, known as hashpower, for over a decade. EasyMining gives users a way to purchase a mining package and use its hashpower for a mining attempt. Users can select a package without having to buy an ASIC or install mining hardware at home.

Selected packages start at 5 USDT, and users can choose an eligible package, pay with USDT, and follow the outcome of the mining attempt through the platform. Package availability and pricing may vary.
