Solo Bitcoin miners seldom resolve blocks, not to mention those with small mining rigs.
The majority of Bitcoin is mined from the bigger swimming pools such as Foundry U.S.A.– which gets a big share of its hashrate from public Bitcoin miners like Cipher Mining, Bitfarms and Hut 8.
The biggest public Bitcoin mining company by market cap and hashrate, MARA Holdings, utilizes its own Bitcoin mining swimming pool, MARA Swimming pool.
While pocket-sized Bitcoin miners are barely rewarding, a few of these micro miners are being integrated in an open-source way to combat the “secrecy and exclusivity” of the Bitcoin mining market, among the home builders of Bitaxe miners, “Skot,” informed Cointelegraph in a September 2023 interview.
The majority of Bitcoin miners, such as those made by Bitmai, n are closed-sourced, which runs contrary to Bitcoin’s values, Skot stated.
” The introduction of these open-source jobs serves to clarify this typically nontransparent location, making it more transparent and available to the general public.”
