NiceHash User Finds Two Bitcoin Blocks with Rented Hashpower

A crypto miner using NiceHash's EasyMining service found two Bitcoin blocks in one day without owning or operating mining hardware. The blocks, #967911 and #967915, were found only four blocks apart and generated more than 6 BTC in combined block rewards.

The miner had purchased Gold L Solo Mining packages through NiceHash EasyMining at a cost of approximately 0.01 BTC per package.

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 without having to buy an ASIC or manage the technical setup themselves.

Selected packages start at 5 USDT, and users can choose from solo or team mining options. The two discoveries highlight how EasyMining enables users to participate in mining by purchasing hashpower rather than buying and setting up their own equipment.
