Two Bitcoin Blocks in One Day: One EasyMining User Did It Twice
One Bitcoin block is a day to remember. Two Bitcoin blocks on the same day? That doesn't happen often.
On September 21, one EasyMining user managed to mine two Bitcoin blocks in a single day - and they were only four blocks apart.
The first was Bitcoin block #967911. Then came block #967915.
Both were found by the same user through EasyMining Solo Mining, using Gold L packages.
Together, the two blocks resulted in more than 6 BTC in block rewards, worth over $500,000 at the Bitcoin price at the time.
We got in touch with the miner after his incredible day, and he told us that the second block caught him completely by surprise.
He had already seen the first win. As he told us:
“That second block really surprised me. Funny enough, I learned of it after I glanced at NiceHash social media and was confused about others saying there was another block.”
Of course, this was an exceptional result. EasyMining is real mining, which means finding a block is based on probability.
That's also exactly what makes seeing that “Block Found” notification so special. And getting it twice on the same day? Even better.
EasyMining Has Been Getting More Ways to Enter
While our two-block miner was using Gold L packages with BTC, we've recently been expanding the ways NiceHash users can enter EasyMining.
One of the biggest additions is USDT.
Selected Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash Solo Mining packages can now be entered directly with USDT, starting from just 5 USDT.
We've also expanded USDT into Team Mining for Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash.
Solo or Team? It Depends on How You Want to Mine
The miner behind blocks #967911 and #967915 chose Solo Mining.
Solo is the straightforward option for users who want their own mining attempt. You select your package and, if its hashrate finds a block, the applicable reward goes to the successful package holder.
But Solo isn't the only way to use EasyMining.
With Team Mining, users participate together by buying shares in a package. If the team finds a block, the reward is distributed between participating shares according to the package conditions.
And with USDT now available for selected BTC and BCH Solo and Team options, it's easier to choose the type of mining experience that suits you.
There Is More to Mine Than BTC
Bitcoin naturally gets plenty of attention - especially when one EasyMining user finds two BTC blocks in a day - but EasyMining isn't only about Bitcoin.
Depending on current package availability, NiceHash users can also access mining opportunities for Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), Zcash (ZEC) and Kaspa (KAS).
Selected Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash packages are now available with USDT, while other EasyMining packages can be entered with BTC.
If you want to try Solo Mining, join a Team, or explore mining another proof-of-work coin, there are now more ways to participate in EasyMining.
So far, 203 Bitcoin blocks have been mined with EasyMining - and #967911 and #967915 are now part of that story.
Congratulations again to the miner behind these two blocks - and to everyone else mining with us,
Bitcoin Block #204 is still waiting to be mined.
