It depends on luck for such people. There are solo miners that are still mining blocks, but their hash rate is not really small but significantly smaller than the hash rates produced by mining pools.
But the mining pools with the highest hash rate will be the one producing more blocks and getting the mining reward.
You can see the hash rate here:
https://mempool.space/miningThese are blocked mined and the mining pool or miner that mined the block:
https://mempool.space/blocks/1Compare both and see what I am taking about. You will rarely see unknown miners but they are there.
If the hash rate is very small like using a computer to try it, the chance to produce a block is almost zero. Those solo miners are still having ASICs to do the work.
I did used to view Mempool in past but never paid attention to blocks or mining, for some reason mempool.space isn’t opening on my phone.. Though I do remember there a few pools like ‘Viabtc’ I don’t know if it’s the exact name but this pool mined many blocks when I regularly used to use mempool to view transactions.
I made this thread because of the reason i visited
Willi’s Group Buy thread and had some questions.
