8月4日，一名独立矿工打包了比特币第960804个区块，获得约3.157枚比特币奖励。GO Markets表示，这次成功具有偶然性，却让小型参与者在算力竞争中的位置再次受到关注。
GO Markets认为，独立挖矿类似高频率极低的概率事件：参与者无需与矿池分配奖励，但也可能在很长时间内没有收入。
今年已有13个区块由独立矿工获得。这个数字说明网络仍允许不同规模的算力参与，但从整体占比看，大型矿池依然掌握主要出块能力。更广泛的行业背景并不轻松。
币价、全网难度、电力成本和设备效率共同压缩利润，一些大型矿企开始利用现有电力和场地拓展数据中心业务。这种转向显示矿业公司正在寻找更稳定的收入组合。
GO Markets判断，单次高额奖励不宜代表矿业景气度；全网算力、单位算力收入和难度调整，才是衡量经营环境更稳定的指标。
