The Bitaxe can certainly mine and block and find a reward (they have done so in the past) - but with current difficulty and hashpower...it's unlikely 😎

Having done so in the past, was that one axe one time??
For some yes, others no.
It can be difficult to find accurate data on solo miners (for good reasons), but there are some verified cases of just ONE Bitaxe hitting a block.
See here:
Cointelegraph
Tiny 500Gh/s home Bitcoin mining device produced a block, earning over $200K BTC
A solo Bitaxe miner small enough to fit in a human hand successfully mined a block using only 500 Gh/s of power.
Hasn't this happened a couple of times in the last year
Yep! But usually with solo mining, a winner's hashrate is much higher.
